    What do reviewers say about East and Salalah (Julien Rasquinet)?

    Oud and raspberry shouldn't work. But here, the fruit keeps the darkness from getting heavy while the leather keeps the sweetness from getting soft. It's the kind of contradiction that makes you lean.East
    Oud-forward fragrances can feel heavy-handed. This one earns its boldness. The rose and plum keep it from becoming a lecture in resin, and the drydown actually improves as the day goes on.Salalah (Julien Rasquinet)
