What do reviewers say about Shay Oud and Trance?
This is the fragrance that announces itself before you do. Bold sillage, a rich oud presence that lingers on fabric and skin, and a honey-rose heart that keeps it from feeling austere.Shay Oud
If you want a polite rose, look elsewhere. This one bites back. The absinthe in the base is the real surprise here, giving it an edge that lasts for hours.Trance
