About the fragrance: Black Aoud is a dramatic fragrance – but dont confuse that with overly strong. Its medium-bodied and very rich, a bubbling potion of velvety rose and the old leather feel of labdanum, mixed with mystical oud tree oils. Its a rare journey somewhere where youve probably never been and will beg to return to… all it takes is a little whiff of this amazing, rare elixir. If you seek a deeply incensed rose and sandalwood fragrance, one that would have scented the brightly dyed pillows of a harem, you need look no further.
