Beauty And The Beast is a rose oud. A bit heavier and spicier base than most. This one reminds me a lot of Dixit & Zak Oud Rosa, with its spicy henna plant earthiness.

Wet, greenish rose with a soapy acidity. It starts familiar, but the drydown is a lot more earthy and dry. I prefer the opening myself. A nice one, but also not the most interesting one in the #ALD7 collection to me.
