I've always been a fan of Oud scents and while this doesn't contain Oud, it reminds me of that sweet, grounding earthiness that I love. It gives me soft and spicy at the same time without being too sugary sweet. Even though the bold is smokier, it's still not overbearing. I've yet to have anyone comment on it being too much. If they made other products with this scent I would buy them all! Candles please!!!!
