    Real talk

    Some roses flirt. This one argues. The leather isn't a background note, it's the whole point. Wear it if you want people to know you chose something, not something that chose you.Hollyrose
    Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
