    Two hours into wearing it, the oud revealed itself and I stopped everything I was doing. This version earns the 2.0 name because it finally has the dark wood depth the original lacked.Histoire d’Amour 2.0
    If you want people to know you are wearing perfume, Xplicit Vanilla will make that happen. The vanilla is unapologetic, the oud adds gravitas, and the drydown wraps everything in warmth.Xplicit Vanilla
