    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
    This isn't a fragrance you grow into. You arrive wearing it, or you don't. The 2022 composition pulls no punches: leather, oud, tobacco. Above-average longevity means something that doesn't ask.Al Bashiq
