Golden Oud

On skin it opened up with raspberry oud rose and saffron. Rather light overall then amber woody notes started coming in to almost replace the earlier notes. As for the on clothing sample, not much difference, mainly just a different dry down which is raspberry oud in this case. Moderate silage. The scent projected from skin for about two hrs. It stayed on clothing for about twenty four hrs. A rather light oud, suitable for beginners with my two sprays. For experts, you are welcome to up the number of sprays to however many you care to.

When oud isn’t blended well, it can indeed have a harsh, sometimes overwhelming scent that can cause discomfort or even headaches. I find Oud Royal stands out in a positive way—its lighter, more refined profile makes it far more approachable. In contrast, the rest of the oud range can feel too intense or overly sweet , especially when paired with rose, which sometimes amplifies the richness to an overwhelming level. To me oud more suitable for winter.

From my experience, I first shot of spray I could smell a lot of raspberry and geranium. I felt quite headache since I have to drive a car and work in the air-conditioner room. However, my colleagues told me that.... "hey the smell of perfume is nice for today" after I sprayed this perfume around 5-6 hours in the morning.. So if you are not familiar with oud, it is not advisable to use this perfume.
