doesn't nuavia rossa have oud in it?
Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

I know that high quality Laotian Oud it's one of the most expensive ingredients in the world and more expensive than Gold per ounce but there are some agarwood trees being grown in India for example that is more reasonable to buy and Oud is so powerful in its natural state you'd only need to use a little and then add other scents as top and middle notes as the Oud would still come out nicely as a basenote.
King of Oud is pleasant and sweet but the synthetic Oud is used for sure. Same goes for Stirling Agar , AOS Oud and Tuscan Oud to name a few I've tried.
Not trying to be a fragrance snob but I believe it can be done and still be somewhat sensibly priced. Just had this discussion with some of my Shaving brothers on this subject last week. So had to put my 2 cents in for whatever that is worth.
