    This is for people who thought they didn't like oud. The cacao doesn't sweeten it, it tempers it, the way you temper chocolate in cooking. Dark, slightly bitter.Oudh Lacquer
    There's a specific honey note here, unfiltered, almost waxy, that you don't find in many fragrances. Add the cumin and this stops being polite. If you've been curious about resin-heavy night scents,.Absolue Pour le Soir
