Reviews →

Oud Altius opens with sharp cinnamon, crushed cardamom, and tart raspberry before settling into a dense heart of red rose, saffron, and olibanum. The base settles on dark leather, agarwood, and sandalwood that cling to skin for hours. It suits cold winter evenings, leather jackets, and crisp night air.
