Molton Brown Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray Shakira Two or three sprays fromOudhwood and gold leaf a dry, almost dusty combination that leans closer to incense than perfume. Molton Brown holds it in check with subtle florals and a spine of cedar, so it reads understated rather than heavy. Unisex EDT, 100ml.
