    Real talk

    This doesn't whisper. Saffron stays sharp, leather stays bold, oud stays long. If you want a fragrance that earns attention rather than begs for it, this fits.Meydan
    If you want a polite fragrance, look elsewhere. African Leather announces itself and doesn't apologize. The leather in the drydown is the real deal, not some synthetic imitation.African Leather
