    Rose and angelica together sound like a mistake. They don't smell like one. Angelica keeps the rose from being sweet, adds that green, slightly bitter edge.Lyric Woman
    The coriander and cardamom don't overpower, they support. That balance is rare. Floral enough to flirt, earthy enough to ground you. Different from the usual oriental playbook.The Sands of Aqaba
