    Real talk

    This fragrance earns its name. The opening is genuinely aquatic-green, cucumber and violet leaf that reads like rain on stone, but it refuses to stay cool.London
    This is the fragrance for people who want to smell expensive without announcing it. The opening is confrontational in the best way, dense elemi, patchouli that lingers like wet earth, a green-earth.Material
