    Real talk

    This won't fill a room. That's not the point. Shea keeps it close, creamy, warm, with osmanthus adding a sweet lift that stops it from getting heavy. Peony softens the overall impression.Shea
    Not a fragrance that wants to be noticed from across the bar. The kind you'd catch on someone's scarf and lean in closer without realizing why. Karité wraps around, creamy, warm, effortless.Karité
