It’s fall and I just added this back into my rotation. Rose-oud by way of rose-patchouli but with spiciness from saffron, and a bit of leathery birch tar. Starts off so strong, almost cough-inducing, but settles to a silk skin. I’ve smelled a few rose-oud combos and this one doesn’t really smell different but it brought rose-oud to Sephora which was new at the time. It’s not there anymore and I’m not surprised… people might have been too surprised by it, and it takes a few minutes to mellow out.
Intensely romantic, like the first days of a whirlwind romance.
Camphorous animalic oud settles into voluptuous rose which then melds with spicy patchouli.
Here’s a full video review of it! Enjoy!
