    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
    Cream, then vanilla. Close enough that only you wear it, but lasting long enough that no one forgets. Zara Femme doesn't fill a room, it earns a second look. Six to eight hours of proof.Zara Femme 2018
