What do reviewers say about The Oud Affair and Musc Ravageur?
Not a linear Oud fragrance. The Ginger and Honey dominate the first hour, and the Tobacco is subtler than expected. If you want Oud as the star, look elsewhere.The Oud Affair
Some fragrances ask permission. This one doesn't. The animalic musk is the whole argument, if that's what stops you, you weren't the intended audience anyway.Musc Ravageur
