    Real talk

    The rose here isn't delicate. It's powdered, almost dusty, and the oud doesn't apologize for being sour. Together they create something that reads as expensive without asking permission.Octavian
    The oud doesn't whisper. It enters the room and sits down. Some will find that overwhelming; others will find it finally honest. The rose and saffron opening is almost apologetic.Nebulous
