    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
    Sweet enough to mean it. Not performative, not aggressive. The coconut milk keeps it from going full dessert, and the musk underneath means it settles into skin rather than air.Caldo Gourmand
