    Real talk

    Loukhoum doesn't whisper. It wraps. Rose and almond and honey aren't notes here, they're the whole architecture of a scent that decided sweetness could be a statement. One spray and you're in it.Loukhoum
    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
