What do reviewers say about Alter Ego 786 and Oud Wood?
A sweet opening that reveals depth underneath. Then the oud and leather arrive, smoky and animalic. The sillage stays close, intimate rather than announcing itself.Alter Ego 786
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
