    This is the oud for people who don't like oud. No barnyard, no rose-window dressing. Just the resinous heart of it, clean, warm, and present. The aldehydes keep it from getting heavy.Assam
    Norne doesn't smell like a candle shop. It smells like walking through a Pacific Northwest forest, the kind of place where resinous fir trees dominate and moss covers everything in sight.Norne
