Oud Gourmand, an embrace of intense contrasts

Why can an embrace be so intense? A lot of things can be transmitted through an embrace between two bodies: pleasure, sensuality but also tenderness and sweetness. That’s what happens when the woody notes of Oud combine with the sweet nuance of Vanilla Bourbon, Coconut and Caramel.
