What do reviewers say about Black Calamus and Tobacco Oud?
This one polarizes. The calamus leans dry, almost medicinal, and the resinous sweetness isn't for everyone. But if you want something that smells like it knows things, dark, smoky, complex.Black Calamus
The whiskey opening polarizes. Some swear it's off-putting; others describe it as the best thing about this fragrance. That disagreement is exactly the point.Tobacco Oud
