    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who'd rather be remembered than announced. The green tea and shiso opening is the tell, cool, almost austere, before the florals warm everything through.Sakura
    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
