What do reviewers say about Royal Oud and Intense Black?
Oud and sweetness shouldn't work together. One is resinous and brooding, the other soft and inviting. Royal Oud makes them neighbours anyway, and somehow they get along.Royal Oud
A solid daily driver if you want something with real character. The oud and frankincense drydown saves it from being just another fresh-citrus scent.Intense Black
