What do reviewers say about Oud Ambre and Cuir Noir?
The oud here isn't showy. It's tamed by amber, softened by spice. What you get is the idea of oud, resinous, warm, slightly animalic, without the full commitment most oud fragrances demand.Oud Ambre
This is leather that learned warmth. Not the harsh stuff, the kind that's been handled, worn, loved. The vanilla and benzoin don't soften it so much as complicate it.Cuir Noir
Good to know
