Vi Et Armis 오 드 퍼퓸

I sprayed this on at noon and by evening the lapsang souchong had mellowed into something almost cozy, like a campfire you can wear. It's genuinely chaotic in the first hour, but that's exactly why I keep reaching for it.

The dry-down is where this really shines—the lapsang souchong comes through like a campfire wrapped in something almost sweet, and it lasts on my coat for two days. It’s chaotic at first spray, but give it ten minutes and it settles into a smoky, warm hug that gets me compliments every time.

I usually hate smoky scents, but the lapsang souchong note here is genius—it smells like a fancy tea lounge caught fire in the best way. Lasted a full workday on my skin, and I kept catching whiffs that made me smile.
