    Real talk

    The white florals are the star, datura, black lily, narcissus, but they're grounded by something darker underneath. Oakmoss and plum create an earthy, slightly sweet base that keeps the sweetness.Afraid of the Dark: Lady Death
    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
