What do reviewers say about Aksum and Oud?
This is raw, unpolished oud, not the sanitized kind you'll find in every mall counter. There's costus and goat hair tincture doing the heavy lifting, and they'll either pull you in or make you reach.Aksum
There's a version of oud that's all drama and darkness. This isn't it. Aurélien Guichard built something leaner, more resin than richness, more fir than sweetness.Oud
