What do reviewers say about Monoi and Byzantium?
This is not a safe blind buy. It's a statement. If you want a fragrance that whispers, look elsewhere. Monoi owns the room it walks into, warm, tropical, unapologetically sweet.Monoi
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
