    Real talk

    This isn't a polite rose. The cinnamon and saffron give it a bite most rose fragrances sidestep entirely. The leather drydown is where this perfume earns its reputation, staying interesting long.Rose Oud
    Morillas takes a fragrance type often associated with dense, unapproachable ouds and makes it genuinely wearable. It prevents the rose and rum from becoming cloying.Musk Oud
