    Real talk

    One flower. No chorus. If you've been searching for the lily itself, not a bouquet, not a interpretation, this is it. Transparent, clean, almost monastic in its simplicity. Some call it linear.Un Lys
    Beeswax absolute isn't in most fragrances. It adds a waxy, almost honeyed depth that sits between the florals and the woods, unusual, a little retro, definitely not another safe floral.Yin And Ylang
