Emerald Oud

Oh wow this is magnificent! The third fragrance I've tried from this house and it's a another absolute knockout. I bought White Leather on the spot I was so taken by it and if I had the money I may have bought this one too. My mind has been opened up to new possibilities and note combinations with these Oud fragrances and this one is a total surprise. Opens with an amazingly real and long lasting fruity, bergamot and an overwhelmingly rich amber, Oud and sweet vanilla. The saffron is and pink pepper combine to make an amazingly rich and complex scent which somehow evokes a green shimmering emerald. (Maybe that's my imagination going too far) Then amazingly the white floral neroli makes an appearance as a basenote in the long neroli/Oud/musky dry down. Odd I never noticed the neroli until after a few hours and smells totally amazing in the context of this fragrance. Brilliant fragrance! Couldn't stop smelling myself Emerald Is a powerful Oud which to me is totally unisex even though it's on here as a female fragrance. Not strictly a white floral fragrance but this is definitely the best neroli scent I've ever sniffed.

I'm trying to restrain myself reviewing this perfume but my goodness, it is beautiful! The bottle,the blend,the longevity,the sillage. I bombarded the sales rep in Selfridges with questions but I knew I would get this. Blue diamond and ruby oud are also good but this was a standout for me. Oud has taken over the perfume world now and this is a nicely done one. I just wonder if men are able to wear this. If any male has used this or knows someone who has, please share. The sales rep said suited and kaftaned men buy this but it's her job to sell a product so I can't really take her word for it on that... Brilliant brilliant oud,I can't commend it enough. Well worth the money.

@ Glamdoc yes it is an amazing fragrance. I already bought 2 times this. Forst time i have found the creator, Bella, in manchester when she launched these 3 babies and i had to have one on the shelf. :) it is amazing and the sales person said the truth... it is suitable for men too. There is no sex in perfumes, only the smell of fear ! :)

I bought this fragrance at Selfridges in London, 2015. Smells like oud -infused spearmint Dentyne gum. I never reach for it. Would not buy again.
