    Real talk

    Oud for people who think they don't like oud. The resinous warmth is there, but so is restraint, light enough to wear daily, strong enough to mean it.Imperial
    Bold without apology. Leather and smoke own the opening, benzoin owns the drydown, and the longevity is above average so you won't need to reapply throughout the day. If you want subtle, keep walking.Niche Emarati Khalid
