    What do reviewers say about Gladiator Oud and Oud Imperial?

    This doesn't whisper. The cumin and hay open like arena dust, earthy, warm, almost medicinal before the oud arrives to lend it all some aristocratic dignity. Strong sillage, strong conviction.Gladiator Oud
    Oud without compromise. No softening, no hedging, just the resinous, animalic depth of the real thing. For those who want oud the way it grows: bold, a little rough, and impossible to ignore.Oud Imperial
