    Real talk

    This isn't a fragrance that asks permission. The peppermint opening hits like a cold slap, then settles into something that smells like a well-worn library and damp earth.Vetiver Royal Bourbon
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
