    Real talk

    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
    UERMI made a fragrance about latex without making it a novelty piece. The vinyl is real, the aldehydes are sharp, and the ozonic opening gives it an unexpected breath of clean air.XX ± Latex
