What do reviewers say about Private Code and Oajan?
Dates and plum over leather and oud isn't a quiet conversation. It's the kind of fragrance that arrives before you do, a statement made by someone who already knows what they want.Private Code
Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
