    Real talk

    Bold and resinous enough to polarize. Some will find it too assertive; others will find it the only fragrance that actually insists on something. The warm spice and oud keep it anchored to the skin.I Am Not a Flower
    Anne Flipo essentially made oud approachable by letting dates and rose do the heavy lifting upfront, so if you have been burned by the resinous intensity of other oud fragrances, this one starts.Oud Blanc
