What do reviewers say about Oud Ispahan and Afrika Olifant?
Oud Ispahan is not for the faint of heart. The labdanum opening hits hard and the oud-rose drydown lingers for hours. If you want something subtle, look elsewhere.Oud Ispahan
This is not for the faint-hearted. If resinous animalics sound intimidating, this fragrance will confirm every suspicion. But for those who want to smell like an experience rather than a product,.Afrika Olifant
