    Real talk

    Seemann doesn't care if you like it. That's the draw. The marine-fish-seaweed core is bracing, unconventional, built for someone who wears the ocean's indifference like a stance.Seemann
    The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
