    This is oud for people who think they don't like oud. Philly & Phill softens the beast with enough fruit and vanilla to make it approachable, but the resinous warmth underneath is real.Date Me In Downtown
    There's a specific type of sweetness in Sensual that doesn't apologize for itself. The caramel and vanilla create something gourmand, but the saffron and cloves add complexity. It's warm.Sensual
