Scorpion Intense

This is personally my first and only oud fragrance, actually, so my review may not be that good ☹️. But I have about 25 different fragrances and this is in my top 3. I definitely can detect the oud because it is distinct, and unfamiliar to me. The combination of the dark oud, rose, berries, and amberwood makes for an addictive, amazing scent. I just don't know how good of quality the oud is because I've never personally owned any other oud fragrances. So if anyone see this, and would to give me a comparison maybe, that would be cool! This does smell like someone with money imo lol. Saffron is a note I am familiar with and I don't smell it too much in this if at all. The longevity is crazy to the point that when you spray it on, it's almost pure perfume oils so be careful of your clothes. I suggest only spraying on something that you know you'll spray it on again. I'm not sure about batch variations and all that because it's relatively new, but I can personally say that I've washed my nike Tracksuit about 4-5 times in cold water, over the course of 2 months... I could still smell it wafting in the air when I took it out of the last wash about an hour ago.... it's like the oil is now embedded in the fabric lol. So beware. I love the fragrance in general, but I don't know how good the oud is because I have little to no experience with it. I can definitely smell it though. It's deep and sensual like nothing I've ever smelled. 8.5/10 scent imo. I would probably give it a full ten if the opening was better. The opening is almost kinda skanky and almost non descript because it's so powerful, then it very quickly dries down into something special.

Back for more! I bought a full bottle because I wanted this in my collection. The package came a little beat up and the cap to the bottle was damaged so beware. There was a dent at the top of the cap on the edge. Nonetheless, the juice was good and I had a different experience than with the 1ml sample of course. I experienced the same oud, rose, and berries at the top (which I love), but the oud fades along with the berries (after 2 hours) and then I was left with the rose full blasting very floral and natural. It leaned feminine for a little bit, but that did not bother me. Then once I got to the mid, the amber started to come out and combined with rose and gave me this cleanliness similar to Ambre Nuit from Dior. That lasted for maybe another hour before the rose died down and I was left with the amber sweetening just a tiny bit and fading into a nice and simple amber and woods. That was quite a great experience and I believe this is very much worth a sniff. This is also not massively expensive so this was definitely worth it for me. On clothing, this lasted me forever. On the skin, I got over 8 hours before it softened into a woods scent. I got about 4 hours of projection. I cannot say how far this projects, but it's at least 3 feet and could be more. It was pretty strong. I'll update this when I have a better idea. Edit: This is definitely room filling.

#1019 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is one of the nicest Orientals I've found. Non-animalic oud, moderate rose, a little fruitiness, solid longevity and projection. Smells great when applied. Even better an hour later. Classy, more masculine, more for mature audiences. Can't stop sniffing it! Probably not business wear outside the Middle East. Date wear for sure. Got compliments first thing this morning in the coffee shop from the gorgeous Korean-American med student barista. That's why I do this! The wild berries note is not the cheap smelling raspberry you get in most of the scents in the "reminds me of section." More blueberry, blackberry. I like it much better. This is a bit pricey, but I'm getting a bottle as I'll definitely wear this more than any of the ouds I already have. The best pricing I've found is $140 US for 50ml with free worldwide shipping on the Odyon site. https://odyondubai.com/products/odyon-premium WARNING! Do not spray your clothes! This is very oily and will stain.

I was able to get a sample from luckyscent. I'm so glad that I waited. I like this. I don't really like oud-rose fragrances because they're either too dank/sharp/jammy, etc., but this nails it perfectly. It's just sweet enough with the berries. And the oud and rose combo is great. I like how it's not a jammy rose as well. The price is looking nice for the quality, but I'm going to wait it out since I'm not in love with this. Do not blind buy unless you're into rose oud. Also, I never smelled Ombre Nomade so unfortunately I cannot confirm if this is a dupe or not. Maybe later. Edit: I can now confirm this is a clone of Ombre Nomade. The openings are the same, but with Scorpion Intense it progresses differently through mid and base, while ON stays in the same realm of its opening and dries more woody.

Some of the reviews here are silly. If you do not like OUD this is not for you. Go back to cool water 😆. Either you love OUD or hate it. Its a mature scent for grown ups. Stay away young peeps. It is not real OUD and some may not tell the difference and that's ok. My younger brother smelled this one time and said it smelled like cat piss 😆. I've had women all over me just asking over and over what I'm wearing. Another beautiful fragrance I recommend if you like this jam is (Voice of the soul). Man I've had more compliments with that one for some reason and scorpion 🦂 has fruit notes? I wear both and love both and I don't care who likes it or who it offends. That's why I've been a collector for years and have a very very mature nose. 😎✌️
