What do reviewers say about Material and Eternal Oud?
This is the fragrance for people who want to smell expensive without announcing it. The opening is confrontational in the best way, dense elemi, patchouli that lingers like wet earth, a green-earth.Material
This is the oud for people who think they don't like oud. It arrives late and leaves quietly, wrapped in enough vanilla and tonka that the wood never snarls.Eternal Oud
Good to know
