What do reviewers say about Promise and Oud in White?
Promise is not a shy fragrance. The clove-spiced rose and smoky cypriol drydown make it bold, but the apple opening keeps it grounded. It rewards patience, revealing its depths slowly over hours.Promise
Most oud fragrances want you to know it. This one hides the oud until the end, lets jasmine and fruit do the talking first. The gamble? Whether you want an oud that introduces itself politely.Oud in White
