What do reviewers say about Close To My Heart and Marfa Oud?
If you love tuberose, this is your fragrance. Jasmine and rose swell through the heart, but it never feels cartoonish because the oud and patchouli are waiting in the wings to ground everything.Close To My Heart
Oud isn't the point here, tuberose is. If you came for aggressive, this isn't it. But if you want the flower and the wood to actually talk to each other.Marfa Oud
