    Real talk

    Barel does not go for shock value here. The spices are present but controlled, and the leather never dominates. If you want something that smells expensive without being aggressive, this is it.Spice D'Arno
    This is vanilla that doesn't play games. Cinnamon and orange blossom announce themselves from the first spray, the sweetness isn't subtle, and it doesn't try to be.Althaïr
