    Real talk

    Lavender gives this one a surprisingly clean, almost clinical edge that some find too medicinal, but the cedar and violet leaf keep it grounded and elegant. Not a crowd-pleaser by design.Cedar
    The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
