    Real talk

    Some fragrances invite. Surplus confronts, and that's precisely the point. If conceptual art perfume makes your pulse quicken, the gap between what you're imagining and what actually hits your skin.Surplus
    Oud 27 isn't for those who want their fragrances to whisper. The animalic core, civet, oud, musk, creates a presence that feels raw and alive, almost feral.Oud 27
