Real talk
The drydown alone justifies the price. That leather note sitting above amber and vanilla is rare at this bracket. Not the most nuanced oud, but it performs and projects like something twice the cost.Oud
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
