    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
    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
