    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for people who want sweet but not simple. The opening splits opinions, mint and lavender cool enough to make you pause, but once the strawberry and honey arrive.Hard Candy
    Arabian Knight doesn't try to seduce you. It simply arrives, bold, warm, and certain of itself. The cinnamon-rose heart is what people either obsess over or find too traditional.Arabian Knight
