Tender Oud

Lovely perfume; on my skin starts with a intense but agreeable grapefruit scent; continuing the drying down process and all notes in the composition starts to be more discernible almost like they come one after another but still together in a mix. l just loved this experience, although l also noticed at the first seconds the disturbance of alcohol scent (which it diminishes shortly after other scents start to predominate). My little daughter just told me it smells rather a masculine fragrance...l guess that works on my skin very well. :)

This is a work of art. What a beauty to admire in the aromas life span. If this was a paint, I would describe it its construction as "a perfect harmony-balance of the artist use of colors and movements. Because for me Tender Oud is all about balance. A balance that capture the refreshing, the elegant, the joyful, the playful. The notes are here to create all those expirience at once. Seldom I have encounter this in a perfume. It derseves to be own.

This is very nice, maybe I'm not appreciating it as much as I would due to the fact that this is very akin to the servings of Ex Nihilo, in fact if I sniffed this blindly I would have said "this is Ex Nihilo" I do think it's amazingly blended, but what it has got to do with Oud is beyond me, as there is nothing in this fragrance that has anything to do with Oud! In fact there is nothing in the notes that I can smell apart from a hint of Grapefruit. This scent is extremely easy to wear, very versatile, office safe, anytime any place, it's almost like a dumb reach. Lovely scent, worth it? Not at this price point and that is something that I rarely say, I paid £90 for my bottle, which is reasonable, but I'd not pay more, and I very much doubt I'll buy anything else from the house unless it's around that price mark. I do want to try out Blue Gin, but I'll wait till I find a bargain like I did for this. Enjoy and God bless :)

What a piece!!! Starts of effervescent with a great fermented sweetness, a little leathery, but don’t let it fool you, The grapefruit disappears after a few minutes and leave you with spice and musk (slightly detergent like musk). After another few minutes: it changes again! Now it’s realistic spices with some herbal touches I never smelled before (guessing it’s the Matte). Reminded of a very spiced liquor or a champagne (probably thanks to the cypriol). There is a nice sweetness throughout, finishes as a woody base kinda similar to the other “oud”s from the brand in the very far drydown. Like most Mizensir’s: Complex yet wearable, deep yet appealing. I don’t know how Alberto does it every time. Lasts long but don’t project after 2-3 hours.

I long waited to try this. Very refined perfume! I smell mostly cypriol, which is incredibly nicely done. All year round fragrance, velvety and well rounded. You can't pick distinctly cardamom luckily but you feel it's well spiced up. I like it, but I think it's quite generic crowd pleasing scent, on the line with Acqua di Giò or Light blue by DG. I mean much more luxsurious, much much more refined. Anyway nothing mindblowing, and quite high priced. Projection and sillage are great, nothing to say! Just a safe perfume for basic people
