    Real talk

    The milky coffee and fig pairing is the move here. Not everyone expects a fragrance to smell like a latte and a pastry, but that's exactly why it works.El Cardenal
    A warm amber that sits close to the skin, sweet but not overwhelming. Frankincense adds something unexpected under the sweetness, resinous, with a slight smokiness that keeps the composition grounded.Glow
