Violet Oud

This smells gorgeous. It, like every Orientica oil and spray I have tried so far, is POTENT. It lasts hours, and I smell it every time I move. I have been wearing this for at least three hours and like Orientica Floral Rose (a spray) it hasnt changed much at all. Its still just as intense and still smells just like it did when I applied it over 3 hours ago. The packaging is wonderful. It comes in a small, sturdy cardboard cylinder similar to the way Pink Sugar is sold. Its made to last at least as long as the product inside does, and does a great job of keeping heat and light out! The bottle itself is tiny and cute, with a matching soft silicon cover that fits over the bottle all the way to the matching metallic lid. Personally, I feel that this smells similar to Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy edp, enough that I am going to layer mine with this on top of some nice vanilla body cream. I wouldn't call it a dupe, but there is a definite similarity. I dont smell peach, citrus OR pear. I smell blueberries. Wonderful, sweet, wild blueberries. And warm sandalwood and amber. And a lovely sweet and solid vanilla wafting through the entire duration its on. A tiny dot on my wristbone lasted all the way through an energetic handwashing with good strong soap! I am going to try to dab this on the ends of my hair and see what happens. Two thumbs waaaay up! This is definitely something not to pass on if you love sweet, strong vanilla, and blueberries.

I'm a newbie to oud, but I can't really detect any here. I get beautiful, sweet powdery heliotrope dominating over a soft cloud of woody vanilla. It makes me think of parma violets if they dressed up for a night out on the town, lol. I don't get the listed bright fruity notes at all, but something darker like blueberries or blackberries. One curious sniff in a store and I gasped because I wasn't expecting it to smell so PRETTY. It's a strong, long-lasting scent that pairs wonderfully with anything vanilla, and goes PERFECTLY with the Colab Black Violet dry shampoo I often use! It lasts for days on clothes and it's just so lovely to catch a little whiff of it every now and then.

I adore this scent! I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do... I'm not a big floral lover but I do like my sweet/gourmand scents.. too me this smells like candied violets. Like a giant bouquet of violets dipped in liquid sugar. So pretty, so feminine! It doesn't have to much throw (lil more then arms length) but it lasts for hours! Really delightful.. always puts a smile on my face and i get compliments everytime i wear it. Will definitely be getting another bottle when this one is gone

This one is extremely sweet, which is great since I like obscenely sweet scents. On me, it opens with the peach. After that, I get some powdery heliotrope and creamy vanilla. It continues on with a bit of sandalwood and musk at the base, with the sweetness still hanging around. I smell no oud. It can be found for under $10 and lasts quite a while. It's the next day and I can still smell it on my skin. Not as sweet, but still there.

Candied peach & vanilla on my skin with a cloud of heliotrope. This is my second Orientica perfume oil purchase and I am keen to try more. What a potent little number! I leave a room and when I come back in a few minutes to half an hour later, a hint of this is still in the air.
