    Real talk

    This is the oud that people who don't usually like oud end up wearing. The saffron-vanilla combination keeps it approachable for those curious about oud but hesitant to commit to resin-heavy.Vanilla & Oud
    This one doesn't play safe. Rum and crème brûlée dominate with leather and oud lurking underneath, giving the sweetness some actual backbone. Sweet without being naive, warm without being simple.December Vanilla
