    Real talk

    This one opens cool and austere. The herbs feel almost clinical, like gin and Listerine. But that restraint is the point, the smoke arrives as contrast, not continuation.Smoke on the Water
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
