What do reviewers say about Metal Absolu and Oud Wood?
This is cedarwood that hums instead of shouts. The aldehydes give it a cool, almost clinical edge, that sharp green tea accord that arrives mid-drydown keeps things interesting.Metal Absolu
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
