    This is the fragrance you wear when you want to smell like a vacation you haven't taken yet. It's not subtle, but that's the point, bright, happy, and unapologetically tropical.Romantica Exotica
    This is one of the more interesting budget-orientals available. The almond-cinnamon opening has more character than you might expect from the brand. The drydown with cocoa and oud is where it earns.Byzantium
