What do reviewers say about Imperial Valley and Oud Wood?
Gissah chose an unexpected name and committed fully. This is not another Middle Eastern oud fragrance. The cool green notes keep the oud in check, and the leather in the base is genuinely refined.Imperial Valley
Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
