What do reviewers say about Oud Noir Intense and Carved Oud?
Some ouds announce themselves like a door slammed. This one enters through the side, confident and unhurried. The saffron-rose heart gives it a quality that keeps it from feeling heavy.Oud Noir Intense
If you want a quiet, inoffensive oud, look elsewhere. Carved Oud announces itself and stays. The cardamom-cypress opening hits hard, but the real story is that labdanum in the drydown actually.Carved Oud
