What do reviewers say about L'Oudh and Encre Noire?
The oud here doesn't ask permission. It's smoky, resinous, and unapologetic. Some will find it too much, while those who love it, love it completely. There's no middle ground with this one.L'Oudh
This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
