    Real talk

    CYCLE 001 opens with angelica's green, slightly anise character, no citrus or aquatic notes here. The iris arrives shortly after, soft and powdery, and the whole composition settles into skin-warm.CYCLE 001
    If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
