    Real talk

    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
    Honey-tobacco can skew geriatric in the wrong hands. Not here. Rodrigo Flores-Roux keeps the sweetness honest, the smoke present, the whole thing grounded in something resinous and modern.Ummo
