    What do reviewers say about True Oud and Cuir Sublime Oud?

    This isn't the oud that elbows its way into a room. The Thai oud here is refined, almost restrained, held in place by saffron's quiet heat. A slight sweetness keeps it approachable without turning.True Oud
    This is leather for someone who doesn't want to smell like everyone else. The violet keeps it from being heavy, cool and slightly green against the warmth of the oud.Cuir Sublime Oud
