Oud 71

This is my first review of a fragrance. I don't normally leave reviews, but I had to for this. Reiss. I don't know what they did, but they successfully made a lifelong oud hater fall in love with an oud fragrance. It smells like a melon, in the best way possible. It's not a safe blind buy. Fresh with woody undertones, it's suitable for the office. Can become cloying in extreme heat, so I would say it's more a summer night fragrance. Projection and sillage are both average. I absolutely love this fragrance. It's not a typical designer fragrance, definitely leans niche. My girlfriend absolutely hates it, so I don't get to wear it anywhere near as much as Id like to. To date, I've had 0 compliments with this fragrance, and I've been wearing it to the office for about a month now. The atmoiser sucks. It's pressurised but it has such a small spread, and barely any cologne comes out - you have to spray multiple times. The cap sucks, it's not heavy or magnetic, but the box makes a nice little display stand for it. Definitely a more refined middle aged man scent. Overall 9/10 from me. I wear what I like - and I like this :)
