About

Bittersweet Oud opens with a sharp, tangy burst of bitter orange, almost like slicing into a fruit that's just a touch past its prime. Beneath this is an earthy depth, with a whisper of sandalwood that provides a creamy foundation, but the oud-expected to be bold-takes a back seat here. As it settles, there's an unsettling muskiness that mingles with the citrus, creating an experience that tips toward the funky rather than the elegant. The dry down offers a muted woody echo, leaving a somewhat flat impression, lacking the promised allure of its namesake.
