Tras la tormenta en el Jardín Botánico

I have a 7 ml blind buy. I'm an oud novice and I braced myself for the first spray. The oud is a banger for about two hours and then it slowly takes a back seat to a creamy, patchouli rose. Middle Eastern (93 degrees this afternoon) heat definitely increases the sillage and spiciness (saffron?). I can wear this year round in Abu Dhabi. It's warm, cozy and sexy. I love it.

This is one my favourite Oud , Saffron based fragrances. I feel lucky to have been able to purchase 100ML bottle from Harrods before it was discontinued. I use this on special occasions, events. This Un Paseo Por Madrid line had some lovely others as well that I missed out on.

Oriental in a spanish Taste! After the short starting, a sandalwood starts to be a dominant all the way to the end of dry down, in a soapy way! This turn it to be a little bit unpleasant at the end. The overall compositiin is done well, but there is a kind of misaligned note (a soapy kind of smell) take it a little off-track. Longivity: 9/10 [8-9 hours] Projection: 8.5/10 [strong (3 hrs), Mid(2hrs)] Versatility: 8/10 [fits all the year, summer night] Affotdability:6/10 [expensive VS. scent] Scent: 7/10 [Good oriental] Overall: 7.5/10 [safe for oriental lovers]
