Oud Flamboyant

I love the GIVENCHY L'Atelier line and this one is one of the best. Very gourmand and there are definitely more notes in there than shown in the ingredients list. I can sense some vanilla, some beeswax, musk, amber, etc. In terms of Oud, as you know there is tons now out there and if a lighter non-dense, modern, Parisienne, feminine gourmand Oud is your thing, then GO FOR IT, for it does perform well. It's not a screamer but a charming creamer. Very sophisticated and just beautiful. 8/10. Very good (but could be better if more development). Leaning more towards the ladies.

An opulent scent of leather, resinous labdanum and oud that is really comforting to wear. As with most Western fragrances, the oud is synthetic but it was definitely satisfying. Projection was about 6ft (2 meters) for about 6 hours then it backed up to about an arms length for the other 6 hours. Can be worn for any occasion, day or night and can be worn year-round as well. This is really good, considering it was put out by Givenchy. Highly Recommended 9.5/10

I adore this perfume, unfortunately, it was either lost or stolen from me, I traveled once and I took it with me (it is great to that extent to choose it for a 7 days vacation) can't find it anywhere anymore, I don't think it has the off-putting sensation, in fact, it's a luxurious light oud perfume...great for special occasions, very luxurious perfume... go ahead give it a try, you won't regret it.

This is my favourite in the L'Atelier line. Off the top, you get a smoky but sweet incensy accord followed my a mild leather musky oud. I am very impressed. I was given a generous sample at NM over Christmas and certainly will be adding this to my collection in the near future. It performs amazingly. This smells like Interlude Man's gentle cousin. I live for perfumes like this! Thank-you Givenchy!

Oud Flamboyant is my favourite perfume. Incredibly simple and yet endlessly intoxicating. It has a gorgeous dry warmth which makes it suitable for summer or winter, day or night. It smells as if the juice at the bottom of your trashcan was made of gold.

What a great fragrance! One word: Smoky ! Smells like a BBQ in the best way possible-smoky, woody and even halloweeny So special

fantastic, I loved this one and definately want it.

This is so lovely! Beautiful gentle oud. Perfect.

I am happy to add my words of respect for this beautiful oud, which leaves behind so many similar, almost identical expensive niche ouds, making a strong but gentle statement. Oud Flamboyant smells very true to it's name, and it's ice and fire in a bottle, hot and fresh altogether. Not too sweet, not too strong, not too spicy - very well balanced and suitable for any occasion. It has it's prominent identity and never bores. I am so glad I received it as a gift, because in the other case I could have missed it easily with so many L'Atelier bottles on the shelf - to be true I didn't take this collection seriously until I tried Oud. A real gem!

Has a beeswax scent, for those that enjoy the scent of a handmade beeswax candle.

Usually it is very easy for me to like a fragrance, I can honestly say that my experience with Oud Flamboyant was nothing impressive, uneventful, plane, boring, disappointing and regretful. It's not like I dislike the fragrance, to me it feels unfinished. I do not understand how the hell someone in the world would mark this a green light. Oud Flamboyant is just another oud fragrance that is linear and boring. For the price it's just a mystery to me, you can buy any oud fragrance from the house of Mancera and it will be 10 times stronger, more interesting fragrance plus it will cost 50% cheaper. This was my experience with Givenchy Oud Flamboyant, you experience may differ. Sure it worth trying, not keeping for me though. Fragrance 2/10 Longevity 1/10 Price 1/10

Light leathery oud. Great composition.

Very sweet and animatic oud. Linear with a clear and unapologetic hint of mixed body secretions. As it is so linear, it’s perfect for layering and to give some added bass to weaker and more anonymous scents. Powerful, warm and heavy, it clings to the air around you.

this oud reminds me of the old market narrow allies where you could smell the smell of spices incense and oud emanating from different shops and ias much as i hate to say it.. its not the most prestigious high end refined ouds that you can also get from those same allies but from certain merchants who hide the special ouds for special customers..this oud reminds me of the lower end oud by products ..its not a horrible smell and its not the real deal for those who know the difference..oud is an acquired scent... when i first opened it it straight away tele ported me to a sea side old market in jedaha.. its one of the oldest market places where you can find everything for making perfumes from scratch ,even bakhour spices and resins and the smell of this givenchy teleported me straight to those narrow allies with the smell of incense resins and spices and the oud being offered to passers by to smell its a light woody almost clean smelling oud with leather and not necessarily chemical smelling but more like woody dry astringent smelling not the voluptuousness creamy full oud you get from Juliet has a gun and david yrman its a oud you get from mainstream Arabian companies like alrehab and alharamin the cheaper mass produced perfumes you can easily get from rassai not even their niche lines or mid range the cheapest oud sprays for ten us $ its a normal simple everyday plain oud wood leather light connotation that smells to me so rustic old fashioned more manly very dry crisp and nostalgic although its not my type of oud it can be used by non eastern noses and oud users alike for those who like their oud more woodsy cleaner and more versatile its good for blending and layering..but it doesn't smell rich to me it smells so common..i am writing all this and i really don't like to give negative reviews this is not a negative review on the contrary it could mean that this can work best for the western nose and that same smell is also appreciated from so many oud users who like their oud to be lighter and better suited for summer there is a back ground accord that some how forgives the rest of the medicoray in this perfume it almost as if you are smelling an agar wood chip being burnt and as you al know there are so many agar wood varieties depending on region so this particular on reminds me of the lighter in weight and colour oud chips from malasya or Indonesia i am not so sure but even oud chips have different scents when burnt and some i used to like and others give this smell which i don't like..the best ouds to my nose are Indian and kalakasy and even bourmian spicy woodsy a bit of sandalwood in the background almost the smell of burnt leather the light oud accords or heavy if u r not used to oud ..it is a strong oud connotation without the opulence y and creaminess and richness of oud..its a more white woody okay the smell of sharpening pencils remencient of vitiver .. if i didn't have th 20+ year experience in oud and its diversity maybe this review will be so different..dont get me wrong it is an oud to the minimum or maximum depending on how you perceive oud and whats your background in the accord..so to those who don't know anything its a straight up normal oud that was abundant in markets centuries ago its how oud and alcohol smelled in the first attempts of combining commercial end oud with woods spices and alcohol so to me this is part of the past maybe its a novelty now to find oud in this way in Arabian perfumers its considered something from the past and pretty cheap smelling they have evolved to higher techniques and blending strategies and newer compositions more European more modern more in tune with the new generation ..this particular perfume might be a great gift for an oud wearer whose a grandmother now for its nostalgic affair but i am sure the grand ma will still complain and say how do u get me such a cheap smelling oud ?don't u know any better?for 270 us $ for a 100 ml edp watered down oud this is not going to be tolerated by any grandma or mother from arabian heritage..you know how those women test their oud they put a drop on their sleeves of a silky material called an abaya its a black cloak and tie that part if after 3 days to a week the smell is still thee so strong and vibrant only then will they buy the oud ! i am sure this is not even going to last half a day and the smell is no where near the real thing..but i stil give credit to givenchy for trying to resurrect an almost lost scent in the Arabian tradition..a long lost memory of times past of oud .. for the non oud users...don't let this dictate your relationship to oud..you have to be patient with oud and try so many and unfortunately most of the ouds available to mainstream perfumeries are using the synthetic ones which either smell of burnt plastic or rubber or hey ..but its still worth a try you never know maybe you will like it for it dosnt have that rubbery scent it actually has the old scent of oud diluted in alcohol which denatures the oud to something so different .. can go on forever on this so just test it if u can that s the only way you could understand what i am trying to say this is so similar to many from arabian oud oudy mens perfumes which many men find appealing and use on a daily basis for work but for fraction of the price !

I'd been looking for fragrance at Sephora last week in order to use my Rouge discount. While browsing in the fragrance section I came across with this fragrance and since I'm not familiar with any Givenchy fragrance I decided to try this. The name catches my attention as well as the design of the bottle. It seems like, this line was ignored by frag community, haven't seen any hyping about this frag in youtube. My review is based on wearing this fragrance in the office for 2 days. The notes listed here is very simple but to my nose there are more notes on this frag. It opens with a very nice gourmandish accord, There is a slight vanilic and beewax or maybe honey in here that is well balance and not too sweet. The Oud here is more tamed, soft and bright not a dark or fecal -ish in nature, this is a very nice fragrance to try if you just started in oud scent. The labdanum here give a very nice leathery accord. I love this fragrance and I'm excited to try other offering from the L'Atelier line. Got few unsolicited complements while wearing this fragrance. Overall performance is 8.5/10 .

I was looking everywhere to try this one, and I finally got the chance to try it at Free Zone Market located King Khalid International Airport - Riyadh - KSA. It sure has a fancy name but that's all you get. at the beginning I didn't recognize any notes of anything. after a while I started to get very little notes of Oud. It is the same note you get from Sultan Al Oud Al-Rehab priced as 3 USD. It was sure very expensive for 825 SAR (220 USD). So if you are an Oud lover, save your money on this one an spend them on other ones (Armani Privé Oud Royal for example) My advice, save your money on Oud Flamboyant and get Sultan Al Oud for 0.02 of the price of this one. and by the way, Sultan Al Oud last way way longer than Oud Flamboyant.

Never heard of OUD perfumes before.. I just always go for the regular ones. But oh my!! I met a guy who had this perfume on our first meeting I swear I wasn't sure if I was falling for the guy or falling for his perfume.. lol. He smelt like an Arab prince yum! It's a really good smell. Perfect as a gift I would say. It just has this long lasting effect in your head.. I hugged him and I smelt him for days! It's a lovely one. Definitely buying it next. I don't care if it's for men

A client just brought this oud fragrance back from Paris for me. A very nice soft not in your face oud fragrance..a simple linear note but definitely a sublime oud for those who want to wear a subtle oud fragrance. The type of fragrance you wear to a formal dinner party.

Resinous woods... This is very much like "Interlude" by Amouage, Resinous woods, cypriol, and amberwood and eventually like a BBQ. Nice, but nothing special.

Great fragrance! Reminds me of Cartier’s Oud & Oud. Definitely within the same realm.

isnt it oud flamboyant rather than flambloyant?

Smells like cartier oud absolu
