    Real talk

    This one polarizes hard. Some people wrinkle at the sweetness; others want to bath in it. The fragrance commits fully to its gourmand character, offering no compromise for those seeking subtlety.Sweet Oriental Dream
    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
