    Real talk

    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
    This is not a loud fragrance. The opening barks, but within minutes it settles into something composed and confident. Leather and oud dominate the drydown, with tonka bean softening the edges.Gentle King
