    Real talk

    The opening punch is real. Aggressive pepper and cinnamon announce themselves without apology, this is not a shy fragrance. But the vanilla cake that follows, the part most oud oils fail to capture.Malinau
    Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
