Black Aoud

Rose and oud head-on, with no transition and nothing to soften them. One of the perfumes that made oud known in Europe.

Arabesque

Saffron and pepper sharpen an opening of black currant and bergamot, before rose and jasmine take over the heart. Oud, patchouli and moss seal it dry and almost sombre.
