    The leather-tea combination isn't common, but it works. Black tea adds a smoky, mineral depth that keeps the leather from getting heavy. Tonka bean sweetens just enough to make it wearable.Lieber Gustav 14
    Halfeti is uncompromising in its richness and complexity. The cumin and oud give it an edge that polarises, but the rose and vanilla prevent it from tipping into darkness.Halfeti
