Oud Velvet Mood Extrait de Parfum

I got a sample. At first, it’s very honeyed leather, to me almost metallic. After a few mins it fades and is not as sharp, the peach and saffron shows up on my skin. The rest of the day a creamy peach is left on skin with a touch of Oud. It’s going to be my fall and winter scent once they drop it, not something I would wear in warm or hot weather. Really enjoy this fragrance

× The Oriental Oud Era: before 2000 Before this millennium started, in the world of perfumery, the Oud ingredient was the King of the Oriental Perfume Family, The original oud presence in perfumes was complex, strong, animalistic, funky and dirty in a masculine way. A symbol of power and greatness Even spirituality, because it has that depth, ancient vibes. × The Westernised Oud Era: after 2000 # The first stage: 2000 - 2010 I believe, M7 YSL 2002 started everything. But that stage provided real first-class blends, tamed oud in a way that amazed even Arabs and the Eastern countries, because oud kept its depth and woody character. Less animalic, less skanky smells...etc Another great example of this stage is Oud Wood by Tom Ford, 2007. > In the 1st stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud are: wood, spices, heavy citrus, and herbs.. Etc # The second stage: 2010 to 2020 During this stage, oud perfumes began to evolve into more unisex, delicate, romantic, or silky scents. Etc > In the 2nd stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud: Rose, Saffron, and leather.. Etc > Good examples for this are: - Oud Ispahan Dior, 2012 - Oud Malaki Chopard, 2012 # The third stage, 2020 till today We are living in a time when oud is mixed with (jammy tropical fruits such as mango and passion fruit) The oud has become sticky, sweet, and you hardly distinguish the type of oud used (is it Indian or Cambodian... etc.) Even in niche brands which should use original and natural ingredients as they sell at high prices, you can't tell which oud you are sniffing. > Good examples for this are: - God of Fire Stéphane Humbert Lucas, 2024 - Oud Cadenza Maison Crivelli, 2022 - Oud Maracujá Maison Crivelli, 2023 > In the 3rd stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud: Red fruits, tropical fruits, and sweets such as caramel ===== Lament and Wish: "Now, for drama purposes, you need to imagine sad background music while reading the text below" Nowadays, we live in a time when the King of the Oriental Family has become just a jam in a jar. That poor king has been forced to change his gender under the pressure of trends and new moda. I pray this stage ends ASAP, and (The fourth stage) to revive the true spirit of oud,,, the deposed King of oriental perfumes. Regards

Just tried this. I was a fan of the original Oud Velvet Mood but it was a bit too strong for my taste and aggressive. This is indeed more wearable. Its more like a leather peach scent. I find it to be unremarkable but pleasant. If you were a fan of Rojas Musk Aoud, which is a fruity musky oud, youre getting something very similar here. In fact it reminds me of that scent. I sprayed approx 15 sprays on, including clothing approximately an hour ago. Its not an overly loud fragrance, nor a heavy scent. It has sort of a rubbery plastic vibe with a touch of peach sweetness. I dont see it being a success. But its nice. Definitely not worth the money. My favourite of the line was Oud Cashmere Mood, hopefully they bring that back.

Peachy my a** Disgusting!!! I am absolutely not someone to hate a perfume and call it disgusting just because I dont like how it smells. If it isnt my style I would just say that. But this is genuinely vile. It smells like a murder crime scene and hospital waste. Metal pipes, crushed pills, medicinal waste. It literally induced fear in me. I felt so uncomfortable smelling this. It is metallic, cold, sharp. Disgusting and vile. If this was last perfume on earth I wouldn't wear it. Eau de crime scene.

To those of you who complain, at least these new notes fit perfectly for the name of the perfume, as velvet oud should contain, yes you guessed it, oud, velvet and peach that also has velvety texture. Notes are spot on. Also, the original perfume wasn't even popular in the first place.
