    Real talk

    The clove here isn't a polite seasoning, it bites. Combined with frankincense that reads more resinous smoke than church, Noir sits in territory that could veer costume if it weren't held so firmly.Noir
    LouLou is not a safe choice. It is big, resinous, and unapologetically floral with a plum-incense core that some adore and others find overwhelming. Wear it with intention or not at all.LouLou
