Erba Oud

Erba Oud is obviously polarizing, it is the epitome of commercial niche. It is the mythical Centaur of the fragrance world: half beast galloping through the mud and half philosopher with eyes turned to the heavens. If one were to trust the majority of the reviews below (don't) you would believe this is poop in a spray bottle. The truth is that it is indeed, for the very first few moments of the opening, bottled turd! Then something magical happens, the horse patty alchemically transforms into a rich oud, fruit, and incense medley with hints of jackfruit curry popping up fancifully in the background for a bit. I am reminded of wandering through a southeast Asian open air market many years ago with fine incense burning as stands replete with ripe fruit beckon and then the breeze shifts ever so slightly to bring a waft of something delicious in the distance. Erba Oud is potent, a single spray is plenty, and this juice is a marathon runner that will go for twelve hours easily while transforming numerous times. Erba Oud is not just one fragrance, it is several Russian nesting dolls; as one layer is removed a new and entirely different perfume potion is revealed beneath. Erba Oud is brilliant because it is an absolute roller coaster ride, the execution is bold and divisive as many great works of art are, and it takes a strong character to tame this gorgeous Sagittarius in a bottle.

Si bien Sospiro nos presentó una mejora de calidad al frutal clásico "Erba Pura" en "Erba Pura Mágica", seguía siendo ese olor algo femenino e incluso infantil, me cuesta trabajo imaginar a un hombre oliendo así. En Palacio de Hierro (Tienda deparamental de lujo aquí en México) ví una botella de Sospiro de color amarillo que decía "ERBA OUD" sospeché que se trataría de esas veces que las casas quieren sobre explotar un ADN con mil flankers. Pero aún así me dió curiosidad saber a que olería Erba Pura con Oud. En cuanto el vendedor retiró la tapa del perfume me llegó inmediatamente un fuerte olor a establo, ¡solo con retirar la tapa! Al atomizar un secante me invadió una fuerte ráfaga de un Oud tan fuerte y apestoso, al pegar la nariz fue donde ese contraste frutal empezó a relucir. Quedé perplejo, Sospiro me había callado la boca. Estoy encantado con este perfume, Erba Pura tenía salvación con un Oud Apestosito. Aroma: 8.7/10 Duración: 14 horas en piel Estela: Enorme (Cuidado porque me han dado malos comentarios)

My honest review on this fragrance: Let me firstly say, erba oud is miles clear of oud maracuja or any of the other similar dna's. This is a fruity-oud masterpiece. Do not listen to the haters! This opens up beautifully with a very sweet fruity, almost caramel like smell. I think its the melon that I get most. Almost instantly aswell you get this not harsh but smooth oud running in the background. The leather, oud and vanilla combine so well with the fruity notes its just incredible. This is just so much brighter than oud maracuja and I could see myself wearing this in the summer even in Doha, Qatar. And lets not start about the performance, this is nuclear. 2 sprays get the job done, 3 might even choke people. And this lasts like crazy, do not spray on clothes as it does not come off! 9,2/10 for me!

Erba Oud is a fragrance I literally adored. Imagine the juiciness and freshness of the fruity notes combined with a strong, slightly animalic oud, which on one side add personality to the fruity part, and on the other side refresh the oud, making it a fragrance that is nothing less than magnetic and is sure to get compliments. The performance is very high, wonderful during the warmer seasons for those looking for an oud in an enchanting summer mood. A definitely winning contrast. On the wishlist. ‘Running train’ painted by Ivo Pannaggi.
