Well this is just absolutely scrummy! A dry smokey oud with an addictive surrounding fruitiness. I want to bathe in this. It reminds me of Oud Rain by Renier, just a bit darker. Love this 👍🏻

I had to review, even though I’ll rate but typically not review if I only have a sample. But when I saw this at a 2.75 average, I had to. IMO, this is not a 2.75 fragrance. And the only reason I only gave it a 4 was based on price. I have to assume the lower votes were people who don’t like oud. Because if you like oud, I would have to think you’d rate this a 4 or 5. It’s well crafted. Instead of rose/oud, this one is geranium/oud. I don’t have the finely tuned nose that can pick up all the notes listed, but I clearly detect oud, floral and leather. This reminds me of a few other oud fragrances that I can’t quite place. And if it makes it to discounters, or I find someone selling a partial, I’d pick it up. I will not spend $295, though. I’m not saying it’s not worth it for some people, it’s just not for me. But I do think it’s a very nice fragrance for what it’s trying to be.

This is nice !! The base notes are here to stay but they are blended so beautifully (not in your face) I get some sweetness from the red fruits surrounded by the saffron, oud and smoke all joined together with some warm resinous amber (gives the fragrance that warm feeling) Unisex but I would prefer this on a man during cold weather.

I'm testing this blind from my ScentXplore bag. What I can say from wearing this scent a few days is that it morphs more than most, and far from a blind buy. Really recommend trying to this out. While I ultimately didn't like it, leaning slightly negative, others might adore where it ends. At first opening a get a bright aromatic, before morphing into an almost leather and floral rose quality, for 5 - 10 minutes. The oud then starts to surface from below, and there's another chapter where the oud has that cumin-like herby bend to it. This is not pleasant, but it is thankfully in passing, warming up and drying out. The result is a relatively nice leather and dry wood profile, but not my personal taste. Looking at the notes, I don't get any red fruit, and any amber seems very distant. If there's any smoke it's blown away, as the rest is a mild, but strongly projected kiln dried woody element, with hints of leather. The longevity is great, but the first 40 minutes or so is a varying uneven path that doesn't lead to anywhere significant, but a warm dry oven of wood and leather chips. A just leaning negative experience for me.

Tried the sample, not a fan. My wife smelled it, she wasn't either. What I will say is, it is a bit smokey, touch of spice and kind of floral. Try the sample before deciding but like I said, wasn't a fan. It's not bad, just not for a guy or for me in general.
