    Real talk

    It does exactly what a layered fragrance should: it changes on you. The citrus-lavender opening is clean and assertive, but give it twenty minutes and honeyed jasmine takes over, followed hours later.Enigma
    Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
