    Real talk

    Sweet enough to stop you in your tracks, but the tonka drydown keeps it from becoming dessert. Most vanilla fragrances announce themselves loudly, this one leans close instead.Vanilla Date
    Suma Oriental is not a safe blind buy. The rum and cocoa opening is bold, and the patchouli heart makes no apologies. If you enjoy earthy, woody compositions with a touch of sweetness, this rewards.Suma Oriental
