    What do reviewers say about Halfeti and Avant-Garde?

    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
    A leather-forward masculine scent that doesn't flinch. Where most masculine fragrances hide their iris behind wood and spice, Avant Garde lets it breathe, powdery, deliberate, a little unexpected.Avant-Garde
