    Real talk

    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
    Gourmand but not sweet the way you'd expect. The hazelnut and sandalwood base keeps things grounded, close to the skin. What makes this one worth trying is that cardamom note in the opening.Bishra
