02 · Heart

These precious ingredients exude an ancient grandeur and mystique, infusing the composition with an undeniable strength and a velvety, smoky charm. The heart notes unfold with a regal intensity, establishing its oriental woody identity.

This luxurious foundation provides remarkable longevity, allowing the distinguished aura of Oud Is Great to gracefully accompany you throughout the day and into the night. It leaves a memorable, rich trail, a testament to its enduring sophistication and the wearer's commanding allure.
