    Real talk

    Most powdery florals play it safe. Balqis doesn't. The vanilla amplifies every soft note until the heliotrope and osmanthus become something you haven't smelled before. Comforting? Absolutely.Balqis Reine de Saba
    The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
