Oud Laque

This one is beautiful. The dry down is like warm cloves wrapped in leather with a light sweetness from dried fruit, a bit of resin, and a hint of dry smoke. The performance on my skin is exceptional...delicious whiffs all day. It is to me unisex, easily wearable by anyone.

Yup. This is HEAVILY inspired by Oud Bouquet. As an owner of Oud Bouquet and Shaghaf Oud, I can tell you that there's 0 doubt about what inspired this creation. Now, is it a pure copy ? No. This has a sharper edge to it. Oud Bouquet is sweeter, smoother. This has a sort of smoky leather aspect that is absent in Oud Bouquet. This is good as an alternative to Oud Bouquet, but IMO it's not as good. For the retail price (210 euros) I'd splurge a bit more to get Oud Bouquet instead.

Definitely more masculine leaning but a strong, woody, mature oud. Good but strong! May not be suited for places like the gym or an office as well as summertime.

I'm testing Les Bains Guerbois blind and haven't looked up anything about the brand or the fragrances. Mature and elegant amber and resin with maybe an oudy side with underlying musky powderiness. I get hints of something rose-like at times too. Nicely deep and sensual. After a while it remains resinous and warm with a vanilla tone. Looking at the name and notes now, I was expecting more floral notes. The cardamon, cloves, geranium, and base notes fit right in, less so the dried fruit. The leather I guess you could argue for but doesn't appear in my experience. Test it blind on a friend and see if leather is ever uttered. I get visions of female power suits more than anything masculine, but could bend either way. Overall, a nice fragrance for the not so bashful.

العطر ثقيل بس ما يصدع عود مكرر بس فيه ريحة ب الاخير م اعرف اوصفها ممكن الجلد مع البنزوين يعتبر عطر فخم و احس م ينفع بأي مناسبه و اي وقت لازم مناسبة كبيرة من الاخير حطوه بزواجكم 🤓 لكن لازم تشمونه قبل تاخذونه م ينفع لكل الاذواق ريحته فلوووس و هذا ثاني عطر من نفس الماركة اللي حسيته كذا ، هل راح اكرر التجربة ؟ لا
