What do reviewers say about Oud Maximus and Oud Wood?
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
Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
