A beautiful take on the dark chocolate Mounds fragrance. The opening notes of Oud Orange are smoky and nutty, reminiscent of a pile of coconut husks smoldering in the ashes of a fire. Creamy musk and Bourbon vanilla lend a cocoa-tinted softness to the blend, tempering the abundance of coconut on the beach, and its sweetness. What emerges is a dry, woody vanilla with a luxurious touch, like a driftwood trunk gently rubbed with coconut liqueur. The oud note here isn't so much a dominant note as a calming influence on the others. Its austere woodiness transforms what could have been a full-blown tropical coconut delight into a sophisticated, woody vanilla. The intense Oud Orange is both a surprise and a triumph.
