What do reviewers say about Oud & Rose and Mea Culpa?
Rose without the softness. The oud anchors it, smoky, woody, real. Strong sillage, full-day presence. This isn't rose for romantics. It's rose for people who mean it.Oud & Rose
The opening is confrontational. Almost harsh. Medicinal, some say. That's not a bug, it's the point. This fragrance doesn't ask permission to be itself.Mea Culpa
