    What do reviewers say about Oud Violet Intense and The Hope?

    Oud Violet Intense takes its name from the tonka drydown, not from any violet in the formula. The tonka and amber don't soften the oud, they let it show what it looks like when it's confident enough.Oud Violet Intense
    The warm spice here isn't playing it safe. Cinnamon, cloves, myrrh, and oud, it's the kind of composition that says something. The kind you either get or you don't.The Hope
