Oud Venture

This scent breaks my heart. It is absolutely spectacular, a gorgeous oud scent. It has a bit of a tingle in the opening that reminds me of champagne (not the scent, more the vibe). It settles into the most incredible skin scent, like nuzzling a lover at night in a fancy hotel during a holiday trip. And all of this happens in less than three hours, then it is gone. If I can smell it on me in four it is like a distant whisper, a taunting jab that reminds me of the magical scent I could be wearing IF IT EVER STAYED ON THE SKIN. Really, it makes me passionately angry that this beauty performs so poorly AND in that price range. If it were 50 euros, sure. I would carry it with me and reapply liberally. But as it is priced now, I will simply keep having my heart broken over and over until my 10ml tester runs out. This is a big "love" - but I won't rate it that due to the cruel, cruel performance.

The performance on my skin above average but not so bad like people say here... On my scarf last forever. It doesn't smells like Oud Wood bit true this fragnance a clone. Byredo - Oud Immortel clone. And u know what? Oud Immortel has weaker performance, smells more natural, and cost much more money.

I agree with the similarities to the TF oud wood, but on my skin the longevity is great. I tested it in cold Denmark, just a spray behind each ear and it lasted whole day of walking mostly outside.

I get a strong similarity to Tom Ford Oud Wood. Has strong OUD note. If you know Oud Wood you know how this smells like. Very much similar scent.

This could be a signature fragrance. Notes are so beautifully blended. Altho100 € is too expensive for the performance it has. Sad but not disappointing, this has become already a normal practice. Getting a fragrance that is gorgeous and performs is a lottery ticket this days.
