    Real talk

    Dear Polly is not trying to be loud or performative. It is a composed, well-mannered fragrance that rewards attention rather than demanding it. The black tea heart is the quiet star here.Dear Polly
    The mint opening hits like cold water. Sharp, immediate, arresting. Then the green tea shifts the whole conversation and suddenly you're in something that smells like shade under citrus trees.55°c
