The take
What works
- ●Damask rose and oud dusted with praline and clove
- ●Elegant and seductive, with a richer build than most Jo Malone
- ●Performs well above the house's usual lightness
Trade-offs
- ●Linear: the rose-oud you smell first is the rose-oud you get
- ●The oud is soft; this is rose-first, not an oud-head's oud
