    Real talk

    This isn't a soft vanilla. The patchouli leans in heavy, and that makes some people nervous. But for those who give it time, the combination reveals itself as something more substantial than expected.Vanilla
    It rewards patience. The opening is soft, almost too quiet, then the creamy vanilla and sandalwood build into something you can't stop smelling. One of those fragrances that grows on you.Shunkoin
