This one's a proper oud bomb, no two ways about it. If you're into that deep, animalic woody vibe, you'll love it. If not, it's probably going to hit you like a brick, so best sample first. Definitely a polarising scent, but with serious presence.
Grape Jewels is exactly what it says on the tin: a big, juicy, grape bomb. It's a sweet, gourmand-leaning scent that manages to be both familiar and a bit of a curveball. Definitely a conversation starter, but probably not for everyone.
