    Real talk

    Obsidian keeps surprising me. The iris and citrus opening feels delicate, then leather dominates and refuses to apologize. By the drydown it settles into something refined and contemplative.Obsidian
    It's been called a Naxos riff, and that's not wrong. The comparison exists because the DNA is similar. But Italia takes its own approach, sweet enough to flirt, dry enough to hold the room.Italia
