What do reviewers say about Smoke and Mirrors and The Oud Affair?
The opening has an herbal sharpness to it, a green quality that quickly settles. Then the sweetness arrives, warm and golden. Myrrh gives it a slightly medicinal quality. That's the tell.Smoke and Mirrors
Not a linear Oud fragrance. The Ginger and Honey dominate the first hour, and the Tobacco is subtler than expected. If you want Oud as the star, look elsewhere.The Oud Affair
