    Real talk

    This is a sweet fragrance that knows when to stop being sweet. Its rich base of oud and leather prevents the sweetness from becoming a one-note confection.Oud Candy
    Not a safe blind buy. The saffron opening is polarizing, and the oud in the drydown is unmistakable. Sample first. If the wine-stain concept appeals, the execution delivers.Purple Stain
