What do reviewers say about Oud Greatest and Empire?
The oud here isn't the showboat. It's the anchor. Saffron opens sharp, nutmeg warms through, then the oud arrives without fanfare. This is for someone who wants oud's depth without wearing a sign.Oud Greatest
Saffron and leather is an unusual pairing, most fragrances lean one direction or the other, but Empire tries to hold both. The result is a scent that asks for patience.Empire
