Real talk
Rahá Loukoum is sweet enough that people expect to hate it. The powdery florals and heliotrope are present throughout, creating a composition that remains cohesive as it develops.Rahat Loukoum
This is one of the more interesting budget-orientals available. The almond-cinnamon opening has more character than you might expect from the brand. The drydown with cocoa and oud is where it earns.Byzantium
