Oud Zhen
Areej le Doré (2021)

I found this to be a well-done sequel to the original and a solid offering from the house. I ultimately decided that I preferred my original bottle a bit more, but otherwise would have been happy to keep this one in my collection. If you enjoy Adam's oud creations, then this is very much worth trying.

The absolute best representation of burning agarwood chips that I’ve ever smelled, and I’m always searching! It has a deep drydown of a vanilla honey tobacco (although not a listed note), which makes it completely dynamic and non linear. There is myrrh and some dark chocolate aspects that give it just the balancing touch it needs to be a 5 star stunner!
