    Real talk

    The rice accord is the real move here. Not rice as a food note, but rice as warmth, as something almost humid and grounding that keeps the saffron and apple from ever getting too sharp.Zazen
    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
