    Real talk

    There's a specific honey note here, unfiltered, almost waxy, that you don't find in many fragrances. Add the cumin and this stops being polite. If you've been curious about resin-heavy night scents,.Absolue Pour le Soir
    This is for people who thought they didn't like oud. The cacao doesn't sweeten it, it tempers it, the way you temper chocolate in cooking. Dark, slightly bitter.Oudh Lacquer
