    Real talk

    This is not a sunshine-and-sand fragrance. It leans hard into the tense, pressurized side of marine, with myrtle liqueur and ambergris giving it an almost astringent edge that will divide opinion.Black Sea
    Oud Mafia doesn't whisper. The frankincense smoke and the oud depth arrive together and refuse to leave. It's the kind of composition that either becomes your signature or you spray once and put it.Oud Mafia
