Why We Carry This

Another Oud is the Juliette Has a Gun house at its best: a provocation that turns out to be genuinely good. The rose-oud construction is lighter than the name suggests, and the vanilla-amber softening gives the composition an accessibility that most oud fragrances sacrifice for gravitas. Romano Ricci refusing to take himself too seriously while making something worth taking seriously.

Romano Ricci named this one with his characteristic irreverence: Another Oud, because the market had plenty, and this one would be different. It is. The rose-oud combination at the composition's core is handled with a lightness that Middle Eastern oud traditions rarely permit, the oud present and resinous but never aggressive. Amber and vanilla soften the heart into something that wears closer to skin than a standard oud composition would, leather threading through the drydown with a quality that is more suggestion than material. The humor is in the name. The fragrance earns it.
