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
Sweet enough to flirt, dry enough to mean it. That's the plum-tobacco pairing, it doesn't ask permission. If you've been burned by vanilla bombs that turn clinical.Forbidden Temptation
