Oud Beyond the Wall Ministry of Oud 2025

Immediately hit in the face with a black tea, iris and a slightly powdery cardamom. This is BDK’s Gris Charnel DNA entirely. On paper, OBtW lacks some of the softer laconic accords that direct people to a milky chai accord from this particular DNA. My thoughts on this are similar to my thoughts on Lataffa’s Liam Grey, save for the fact that Lataffa’s version is better executed. This isn’t a groundbreaking scent, nor is it a groundbreaking execution of that tea/iris/cardamom DNA. I think this scent could invite people to love fragrance but I don’t think it’ll wow fragrance heads. 3/5
