Real talk
Rosewood has an edge, the oud arrives faster and sharper than expected, and that green geranium doesn't fade politely. But that's the point. This isn't a rose fragrance pretending to be subtle.Rosewood
An oud for people who think they don't like oud. It keeps the resinous depth but strips the heaviness, Bulgarian rose lifts the whole composition into something unexpectedly clean. Controversial take?Agarwoud
