What do reviewers say about Arabian Desert and 500 Years?
It doesn't shout. The opening's bright enough to get attention, but the oud underneath has other ideas, this is the fragrance for someone who doesn't need to walk in first.Arabian Desert
The oud-rose heart is either the reason to buy this or the reason to skip it. Bold, unapologetic, almost confrontational in its sincerity. A fragrance that doesn't flinch.500 Years
