Oudian

This is special. Opens up with a sour like fruitiness with the oud in the back. You really get the stankyness from the oud and the durian but in the best way possible. Its really nothing like oud maracuja, this is way more vibrant and makes more of a statement its light and dark at the same time. Imagine going in to a dark techno place and while you enter your favourite song is playing, such a dark place but suddenly you feel like your the best version of yourself, full of euphoria and that its going to be a hell of a night, full of things your never going to tell again. Its dark, euphoric, and in a good way its dirty.

When I first sprayed this on I thought oh great yet another oud, leather, and fruit fragrance.It is a bit sharper and animalistic which I like. However, It's a beat to death flavor profile let's be real here. If you like Oud Maracuja or Ombre Nomad here's another entry. I will give it the recognition with the addition of durian fruit. At first sniff I didn't smell it at all, then my wife from the other room asked what that funky foot smell was! LOL durian fruit! For that I will say it's unique for the DNA this fragrance is in. Overall you can find others like this for much cheaper and good quality.

It opens up with this weird, fruity note coming from the durian. It is unsettling, ambiguous and addictive at the same time. It is immediately followed by clean, slightly animalic and pungent oud that in combination with already divisive durian note can be a dealbreaker for many but oh my it works for me. After a while oud and leather dominate making it a heavy scent, which i normally wouldnt like, but as for the addition of this uplifting and even juiciness of fruits it stays wearable unique and so addictive.

Oudian by Pernoire perfumed by Andreas Wilhelm welcomes you with a delicious fruity opening. Durian and tropical fruit notes are reminiscent of a childhood fueled by fruit roll ups. There is a nice funky oud accord presence with a richness that is complimented by the pairing of labdanum and olibanum. A beautiful combination of notes that could be somewhat polarizing but still very wearable, a must try for lovers of fruity oud fragrances like myself.

This perfume is an absolute beat! I have never smelled a Durian in a perfume and it it gorgeous. With the oud, this scent is just WOW!
