    What do reviewers say about Alexandria II and I Was Here?

    The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
    A quiet composition that earns its keep. Lavender opens soft, rosewood adds warmth, and the oud grounds everything without dominating the room. The overall presence feels intimate rather than.I Was Here
