What do reviewers say about Oud & Santal and Chergui?
Oud can intimidate. This isn't that. Mathilde Laurent stripped the barnyard and kept the bewitching part, oud's resinous darkness softened by plum and sandalwood into something almost approachable.Oud & Santal
If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
