What do reviewers say about Oud Provocant and Sahraa?
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
The rose-oud combination in Sahraa sidesteps excessive sweetness. The saffron and black pepper create an immediate spiciness that prevents the florals from becoming precious.Sahraa
