What do reviewers say about Black Oudh and Fortis?
Most oudh fragrances shout. Black Oudh whispers. Starts skin-close, then the woody base takes over and you're locked in for hours. Can your setting handle eight hours of this?Black Oudh
Most oud fragrances play it safe. Fortis doesn't. The cumin in the opening is a statement, earthy, animal, a little unapologetic. That's the whole appeal.Fortis
