Description
UNHOLY OUD by BORNTOSTANDOUT® is a magnetic fusion of fresh citrus, fiery spices, and sensuous florals entwined with a provocative oud accord. Designed for those who revel in the unexpected, its opening of bergamot, lemon, and incense gives way to opulent rose and Laotian oud, creating an enigma that is both rich and wearable. The dry-down enfolds the skin in plush vanilla, patchouli, tonka bean, sandalwood, and heliotrope, summoning both comfort and intrigue. Bold yet never heavy-handed, UNHOLY OUD stands as a rebellious statement in modern perfumery.
