What do reviewers say about Black Citrus and Oud Wood?
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one breathes. The smoke in the drydown is the twist that keeps it from being just another citrus, and it lingers close, intimate rather than projecting.Black Citrus
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
