    Real talk

    This is the fragrance that smells like a well-spent summer afternoon, basil cutting through the warmth like a breeze off the Mediterranean. The tobacco adds depth without darkness.Man
    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
