What do reviewers say about Oud Ispahan and Black Oud?
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
Oud walks into the room, but quietly. The smoke doesn't fill the space so much as settle into it. This is the oud for people who want the depth without the drama, the dark without the edge.Black Oud
