Oud Oriental Saba

Amazing & luxury perfume , I want to use it again 😊

Reminds me of my bottle of Hollyrose. I like my Hollyrose better and it was cheaper. What bothers me about this fragrance and many in this whole line in general is that many of their fragrances have been done before and done better and for less Money in many cases. And there are better out there with the same scent profiles for the same $$$, so why buy any of these? I wonder if there is any real oud in this fragrance at all. It actually smells like a synthetic leather accord to me. Which most leather accords are and that is fine. If you want to smell really good natural oud try 2 from Providence perfume company Irisque and Rose Boheme. From Centari perfume Dendera. Even the natural NYC Strangelove line lacks nuance. Oud when handled correctly is very beautiful. A soft animalic like woody fragrance. Zoologist Nightingale and Musk Deer are also filled with Wonderful oud. Oud done right! Here it is synthetic for sure and if there is natural in it they used a low quality or very little and cloaked it in a leather accord. The black current blossom is also very tart here. I would have liked black current instead and it isn't as floral as the above accords would have you believe. But then again I expect my floral fragrances to be very floral. This is a fine fragrance but for the price point I expect more. My husband will wear this sample. It is unisex.

I like this, I do... but I also feel like something is missing. I have a bottle and I’ve worn it a handful of times. Love the opening. I swear I pick up on a slight honey note and it’s really smooth and beautiful (no I am not confusing this w the honey in Oud Precieux, I tried that one too and absolutely hated it, makes me nauseous to filth). When this dries down the magic goes away and it falls kind of flat. It also doesn’t have the best longevity or projection. It seems like it has so much potential, I wish it was an absolute love because I love these bottles! Overall, it smells good, just doesn’t blow my mind the way I want it to.

The entire collection is terrible, very very poor, so cheap smelling. This Oud Oriental might be the only passable one. Still not good enough, there is no reason to buy a bottle of this or any of the fragrances of such brand considering the quality of the alternatives. Imo it’s a rip off at the asking price, absolutely outrageous.

Much better than Oud Precieux, more leathery, less sweet with some floral prettiness and a hint of fruity juiciness.
