What do reviewers say about Russian Oud and Oud Monarch?
Here's the thing about Russian Oud: it's not the oud you borrowed from someone else. It's dark, resinous, and commanding, with castoreum and deer musk holding the whole thing together like leather.Russian Oud
The animalic base is the whole point. Castoreum, civet, labdanum, these are materials that divide people, and that's exactly why they belong here. They give Oud Monarch something most fragrances.Oud Monarch
