Royal Oud

Ooo, my goodness , this here " Royal Oud " a perfect scentual on me. Korloff is not a middle of the road brand { with some high end niche scents in the hundreds of dollars } however they do have in my opinion some rather unique scentuals at a rather decent price $30.00 ~ $60.00 ~ I have 3 so far , before going top tier price wise .This " Royal Oud " is where the middle ends, this should be top tier all the way . I was looking at something else and Korloff popped up , it has been in my want " list " for at least a year or so . I came here looked at the notes again and " went in " blind " I am getting all the woody scents in a mix of rose , a tad of vanilla { not overwhelming } a bit of patchouli and musk . I love this , it is well done from first spritz , I got no alcohol at ta'll , no cloying waft of a scent that made me choke up . It is what you spritz . This is the best , at this price point , Korloff did this right. I'm so " jazzed " I can't say enough I'm so in " awe " . I placed this on after bath today , it took one on wrist {s} and a spritz on cleavage and neck , I've done up too 6 spritzes { so I can enjoy all day } As far as longevity / sillage I don't care , I'll spritz again and again if need be . I only get a bit miffed if I pay for a high end brand and projection and lasting power are weak , so is not worth the price . I might have to wear this a few days just to please myself ~ ///=^} ~ I'm looking into more from brand , for sure . I got this under $30.00 . I love scents so much , they have always make me happy , this one makes me ecstatic . A really nice milder take on a " Rose & Oud " for those that don't like a heavy perfume baring those main 2 notes ~ A keeper for me ~ ///=^} ~ . Edit : 6/21/20 ~ It does have staying power , I spritzed early a.m. it lasted all day and night with a spritz to each wrist , décolletage , and on my top , so I could get a whiff for me . It is well worth the price , and trust me if you like those notes you'll appreciate a less expensive , non cloying scent { to me , on me } , it is strong on first spritzes if you did what I did and spray all at once . It only lasts a few seconds though . I just went and bought another bottle , and as I stated this is one in my opinion that can be worn year round , just spritz a couple of times instead of 4-6 times ~ ///=^} ~

807 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Turning my attention back to some under $30 fragrances, this was a brilliant blind buy, worth every penny and more. A nice warm woody oriental without the over-the-top rose note that has ruined a number of oudy scents for me. Great performance. All day longevity, good projection, but with restrained application this will offend no one in the car pool or elevator and it will draw compliments (did for me). This is an extraordinary quality bargain scent I can recommend without reservation. I would put it on the same level with Blend Oud's great scents. Nothing animalic or barnyard about this oud. Definitely matches up with much more expensive oud scents in my collection.

wonderful wonderful fragrance, I usually take my time when I try a new perfume, first I try it on the paper strip, then on my skin and just I give it time to test its' longevity, BUT here, the situation differs, from the first time I smelt this in the store I just had to have it; woooow, 100% an Arabian scent, great combination between Oud and rose, the quality of Oud here is so pure, definitely not a good option for people who are not into woody Arabian scents, not a blind buy! just to mention for the price point I was more than satisfied :) all in all, I give it 9/10

A very traditional Middle Eastern rose-oud, but this one comes across VERY masculine! It's sooo good! If you're familiar with the rose-oud combination and looking for an option on the more masculine side, you can't really go wrong with this one.

Ohhh this is the sweet oud I have always been wanting. Delicious. It would smell so attractive on men or women but leans sweeter. It doesn't smell cheap.
