What do reviewers say about Rude Oud and Alexandria II?
Rude Oud does exactly what the name promises. The raspberry and saffron opening is playful, the leather and rose heart is sophisticated, and the oud drydown is pure substance.Rude Oud
The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
