    Real talk

    The opening is aggressive. That's not a flaw, it's the saffron doing its job. Wait for the beeswax and rum to arrive. This one rewards patience, and the drydown is genuinely addictive. Bold, not safe.Sang Noir
    Halfeti is uncompromising in its richness and complexity. The cumin and oud give it an edge that polarises, but the rose and vanilla prevent it from tipping into darkness.Halfeti
