Oud Symphony

@SwavScent12 to ppl who read his comment this is not just straight oud and its very fruity in the best way possible imo. Maybe with your skin chemistry but on my skin it's a very sexy fruity scent that has durability, it has the thickness similar to erba pura, for a lack of better term and isn't completely fresh. Oud here is very tolerable for me as I'm, imo still new with oud as I've own a few fragrances with oud and this isn't stinky animalic oud that most individuals hate. This is woody, slightly spicy, bit creamy & orienral, very sweet/fruity type of fragrance but not overly, sickly, sweet. For me, I'm a sucker for fruity, woody type of fragrances so this is love at first sniff all thx to there sample set which I got both their male and female sample set. This imo the best in terms of scent profile and performance. I have been getting wiffs from it non stop from just a few sprays or squirts (I should say bc they're sample atomizer don't spray too well) on my inner elbow. This is miles better than salt n pepper, blue agave and even blue turquoise which (reminds me of erba pura) I do 2nd out of the 4 of those I've tried rn.

Got this as a sample vial and whoa Nelly, this is a good one. Decisively unisex, with a fruity playful fem opening, to the woodier unisex, just slightly masculine drydown. The notes read black currant and passion fruit, but i comes across as a very nice generally fruity candy note. Very playful, somewhat feminine and youthful. And as the candy fruit notes fade, the woodier aspects that supported the fruit come out, that’s when this takes a slightly more mature turn for this fragrance. This is a crowd pleaser for sure. Not sure on longevity, gotta put it to the after shower sleep test. Somewhat overpriced, but I will say this: Richard herpin is great at blending his raw materials, nothing ever comes out as too loud, with the exception of ambroxan in his blue scents.

This is an awesome VERY high quality fruity pud fragrance I really on get 4 notes from this. Passion fruit being the strongest out of all of them. It’s almost a photo realistic jug of minute maid fruit juice with a sweet smelling oud back with a tiny bit of rose (like 5-10%) and patchouli The patchouli comes off more minty than earthy which I enjoy more. Adds a cooling effect to everything 11/10 frag with 11h+ longevity and STUPID spillage for like 2.5 hours straight, then from 3-8 hours I’ll say it’s a nice arm length maybe a little more and hour 9 and up you can still get whafs of it but my wife said she couldn’t smell it until I came into her personal space (about a forearm length)

I love this one, it’s sweet and fruity with a nice amount of depth and complexity to it, I’m not generally a huge fan of oud, but the oud in this one is done really well and it doesn’t bother me at all. I see this one as being more of a colder weather fragrance, like 75f and below but since I haven’t actually tried it in hot weather I can’t say for sure. Extremely long lasting, and it also projects well. It’s also pretty crowd pleasing while still being fairly unique. This is one of the few niche fragrances I have tried/own that I would actually be willing to pay full price for if I weren’t able to find a deal on it.

I am going to update this review in the future. When I experienced this scent on air I thought of it as pretty but quite dense. Yesterday, I wore it for the first time. On my skin I appreciate a very beautiful and well blended passion fruit. The rum, woods and incense surround the fruit notes without a hint of harshness. The performance was outstanding. I was surprised by the number of compliments I received, including from a couple that is a fenomenal collector and perfume connoisseur. I will let it mature. Again, on my skin this perfume performed beautifully.
