    What do reviewers say about Sultane Noir Velours and Oud Pour Elle?

    Not a room-filler. Sultane Noir Velours lives close, warm, powdery, the kind of scent you find on your collar an hour later and wonder who was wearing it. Tonka and musk do the real work here.Sultane Noir Velours
    For those cautious about oud, the plum and citrus opening softens the landing considerably. By the time the agarwood emerges, it feels more like a warm embrace than a wall of smoke.Oud Pour Elle
