The Haunting Blend

Which Should You Buy?
This is a monumental rose-oud that's stirred up a proper hornet's nest. You'll either adore its animalic, opulent depth or recoil from its unapologetic funk. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly iconic.
This one sparks debate like no other. You'll either love its refined, spicy oud and patchouli blend, or you'll be smelling crayons and farm animals. Definitely an acquired taste, so don't blind buy unless you're prepared for an olfactory adventure.
