    Real talk

    This is oud for someone who wants the real thing, concentrated, unapologetic, with enough rose and vanilla to keep it from feeling like a punishment. Not for the faint-hearted, but for the curious?Oud Maximus
    The animalic base is the whole point. Castoreum, civet, labdanum, these are materials that divide people, and that's exactly why they belong here. They give Oud Monarch something most fragrances.Oud Monarch
