Art 13 - É Tanta Roba

Start with this if you want to discovery the oud world. Animalic, leathery, yet it becomes creamy and fruity in the drydown. The name explains perfectly how you should react when smelling this ("è tanta roba"="that's the real deal") A very complex and structured masterpiece from Arturetto Landi

Strong, slightly smokey leathery oud opening Very masculine, as it starts to dry it become animalic It has certain creamy undertones that hint to florals and fruits - smoothing the overall rough vibe of oud and leather As it's completely dry it become way heavier on the woody and ambery notes, becoming a bit warmer and less animalic

Ok, I decided to take a plunge on this one after some digging around in the original Profumi d'art website. Armaf really seems to have messed up the note breakdown for this one. Therefore the note breakdown in fragantica is also incorrect. The correct note breakdown can be found in the original Profumi d'art website (https://profumi.de/en/products/art-13-e-tanta-roba-100ml). This is an oud centric fragrance. I get a Chocolate note also in the opening and it stays half way through the life of the fragrance. Towards the end its mostly oud but it reminds me a lot about gasoline, which I am not a big fan of. Although the perfume claims to have used some natural oud prachim, I find this to be a bit synthetic. I am not an Oud expert by any means though. It has moderate sillage but lasts quite long. Definitely not worth the retail price in my opinion.
