    Real talk

    Some will find it too sweet. Most will find it perfect. The musk and powder in the base keep it from cloying, it wears close, intimate, warm. Sweetness isn't the weakness here. It's the whole point.Lipsens
    The vanilla here isn't frosting, it's warm cream and wood. Paired with the brightness of quince and the intimacy of musk, it creates something that works overtime without drawing attention.Midnight Shimmer
