★★★★★
"A masterclass in restraint."
The cardamom-mint top reads as new, fresh on a parfum is a difficult trick. I would wear this in the back of a car, in Cairo, in November.

★★★★★
"The vanilla is grown-up."
Brown sugar without the cloy. It dries down to a tonka skin-scent that my wife noticed three nights running.
★★★★★
"Better than the EDT, by a wide margin."
Deeper, drier, longer. Worth the upcharge, and Gharam's batch was a recent one, October '25.
