    Real talk

    Oud that learned some manners. Iris that didn't. That's the whole story, two notes, one contradiction, and it works because neither side gives up. Powdery violet softness against resinous wood depth.S. Excès Femme
    Encounter doesn't try to be everything. It's warm, it's woody, it's got enough rum to be interesting without turning into a cocktail. The oud shows up late and stays quiet.Encounter
