What do reviewers say about Ode to Oud and Oajan?
The smoky-oud conversation is old. What's rare is hearing it stripped to four voices. Oregano, rosemary, oud, smoke, nothing else in the room. Either that's too austere or exactly right.Ode to Oud
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
