Oud Amour

I cannot praise this enough! Simply one of the most amazing, rich and pleasing fragrances I have in my collection. As far as I know they have ceased making Oud Amour! I picked up the last few from their website at discount so will have to use it sparingly. Compliments galore on this also! It’s so disappointing that it has been discontinued because this is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Absolutely one of my best fragrances. I love the scent so much that I'm willing to only pick this one fragrance if one day I could only take one with me. This is coming from someone who also owns many niche bottles.

PLEASEEEEE BRING THIS BACK A&F PLEASEEE!! At least tell us who composed it for you so we can find substitutes of it.

Probably the worst one in the line, and also the one that I was most excited about. The opening is extremely sweet (like marshmallows), and very musky (sharp, synthetic). It becomes a little more floral, but still cloying and unbalanced. The tea peeks in timidly, as if it were trying to bring things into balance, but is so hard to find that I would not have noticed it if I hadn't seen it as a listed note. It takes a while for the oud to come in, and when it does it's fairly restrained and blends with the other notes. In the drydown it's not too bad, a nice smell and fairly well balanced. Unfortunately, it's an EDC and by this point it's so faint that it hardly matters.

This is a linear one trick pony, but man is that trick spectacular! Hypnotizing and alluring. I find this to be a very unique accord. The sweet Hortensia mixed with a slightly tangy note and it becomes billowy and comforting. It draws people in, and then holds them in a loose grip that promises all those sweet little nothing's we love to hear. UNFORTUNATELY, this has become a true unicorn, nearly impossible to track down. The Fierce Oud Amour smells absolutely nothing like this gem. Don't bother. Should you stumble across this mythical beast, grab it and experience the wonder for yourself.
