Pomegranoudh

On first sniff, I wasn't sure I would like this. I have never really been a fan of fruity scents before, but I decided to give this a try as I have seen some favorable stuff on Reddit and the forums on here about it as well. My first introduction to fruity ouds was Azzure Oud by French Avenue, a clone brand, and it was absolute garbage, so I was hesitant to try another one, but wow, I am very glad I did. Pomegranate has not really been my thing either in the past, but this is spectacular. The pomegranate smells like a dark and rich fruit brimming with gothic power; it evokes the colors of red and black to me with a mysterious aura. The oud accompanies the mysterious fruity scent as well, creating almost a vibe of an old wooden estate speckled with the sweet blood of a vampire's last meal. I would consider this perfume a wonderful piece of art, one that transports you to a place and time of which you have not visited before, like a good work of art should.

I rate this as one of their best sellers. If you want a deep, fruity offering, this is it. The oud here is not overpowering; it lurks in the shadows while the fruit offers light. It's an oud that sways away from the conventional Middle Eastern style, with its own modern twist, a wearable oud, one that makes me excited for the ladies to try. Its dry-down carries a sophisticated velvety decadence, and there's luxurious warmth from the vanilla-amber blend. If Passionfroudh was the Yin(bright froudie), Pomegranoudh is the yang (sensuality behind the shadows).

Fell in love with Passionfroudh and been using it constantly... even though I have +/- 100 frags. So wanted something in the same line to just switch it up a little and went to test this one. Well instantly bought it 😅. Not directly comparable but in the same direction. Opens as a smoky cherry to my overall perception, and later in the drydown a more sweet wine. But really standoud and different. Love the direction fugazzi took and hope they keep far away from the boring minimalistic scents they started with, just my take

Finally some good fucking food from this house... Tart pomegranate juice on the opening turning to a sweet high quality oud. Makes me so satisfied because oud is so complex it’s an entire fragrance in itself on its own. The oud here has all the complexity you need: earthy, sweet, damp, resinous, musky. Adding a similarly complex fruit note is just genius, simply beautiful. Projected loudly for 7 hours and now is a lingering fruity vanilla skin-scent. So far orange crush and pomegranoudh are my favorite from fugazzi.

GORGEOUS. opens a tad plasticky but develops into a rich, deep and warm tropical oudh. might have to pull the trigger on a full bottle going off of the sample, and i'm not usually a fan of oudhs either, longevity is ludicrous as well, projects for a good couple hours too, 9/10 (opening dampens things ever so slightly). FAB!
