    Real talk

    Some fragrances announce themselves. D.S. demands you meet it. That saffron opening hits sharp and golden, it either hooks you immediately or requires a moment.D.S.
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
