The take

What works

●Dark-vanilla-oud combo that drops temperatures in cold weather
●Performance is absurd — wear it once, smell it on the jacket all week
●Genuinely cozy — the rare oud that doesn't feel like a costume

Trade-offs

●Opening is medicinal-cherry — you have to ride out the first 15 minutes
●Can cross from cozy to cloying in tight rooms
