Notorious Oud
EDPUnisex
The Story
Notorious Oud is a bold, smoky take on oud that feels like a night out in a leather jacket. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a rich heart of tobacco and rose. The base is a deep, resinous blend of oud, labdanum, and castoreum that lasts for hours. This is a fragrance for those who want to make a statement without shouting.
