Arabia Pour Femme

Tbh I dont smell a lot of the notes listed above. In the opening I smell peach, harsh sharp intense oud and/or wood. Then with the dry down the peach dissapears and there is a little vanilla note, maybe some rose but still accompanied by that intense over-ruling oud. Then after and hour or hour and a half there is a softer, cleaner musk tone on my skin. (I personally can't pick up on any sandalwood, raspberry, oakmoss or amber notes.) I'm not a big fan of harsh intense oud, but the peach in the beginning, and vanilla is nice in it in the background. The musk later on is pleasant as well. It would have been an amazing fragance if the peach, vanilla and oud were a lot more balanced and blended, but unfortunately the oud kind of takes over, the whole time you are wearing this in a big way, and it is not the nicest smelling oud out there unfortunately. I'm wearing this now for 3 hours and smell it still really well, it softened a little but not that much. This is definitely not for people who like gourmand, light, green, chypre, clean, fresh. It's older mature feminine, a little generic, and def not for younger people I would say. I hope this doesn't come across too rude but this perfume reminds me of very rich stern old ladies, oligarch grandmothers, very old ballet instructors/nostalgic divas, cruella de ville, old money, with big personalities, in glory days gone by, in furs and animal prints, who sprayed a little too much on. ;-) I'll keep it for a while to see where it goes when it macerated, I hope it balances out more in a couple of months.
