What do reviewers say about Cape Heartache and Oud Wood?
Cape Heartache is not a safe blind buy. While strawberry-vanilla sounds gourmand, pine and hemlock are the true backbone. It's not a sweet, juicy fruit.Cape Heartache
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
