What do reviewers say about Russian Oud II and Lao Oud?
Oud and chocolate is a combination that either intrigues you or makes you hesitate. For those already in the tent: this is the version that doesn't hedge.Russian Oud II
This one doesn't whisper. The animalic oud walks in like it owns the room, and the coffee grounds the whole thing in something dark and honest. If you've been curious about real oud.Lao Oud
