Iconic

It kind of smells like balloons. The lemon is candied and the oud gives it a rubbery medicinal smell in the opening that is a lot like balloons and a dentists office. The amber is a bit of a higher pitch in the fragrance which adds to the candied lemon smell. Combined with the bitterness of the oud. It was a blind buy, its fun. I like it. The lemon is way more present than I expected. The whole fragrance is actually a lot brighter than I thought it would be. Its nice. I was expecting more of a dark winter oud smell but the lemon uplifts the tone of the fragrance massively. Not sure how long its going to last on my skin. Editing to add i just wore this again for the first time in about 6 weeks (06/08/26, purchased and reviewed in may) and it has completely changed. Maybe it was freshly bottled. The balloon oud smell is almost entirely gone and now it smells like a very ambery woody lemon syrup. Still the same vague smell but that medicinal dentists office oud smell is almost entirely gone and I have a new appreciation for the perfume. Its a lot better. Maybe the bottle I purchased was brand new and the fragrance needed some time and some air to settle in. It has significantly improved
