    Real talk

    This one won't knock anyone over. Rose and magnolia, caught in a clean ozonic shimmer, fading close and powdery. Built for people who want to wear something, not perform it.Rose Silk
    Serious rose, not the delicate kind. The vetiver and cedarwood base keeps it grounded. Osmanthus adds a honeyed apricot note you won't see coming. Powdery warmth without being soft.Encre Noire Pour Elle
