Oud Holidays

All i'll say is good job gatekeeping guys. This stuff is gorgeous! Creamy florals perfectly balanced by a sweet woody oud. Just got it and it's already pretty strong. My new favourite summer scent.

Totally wrote it off when I got it about a year ago as it came off harsh and synthetic... I am pleased that I didn't get rid off it, because this bottle right here is actually very very good. Don't let the tacky nuclear green bottle scare you away, this is an unexpected treat. On my skin, this is a tropical and aromatic floral scent that manages to not get overwhelmed by the leather/oud/vanilla base. Yup, good sh*t!

Very exotic leather and oud vibes, very warm and fragrant. Definitely get tobacco notes but they're not overpowering. Nice blind buy.

I got this a few weeks ago and really like how long it lasts and projects with how little sprays. It starts off with a kind of rose with oud and then after 10 minutes the citrus breaks through but not too strong. The rose is very strong same for the oud but for some reason for me it doesn't mix well. It smells like mold and urine for the 30-50 mins and then dies down into a more nicer rose smell with lemon and lime sort of smell. Overall if you like a fragrance like Black aoud by montale then this will be a fragrance you will like but for me its a big NO and not a blind buy safe!

Very synthetic smell, and definitely not blind buy safe. Even the drydown is terrible, sort of chokes the nose. I hope it gets better with maturation, but don't have much hopes. Right from the opening, to the heart notes, to the settling down feels quite obnoxious and cheap to my nose.
