    Real talk

    This is a fragrance for someone who appreciates sweetness without needing it to perform. Built around cherry and almond that read homemade rather than artificial.Vanilla & Tonka Bean
    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
