What do reviewers say about Orange Bitters and Bittersweet Oud?
The name says bitter. The reality is something more complicated, bright citrus that doesn't stay bright, a heart that slowly deepens into warmth. If you're after something that changes on your skin.Orange Bitters
Bitter orange makes the first move. Then the oud arrives, but it's surprisingly soft, almost creamy. This is oud for people who don't usually go for oud.Bittersweet Oud
