What do reviewers say about Madinah and Shaghaf Oud?
Rose-forward orientals can feel stiff or old-fashioned. Madinah sidesteps both. The davana gives it an herbaceous edge that keeps the rose from going bridal.Madinah
Saffron takes the lead here, giving this oud fragrance a sharper, more metallic edge than most. The praline and vanilla soften what could have been a challenging oud.Shaghaf Oud
