What do reviewers say about Russian Oud and Mr. Bojnokopff's Purple Hat?
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 chocolate and oud pairing is the kind of move that either pulls you in or makes you step back. Neither reaction is wrong. What makes it worth trying is that it never becomes a dessert.Mr. Bojnokopff's Purple Hat
