L'Ame Slave Parfum

The honey and cedar dry-down turns this into something warm and almost smoky, and the bergamote keeps it bright enough for daytime wear. I've been reaching for it daily since it arrived, and the sillage is just right—not overpowering, but people definitely notice.

The Pu-erh tea note is what sold me—it grounds the sweetness of the honey and cedar in something almost earthy and calm. Lasts a solid eight hours on my skin, and the dry-down is where it really shines.

The bergamote opening is sharp and bright, but it settles into that warm Pu-erh tea and steppe herbs vibe that I keep catching whiffs of hours later. Even my coworker asked what I was wearing, which never happens.
