What do reviewers say about Bacara and Oud Wood?
This is the fragrance that makes people argue about rhubarb. It shouldn't work, tart vegetable in a citrus structure, but it does. Cedar keeps everything civilized while ambergris whispers rather.Bacara
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
