Desert Oud & Urban Sovereign

Both list vanilla and tonka bean, which gives the two layers a shared thread rather than two competing ideas. Urban Sovereign adds a floral & romantic side through rose and osmanthus, which Desert Oud does not list.

A scent-profile suggestion based on recorded notes and how they typically behave, not a combination Beautys has tested on skin. Try it on your wrists first.

What it may smell like

On paper, expect an opening of cardamom, sichuan pepper and apple that settles towards vanilla, vetiver and tonka bean. How it develops depends on your skin, the number of sprays and the weather.

How to apply

Apply Desert Oud first, as the richer base, to pulse points. Let it settle for a minute, then add one or two sprays of Urban Sovereign over the top. Start with fewer sprays than you would wear of one perfume: two extraits together can be intense.
