Real talk
There are plenty of fresh fragrances that stay clean. Ascension doesn't. That bergamot arrives with an edge, sharp and assertive in a way that feels deliberate.Ascension
This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
