What do reviewers say about Halfeti and Empire?
Halfeti is uncompromising in its richness and complexity. The cumin and oud give it an edge that polarises, but the rose and vanilla prevent it from tipping into darkness.Halfeti
Saffron and leather is an unusual pairing, most fragrances lean one direction or the other, but Empire tries to hold both. The result is a scent that asks for patience.Empire
