    What do reviewers say about Oud Provocant and Oud Ispahan?

    Oud Provocant leans into the contradiction: refined enough to wear to dinner, provocative enough to mean something. The saffron-grapefruit opening is deceptively civil.Oud Provocant
    Oud Ispahan is not for the faint of heart. The labdanum opening hits hard and the oud-rose drydown lingers for hours. If you want something subtle, look elsewhere.Oud Ispahan
