    Real talk

    This isn't an osmanthus perfume with a whisper of oud. It's an oud perfume that happens to smell like flowers. The oud is the spine here, dark, resinous, the thing that holds everything else in place.Oudh Osmanthus
    Most citrus fragrances play it safe. Gorse leans into something stranger, the actual botanical, furze, not just 'green notes.' Coconut, but not in a tropical-drink way. More the memory of it.Gorse
