    Real talk

    60% oud usually means barnyard. This one doesn't. Marius Pană custom-distilled the Assam agarwood to stay sweet, resinous, clean. The 13-month Kashmiri musk maceration does the rest.Sunset in Assam
    This one doesn't whisper. The animalic oud walks in like it owns the room, and the coffee grounds the whole thing in something dark and honest. If you've been curious about real oud.Lao Oud
