Here's the thing about Muse: it's not trying to announce itself. That's the whole point. The ink note, photorealistic, almost graphite, pairs with iris and vanilla in a way that reads as quiet.Muse
Punk Romantic earns its name by being warm without going soft. The vanilla doesn't cozy up, it holds its ground next to black pepper and olive wood, and that's what makes it work.Punk Romantic
