What do reviewers say about Faux Semblant and Oud Wood?
The honey-orange blossom heart is lush, almost confectionery, but then the oud-sandalwood base arrives and remembers it has somewhere to be. It's that Givenchy move: pretty on the surface.Faux Semblant
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
