    Real talk

    Gourmand fragrances usually announce themselves. Mur Mur whispers, then stays. The sweetness here isn't loud, it's persistent, like a song you didn't know you knew the words to. That's the trick.Mur Mur
    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
