What do reviewers say about Byzantium and Femme Intense?
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
Here's the thing about Femme Intense: it smells expensive without trying. Peony and vanilla is a classic pairing, but Zara executes it with a powdery warmth that lingers close to the skin.Femme Intense
