Oud Ulya is a tad more daring in comparison to the other releases from it’s line, which were in my opinion on the very tame and safe side (I have not tried the Harrods exclusive Leather Sadah). That being said, it’s still easily wearable for most people. Animalic oud assam that can overpower one in the opening, but sweetened so much that it changes quickly. You get a slightly fecal, chocolately wood, with a fiery, charred quality (birch) and a leathery tinge. It smells thick; molasses-like with woody and berry fruitiness and much more subtle drydown.
