    Real talk

    A refined powdery-woody that divides opinion: the floral heart (iris, jasmine, lily of the valley) gives it an almost aristocratic softness, while the sandalwood-vetiver base keeps it from floating.No 1
    This fragrance asks something of you. It doesn't pander or soften. The civet and white florals together create a kind of tension, delicate and feral at once, that most compositions never attempt.Gold Man
