    What do reviewers say about New York Oud and Black Aoud?

    Most oud fragrances want you to think they're mysterious. This one doesn't play that game, it opens confident and stays confident, letting the honey and saffron do the talking.New York Oud
    Black Aoud isn't subtle, and that's the whole point. If you've been curious about oud but found it too harsh, this rose-wrapped version is where it clicks. The sillage? Enormous. The longevity?Black Aoud
