    Real talk

    This isn't a fragrance you grow into. You arrive wearing it, or you don't. The 2022 composition pulls no punches: leather, oud, tobacco. Above-average longevity means something that doesn't ask.Al Bashiq
    If smoky leather makes you nervous, walk past this one. For everyone else: the somali frankincense does something rare, it's incense that smells expensive, not ecclesiastical.Black Incense Malaki
