Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and beast-mode sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, as it's far too potent. However, its bold and mysterious character is perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event, and it works for casual evening wear when you want to stand out.

About

Exotic Oud explodes with a juicy, tropical burst of passionfruit and raspberry, quickly deepening into a complex heart of smoky incense and subtle rose. The dry down unveils a rich, leathery oud, sweetened by vanilla and grounded by a hint of coffee, creating a profound, enduring aroma that shifts and evolves on the skin.
