He doesn’t hold himself back. Not in the way he lives, not in the way he wants things, and definitely not in the way he lets people see him. AJ Sterling knows exactly what kind of impression he leaves, and he leans into it.
Ylang Ylang: Lush and heady, floral with a heavy sweetness. There’s nothing subtle about him when he chooses to show up. He takes up space, and he enjoys it.
Bitter Orange: Bright with a sharp edge. Charm that hits fast, a spark that keeps people paying attention even when they know better.
Dark Rum: Rich and warm with a deep, boozy sweetness. Indulgence without apology, the kind that comes from not worrying about consequences until later.
Black Orchid: Dark and velvety, floral with a shadow underneath. There’s more going on than he lets people see at first, something deeper that keeps people coming back.
It settles warm and intoxicating, citrus fading into something darker and more lingering. AJ Sterling doesn’t make safe choices. He makes the ones he wants, and lets the rest sort itself out.
