In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotKhashab is a dry, resin-rich woody perfume built around oud, olibanum, and other tree-derived materials.

Best for wearers who enjoy natural-smelling woods over florals…
Reviews →NOOUD by Baruti is a bold unisex scent that mimics burning bukhour without using any actual agarwood. Spyros Drosopoulos crafted this fragrance in 2016 to offer a dry, intensely smoky, and earthy profile. It functions as a potent option for cold weather wear, wrapping the user in a dense, dark cloud of resinous warmth…
