Oud Hindi

This perfume is NOT a flirtatious dance of fruity delights trust me - whoever wrote that is playing tricks with you. This is extremely close to Russian Oud by Areej Le Dore. It's animalic with a beautiful balsamic /aromatic note that hovers around 3" off the skin. It reminds me of Friars Balsam with benzoin and styrax in the mix. I was hoping it would be a lot darker and barnyard - ish after reading the reviews but that note only appears in the opening 5 minutes or so. I would say it leans masculine, although a strong confident woman could rock this all day long. I'm giving it a strong 8.5/10 and would have gone higher if the animalics lasted for the duration. I don't recommend this if you aren't a lover of real oud - this is not a Western style playful oud by any stretch of the imagination; this is deep, meditative oud with class. The search for that elusive dark, brooding heavy stallion scent continues....

If you are wondering what Russian Oud by Areej Le Dore smells like then this is the closest I've come across. A lot of people will find this challenging to wear if they are not used to proper oud. It's animalic, with a gorgeous balsamic /aromatic layer that sits about 3" off the skin. When I was a kid we used something called Friars Balsam to cure chest congestion and this has hints of that. I was hoping for something very heavy and barnyard - ish but this only holds that note for around 5 minutes before opening up. Please ignore the reviews claiming this has fruity lychee etc because this doesn't at all - I think they are confusing this with something else. I'm giving this an 8.5/10 because it's gorgeous but would have scored it higher if it was more animalic /barnyard. I would guess it leans masculine, although a strong woman with good taste could rock this all day long.

This is one of the most beautiful Cambodi/Hindi oud sprays what I ever smellt! It starts with a wet, barnyardy oud and dries down to a sweet oud and wood fragrance with some green and also dark, almost chocolatey notes that make it addictive, sensual and intimate. Of course, one has to love the smell of cambodi oud to appreciate this fragrance but it is mindblowing how can something at this pricepoint be so beautiful and true to the real fragrance of pure oud. I wish the projection and longevity were better but probably thes will develop with time. I think this is wonderful for layering, too. Pure, delicate, animalic, sensual oud, this is.

Investing in this scent was worth every moment, offering a serene and elegant aroma with its blend of lotus, pear, white musk, and amber. It stands out as refreshing and unique, perfect for those who appreciate fragrances that offer both tranquility and elegance. A serene and captivating choice.

This fragrance is a flirtatious dance of floral and fruity notes, where pink pepper, lychee, rose, and white musk come together in a dazzling display of scent. It's playful and alluring, perfect for those days and nights when you want to leave a memorable impression.
