    Real talk

    The oud doesn't sneak in. It waits until the saffron and honey have made their entrance, then settles like something expensive you've always wanted but never needed.Oud Saffron
    This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
