    Real talk

    Percival is an aromatic powerhouse that does not play it safe. The lavender and coriander heart gives it a classically masculine edge while the balsam fir and tonka base adds warmth that lingers.Percival
    Here's the thing about Absolutely Dark: the name oversells intensity. It's actually the opposite, refined, close-wearing, the kind of scent that makes people lean in rather than step back.Absolutely Dark
