What do reviewers say about Almas and Octavian?
Oud that doesn't ask permission. Almas opens opinionated and stays opinionated, with the oud base providing substantial depth that carries through the wear.Almas
The rose here isn't delicate. It's powdered, almost dusty, and the oud doesn't apologize for being sour. Together they create something that reads as expensive without asking permission.Octavian
