    Spiced rose with depth, saffron gives it an edge most florals won't touch. Oriental warmth without the usual sweetness. This is the one for people who think they don't like rose.Absolute Oriental
    This one leans into richness without heaviness. The rose is lush, the oud is present but not aggressive, and praline keeps things from getting too serious.Velvet Rose & Oud
