Synthetic sharp oud settles into dusty frankincense and rice.
Cypriol, saffron and a sharp, synthetic feeling oud accord open loud and clean before frankincense, orange blossom and rice pull it toward something dusty and temple like. Sandalwood and patchouli close the drydown warm but still oddly clean for an oud fragrance.

KSI Take: The clean, almost antiseptic take on oud is polarizing, some testers compare the opening to nail polish remover or an old fashioned hair salon, and it is not the dark, animalic oud style the name might suggest. Wear it when you want an unconventional, brighter version of oud rather than a traditional one, since reviewers describe it as leaning feminine regardless of the unisex label.
