Real talk
The oud is here, but it arrived in good company. Sweet and powdery from the heliotrope, warmed by Madagascan clove, this is an oud for people who want to like oud but find the real thing a bit much.Black Oud
Oud without compromise. No softening, no hedging, just the resinous, animalic depth of the real thing. For those who want oud the way it grows: bold, a little rough, and impossible to ignore.Oud Imperial
