Oud fragrances have a tendency to overpower. Not this one. Part of the new Maison Lancôme Fragrance Collection of premium perfumes, L'Autre Oud contrasts potent oud wood with delicate rose with a beautiful result -- spicy yet soft.
We never would have expected to love the scent of soybeans, but we simply swooned for this new flanker to B. Balenciaga. This dark, fruity/woody elixir features notes of edamame, green tea, violet leaves, cedar, mahogany and Queen of the Night.
This isn't your stereotypical, wispy floral; this perfume has got a serious backbone. Middle notes of violet and damascena rose are toughened up by ebony woods, leather and a touch of saffron.
