What do reviewers say about Chinese Oud II and Diaghilev?
This is aldehydic florals done the way they used to be, not as a nod to the classics, but as the real thing. The oud doesn't shout. It settles into the back of the composition like a secret kept for.Chinese Oud II
The civet and oakmoss make this a fragrance that wears you as much as you wear it. It's not subtle, it's a statement made at full volume in a library.Diaghilev
