    Dark and grounding with an unexpected warmth. The smoky woody notes create an intimate aura that lingers well into the night. A rare reach for particular moods.My Love Has the Colour of the Night
    Oud rarely plays polite, and Shams Oud doesn't pretend to. Its warmth hits like direct sun, the kind you feel on skin rather than notice. Strong projection, long drydown.Shams Oud
