Real talk
The carrot absolute is the tell. Sweet and slightly vegetable, it tempers the saffron's bitterness into something almost honeyed. If you've dismissed orientals as too heavy.Ardent Oud
Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
