What do reviewers say about DEV #1: Foreplay and Nocturnal Poetry?
Not for the faint of heart. The animalic notes here aren't decorative, they're the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like a room someone else just left, this is your fragrance.DEV #1: Foreplay
Animalic notes don't flinch. They lean in. Civet, hyraceum, castoreum. Here, beeswax wraps around them and turns the rawness into something that glows.Nocturnal Poetry
