    Bold and excessive isn't for everyone, but it is for someone. That someone wants to be noticed. Salted pistachio opening, black carnation heart, vanilla suede drydown.The Black Carnation
    This is sweeter than you might expect from the name. The magnolia and tonka give it a softness that plays against the oud base. If you want pure darkness, look elsewhere.Pardon
