Oud Blend by Viali offers a budget-friendly route into dark woody scents. It focuses on warm spices like cardamom and pepper before settling into a dry sandalwood and amber finish. This unisex blend works best in cold weather when you want a dry woodiness that sits close to the skin without overwhelming a room.
