What do reviewers say about Alioth and Promise?
This is an oud that doesn't hide. It's animalic from the first spray, not skatole shock, but that warm, almost mentholated smoke that reviewers keep calling menthol-like freshness.Alioth
Promise is not a shy fragrance. The clove-spiced rose and smoky cypriol drydown make it bold, but the apple opening keeps it grounded. It rewards patience, revealing its depths slowly over hours.Promise
