    Real talk

    Jany does not try to be anything other than what it is: a warm, fruit-forward comfort scent. The apple, peach and apricot in the opening are sweet from the start with no sharp tartness to them.Jany
    This is smoke that doesn't clear. The carnation keeps things strange, plum adds a sweetness that feels almost accidental. It's the kind of fragrance you either need or you don't.Protean Desire
