    Real talk

    Animalic notes don't flinch. They lean in. Civet, hyraceum, castoreum. Here, beeswax wraps around them and turns the rawness into something that glows.Nocturnal Poetry
    Not for the faint of heart. The animalic notes here aren't decorative, they're the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like a room someone else just left, this is your fragrance.DEV #1: Foreplay
