Real talk
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
Here's the thing about Oakbanum: it leans warm without ever getting heavy. The cognac and oak play off each other like two old friends who don't need to fill the silence.Oakbanum
