What do reviewers say about John Varvatos Oud and Oud Wood?
Oud and ambergris together is a statement. The resinous depth of the wood, lifted by something salty and sweet. Some find it confrontational. Those who stay, stay long.John Varvatos Oud
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
