BTSO does not disappoint, as Unholy Oud recapitulates some of the key markers of the oud trend that have defined the last decade. A lesson learned: the agarwood note is precisely sculptured with the aid of synthetics, which impart their own distinct characteristics. An impact perceived at a distance and from a position of safety, such tremendous power is contained within the confines of this fragrance. A properly gnarly Laotian oud note extends its claws, its palms on an earthy floor of patchouli and incense, until it is worked at by a tender rose note, which serve only to emphasise its severity. The fragrance begins as a tumultuous cascade of woody impressions, creating a mesmerising tapestry. With time, these notes line up, softening to form a singular woody accord. Although the fragrance is transparent like glass, thanks to a rosewood note that redoubles the faintly rosy character of Unholy Oud, it is a significant fragrance, always defined by its robust embrace.
