This is Perry Ellis Oud Black Vanilla Absolute (which came first in 2015, but is now getting difficult to find). Both are excellent cozy vanilla-forward fragrances with very tame, but present oud. Delicious, yet stopping short of becoming gourmand. A solid concoction that can be rocked by all genders. Swerdoff's version is slightly richer, and projects more. The current price tag for both are pretty comparable. Which version is "better" will depend on what you're looking for in a fragrance: If you prefer understated scents safe for the office and more intimate situations, seek out the Perry Ellis OG. If you like your fragrances "louder" - this is your jam. I have decants of both, and would be happy to have a full bottle of either in my collection. This is an easy reach during cool weather, and it's just so so good.

A lovely Ambery, oudy fragrance which is long lasting and leaves a decent scent trail. Dries down to a vanillary oudy scent and is another high quality fragrance from SweDoft

A truly unique scent. A very different and wearable oud. I would give this a 9/10 overall.

Vanilla, oud and musk Simple as that really, shares a similarity to Sarah bakers Loudo without the white chocolate accord. But instead replaced it with caramel You don’t pick this up but likely blended well with the vanilla. Very sweet opening with a slightly funk from the oud. Longevity: 8/10 Projection 5/10
