    Real talk

    Tonka and tobacco is a familiar combination, but Châtelain 22 executes it with enough conviction to earn the hype. The marzipan opening hooks you, the creaminess keeps you.Châtelain 22
    Sweet-woody with an edge. For someone who wants vanilla without the obvious, almond without the pastry. The mineral and pepper give it a pulse beneath the warmth. A quiet luxury, not a statement.Bois Doré
