Real talk
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
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
