Aouda

Aouda is a mysteriously delicious fragrance... I went to the Post Office today and surprisingly the Lady smelled me from across the Window and said WOW you smell awesome and then I went shopping and 2 more people stopped to ask what are you wearing?. Aouda' that was It! I'm on fire! This was a blind buy worth getting and I must admit I was surprised on my first time wearing it, It smells smooth but then it warms up "Wow" surprise Aouda...I was mesmerized on how it enveloped on my skin... It Smells like sweet Incense, resins, Tolu balsam and The Geranium and Rose on point its like being covered by Brown Sugar n Honey melting on your Body. its Warm and exotic 'Sex in a bottle!

A woody, spicy, resinous scent with no perceptible oud note. Initially there are some floral notes that seem more “masculine” than “feminine”, and then there’s the note that I can only describe as “golden” that’s produced by the combination of geranium and patchouli. That note is loud, it’s bright, and it’s the olfactory equivalent of a jazz trumpet. Aouda has this note at first, and it may be off-putting to some, but I like it. As it dries down it mellows, becoming more woody. After about 3 hours it’s just a slightly sweet shadow of the opening notes. I was not particularly impressed by Aouda, especially trying the other perfumes in this series, several of which are quite good.

Perhaps it was a mistake to wear this in the spring, because I think the longevity may have suffered, but Aouda is still an intriguing scent. I DO detect the slightest hint of oud, more like an accent than a dominant note. I also smell the bitter chocolate which others have detected, combined with the geranium. This is not an awfully sweet scent, even with the blend of notes which somehow becomes cacao.It is very fresh in a pleasantly woodsy way. I do want to buy a bottle and try it in chillier weather, or perhaps if I overspray I can achieve a longer-lasting effect. Aouda is a sexy scent in a non-threatening way.

قد تلمح مجموعة من الخطوط العطرية في العطر ، لكن بالنسبة لي العطر يشبه وبنسبة لا تقل عن ثمانين بالمئة عطر شهرة من الرصاصي ، مع الفرق أن شهرة بربع الثمن وأقوى بمراحل بالأداء ، تجربة مخيبة للأمل ولا تستحق !!

A Clinique Elixir smell-alike. All the major elements of the familiar harmony can be found here. A retro rose (perhaps even arabic), contrasted by an agrestic chamomile with pronounced hay tones, rules supreme supported by a base of patchouli. A vintage violet-powder vibe creates a chill haze like incense smoke that smooths out the composition. Some animalic funk that lurks in the ambery heart perhaps can be called an oud note by some but not by me. The overall impression is extremely retro but pleasant and perhaps somewhat provocative for today's standards. I'm a man who appreciates Elixir very much and this is a variation I can wear as I find it more unisex.
