Oud Vendome
Saffron and ginger start things off sharp and spiced, then cedar and incense bring the smoke in. Oud and musk hold a dark, resinous drydown with almost no sweetness.
Faces Of Francis
Aldehydes and saffron give a metallic start, then pistachio and driftwood take over the heart. Oud, cypriol, ambergris and vetiver close on a very dry base, smoky and with nothing sweet left in it.
