Via con i boschi

I was skeptical a $25 fragrance could smell this layered, but the dry-down is where it really earns its keep. It sits close to the skin instead of announcing itself, which is exactly what I wanted for the office.

I grabbed the smallest size thinking $25 was worth a shot, and it's become my daily go-to. The woodsy depth sneaks up on you an hour in — nothing loud, just warm and grounded.

The 1 oz size fits perfectly on my dresser and the woodsy scent is subtle enough for everyday wear without being overpowering. It lingers softly for hours and I've already had two people ask what I'm wearing.
