2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
King of Oud is an older scent from Wholly Kaw. I saw somewhere that it is a dupe of Creed Royal Oud. The scent has no dankness or barnyard smell to it. I've never smelled these notes on an oud scent, but recall that they can be there. Anyway, this one's a keeper. I'm off to try and find a decant of Royal Oud. I have a feeling this could be a real find for me. Great FLS today!
It's Veterans Day here in the US. I have worked with all branches of the US military except the Coast Guard during my career. This is a day where we thank those who have served for their service.
I got a sample of Oud 27 from Le Labo that definitely had some dankness to it. Didn’t surprise me too much given that it’s the result of fungus-infected wood. :)
It’s a nice scent though, especially for cooler weather. I could see myself enjoying it in a shave soap.
Oud oil is high prized in some parts of the world and is quite expensive. King of Oud from Wholly Kaw and Noble Otter Two Kings are two very popular oud-related scents. Rosa Oud from Eufros has a different personality from Two Kings, but Eufros can be hard to find.
