Oud Sublime

Holy Grail version of "Incense Oud" - which is already absolutely fantastic. This is literally one of the best bottles on the market at any price. Speaking of price: Go with the 90ml vs. the 35ml to significantly improve the price-per-mil, & keep it in mind reading reviews. Might take a couple wears by itself to understand how superior this is to its "competitors"... But they'll be worth it. Oud Sublime for incense & oud, Patchouli Sublime for "barbershop" lavender & patchouli... Just perfection. As a lavender fan, Patchouli Sublime was instant love. Yet Oud Sublime's incense kept drawing me back in, too. Both are just impossible to stop sniffing. These 2 bottles stand alone, head & shoulders above the rest of the Nicolai line (& perfume industry). No doubt about it. If these are your notes, these are your Holy Grail bottles. Absolutely second-to-none, all-day bliss! A true master perfumer, dialing it all to 11... Just what I needed! =)

Upon first application, you get a burst of oud. Then other players join the party, mostly incense. The rose-patchouli aren't all that obvious (thank God!), and the whole affair really is about the aromatic oud supported by incense and aromatic spices. And what a beautiful oud it is. Don't expect anything like the in-your-face overwhelming oud of Malle's The Night: this oud is more sophisticated and refined, less harsh, but not shy by any means: it makes its presence known and you should be careful with overspraying. It is also incredibly persistent: it lasts and lasts and it remains in the air even after you thought it was gone. If you like refined, assertive oud-based perfumes, I'd even suggest a blind buy. Beautiful packaging also, and the price may seem high but I'd say it's not too much considering the quality you get. Two thumbs up! Edit: upon more wearings, the patchouli is actually a lot more prominent than I thought.

While Oud Sublime is definitely a more intense version of another Nicolai fragrance, it's not Patchouli Intense, which is powdery and floral. This is essentially the Parfum/Extrait version of Incense Oud - itself a tenacious EDP and an amazing value for the price. That said, if you're a fan of scents that linger past the 12 hour mark, or you want to treat yourself to an absolutely gorgeous presentation, Oud Sublime can't be beat.
