    What do reviewers say about cruising-area and Notorious Oud?

    This isn't a fragrance you choose. It chooses the night. The smoke is thick, the clove bites, and patchouli doesn't apologize for being patchouli. If you're looking for something safe, look elsewhere.cruising-area
    Notorious Oud leans into everything mainstream oud tends to hide. The civet, the camphor, the metallic edge. It doesn't smooth itself into something polite or easily ignored.Notorious Oud
