    Real talk

    The pepper and geranium either pull you in or don't. That's the point, it doesn't seduce, it provokes. A niche fragrance that earns its wearers instead of collecting them.Silphium
    This is vetiver for people who find most masculine fragrances too polite. The grapefruit opening is brief, a flash of citrus before vetiver takes over and stays.Red Vetiver
