What do reviewers say about Orris Oud and Chergui?
This one splits the room. Some find the iris too powdery, others say the oud swings too dark. That's the point. Two of perfumery's heaviest hitters doing exactly what they do.Orris Oud
If you want the Moroccan desert in a bottle, this is it. Tobacco, honey, and incense create something rugged yet sweet. Not for those who prefer clean, aquatic fragrances.Chergui
