    Real talk

    Mint usually plays second fiddle in orientals. Here it takes the lead, and the tobacco keeps the composition grounded in something unexpected. The unlikely pairing works, cool and dark.Oriental Mint
    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
