    Real talk

    Pierre Guillaume called this 'a pungent breath inspired by the Sahara.' That says it all, really. Mint cuts the heat, salt keeps it interesting, and the spicy-woody drydown is what you remember three.Harmatan Noir 11
    Salt in a floral is the move that separates this from every other peony scent. It keeps the petals from going sweet, the citrus from going flat. Not playing it safe. That's the whole point.Sympathy For The Sun
