What do reviewers say about Sayat Nova and Alexandria II?
Boozy oriental with serious depth. Rum and oud together isn't common, it reads older, more deliberate, like a vintage find at a Bangkok market. If you want something safe, look elsewhere.Sayat Nova
The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
