What do reviewers say about Sapphire and Oud Wood?
Sapphire does not play it safe. The rum and blackcurrant opening feels almost like a cocktail, while the frankincense in the heart keeps things interesting long after most fragrances have flattened.Sapphire
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
