What do reviewers say about Ilham and La Capitale?
This is sweet, but not obedient. The oud doesn't hide from the caramel, it sits beside it, reshaping what sweetness means. Vanilla anchors the whole thing. Some collectors chase this for years.Ilham
La Capitale does not whisper. Strawberry and caramel open sweet, leather and saffron take over, then benzoin, bourbon vanilla, and oud. It's for someone who wants to be noticed.La Capitale
