What do reviewers say about Gold I and Oud Ispahan?
Rich oud with white flowers and vanilla is a crowded lane. What sets Gold I apart is the way it holds that tension without tipping over. Sweet enough to invite, animalic enough to mean it.Gold I
Oud Ispahan is not for the faint of heart. The labdanum opening hits hard and the oud-rose drydown lingers for hours. If you want something subtle, look elsewhere.Oud Ispahan
