Carbon Sapphire Supercharged

Thankfully no barnyard. The longer this sits on my skin, the more I like it. It's not an overtly rose oud, which is a nice change from their regular oud stuff. It is very, very subtly sweet and extremely woody with some leather accord. Honestly this is what I always hoped an oud fragrance would smell like, but I've been unlucky with fecal barnyard trash ouds. The more this dries down, the better it gets. The less wood shavings/trees which just seems cheap to me. Very wearable fall/nighttime. There's something tart in the drydown, slightly sweet, tart, funk. Super smooth for sure. Musky

I absolutely love this scent. With that out the window, I am going to say it isn't worth the price for me. This scent is about as regal as I imagine royalty smelling. What I get is a mix of Dasman and Oud Sapphire. There's the sweet and fruitiness of Dasman and that woody ouddy and leather that Oud Sapphire brings to the table. I own Dasman, but OS isn't really something that I could justify paying for. Mix the two of those, and that's in the ballpark of what CSS gives me.

I can understand why some of the reviewers below don’t care for it. It’s challenging but I love it because it smells completely different from other Oud fragrances I own. It’s luxurious and smooth. There is a particular brightness that I enjoy. It has rose but, it’s not a typical rose Oud. The price is outrageous but, I had refund sooo 😂

Carbon Sapphire Supercharger is a challenging fragrance, not for the uninitiated. An animalic oud, pronounced leather, and a barrel of roses intertwine to create an intense, almost burning opening during the first thirty minutes. This initial sharpness gradually softens as the fragrance dries down, revealing patchouli, amber, and more subdued woody notes—precisely as the oud and rose begin to settle into balance. It is a demanding composition, not recommended for blind purchase. Striking, addictive, and highly seductive, it is best appreciated by noses already attuned to the nuances of high perfumery. A distinctive scent that, in my view, finds its ideal expression in the cooler seasons—particularly autumn and winter.

First of all, Carbon Sapphire Supercharged kind of shares some similarities with Oud Silk Mood & Oud Satin Mood to my nose after few minutes in. Its like "Oud Satin Mood" with a touch of animalic notes. So, to me - Carbon Sapphire Supercharged is giving Oud Silk Mood & Oud Satin Mood vibe. Secondly, The Oud is less pronounced as it's more like a lighter version of the OG, and it has this powdery-lemony rose which is quite prominent before it settles on faint leathery-woody notes and synthetic powdery-musk that smells like medicine. The drydown is more medicinal to my nose, it smells like one of those local pharmacy store to my nose as its extremely medicinal. Overall: 5/10 😏
