“The juicy citrus opening is unbelievably vivid and crystal clear, and its combination with the florals is sublime. The effect is so smooth it is almost creamy. Then, almost before you know it, the spotlight is shifts onto a clean, incensed oud. The restraint in this blend is masterful, as the oud-rose-saffron combination could have been loud, statement-making, and attention-grabbing, but the final composition is so harmonious that even my oud-averse wife gave it a thumbs up. Some fragrances are marketed with phrases like "you'll love this if you love ____" but I think this blend has a soft beauty that is undeniable no matter your preference.”
