Gimme that…sweet strong oude we all love and…many many other resins which are all part of the ritual. Oude comes from a tree usually found in India. Very expensive and one of the most exclusive elements in a perfume, oude is one of the benchmark ingredients that every perfumer needs to learn to tame and use efficiently; and one that every serious perfume wearer needs to learn about and appreciate. On top of the oude are vetiver, patchouli, frankincense and moar! This one was constructed to be as heavy and dark and filled with resins as could be stuffed into a bottle. Extremely dense and very lovely.
