    Real talk

    The kind of warmth that doesn't demand a room. Powdery, yes, but the powder of aldehydes and heliotrope, not department store dust. This is the fragrance you wear when you've stopped trying to.Cornubia
    Hypnotic Poison doesn't play it safe. The coconut and almond give it real weight, real warmth. It's sweet, yes, but with a density that borders on something you could almost eat.Hypnotic Poison
