True Oud

This line is so underrated; I might say the price is really justified. For starters, it has real Oud, Thai Oud. So it's not a question of whether it does or does not have it—this is a fact. I mention this because with "oud" fragrances, the community is always trying to solve this question. Secondly, the bottle is one of the most architecturally impressive bottles I've owned. There is significant design effort behind it. And it smells so clean. Next, from this line, I will buy either Stallion Leather or Nightfall Patchouli.

So far the first and only one from this line of CH I've tried. This is really good! Very oudy right from the get-go; woody and smooth oud. I don't get the skanky-ness at all as someone else mentioned before. In fact, Thai oud is known to be of the more woody kind. The oud blends very smell with the saffron and floral notes to create a smooth and woody sensation. Would I pay the retail price for this though? Probably not, but at half retail or so I'd say it could be worth it.

What an oud saffron master class! wearable, a very unique experience, it lasts & projects. this is magic from opening to dry-down, heavy on the akigalawood & ambrofix effect here is leaning leathery & woody, accompanied with a sexy chypre dry-down, resembles a little dry-down of aventus. the oud here reminds me of the oud used in guerlain oud essentiel in the genre of oud/saffron/frankincense. amazing stuff! ;-)

Indeed True Oud... but i can't define which origin! i don't think it's Thai oud! but i guess the settle down rises up the saffron, myrrh, and sweet freesia sandalwood. It begun very True Oud but settles to woody yet bits of sweet. This blend is quite pretty for those who loves true oud rather than the none oud blends that it is marketed as oud. Beautiful.

To me this is an interesting fragrance, because it's strong in olive scent, and then oud, osmanthus, jasmine and patchouli, I never own and smell an olive perfume before, I am so glad it's in my collection True Oud is 8.5/10
