What do reviewers say about Colonia Oud and Riserva IX?
It doesn't hit you over the head. The oud here is civilized, almost gentle, the kind that earns respect rather than demands it. The drydown stays close.Colonia Oud
Tiger lily brings something different here. It's not the typical rose or jasmine, but a floral with more presence and a slightly bitter edge that keeps the sweetness honest.Riserva IX
