    Real talk

    This one divides. Some find the praline sweetness too much; others spray it every morning like their alarm. That citrus opening doesn't play it safe, it's the bridge to something richer.Black XS
    Sweetness with a backbone. The praline-cinnamon core delivers warmth that extends late into the night, effortless and grounded. There's no performance here, just genuine.Zara Man Gold
