Red Musk Oud

A very decent flanker of the Red Musk from the body shop that makes a very nice every few years. When you compare this to the original red musk, you simply realize that the latter didn't have any depth as a scent, it was a very linear scent, but shallow as well, musk with nuances of many other notes, but this is a complete scent, may not be amazing, but complete. Red musk our surprisingly doesn't have any our in it, its a ln oriental scent, but oriental for Westerners only, its sweet, ambery, and musky blended with cinnamon and tobacco, more of the first, the tobacco here just seems to hold all those sweet notes together and to avoid it becoming overly sweet, it also adds depth to the scent. This has no oud, the base consists of musk and little sweet nances that I couldn't recognize, its smells like amber, but amber isn't listed so I'm not sure. The introduction is much sweeter than the heart and the base. Over all a very nice scent that will probably sell well, and the "oud" is named for a reason, they're trying to catch up with the Our hype before it dies. The longevity of this scent is average, 4 to 5 hours max, the sillage and projection are amazing for the first 3 hours, I had this sprayed on one arm, when I left the store I had 4 sprays from different perfumes on both hands, I kept getting whiffs of the Raed Musk Oud without detecting the others. Will definitely buy for the next winter, on the list already.

Evet , adında Oud var ama parfüm de Oud yok. Zaten firma da olduğunu söylememiş. Bence ortada bir sorunda yok çünkü bu fiyata böyle güzel bir parfüm her zaman karşımıza çıkmıyor. Oud etkisi yada Oud ü andıran koku sadece ilk 10 saniye de burnunuza geliyor. Bunu ise yorgun tarçın- tutun karışımı dağlıyor. Bu kısa atraksiyonun sonrasında ise yumuşak, şekerli bir kimlik ortaya çıkıyor. Bu tarzda kokular dan genellikle rahatsız olmama rağmen bunu sevdim. Çok sıcak havalarda dışında her zaman keyifli olacaktır. Kesinlikle unisex bir yapısı var. Parfüm konsantrasyonunda olmasına rağmen çok güçlü değil. Ancak yetersizde değil. Biraz oryantal, biraz şekerli biraz yumuşak bir parfüm istiyorsanız aradığınız parfüm budur.

This is SUCH a wonderful discovery. I only happened upon this by accident, thinking this was the regular Red Musk but ohhh did my dear heart flutter upon reading the word ~oud~. Super stoked as well that it's on 20% discount so it comes down to IDR 302.000 (roughly AUD 30). I guess im just happy (and surprised) that there's a reasonably afforable oud scent available, in quite a mainstream store nevertheless. As for scent descriptions.. to me it smells very Oriental. Amber, musk, woody and sweet notes are what i can detect. sorry can't really describe this very well, reviewers down below have basically done a better job explaining the notes, quite accurately i might add.

This is the perfume that started my whole fragrance journey. My mom bought it and gave it to me right before it was discontinued. Even though I was quite young, I wore it non-stop, summer or winter though I fell completely in love with the way it felt on summer evenings. It’s mysterious, sexy, even intoxicating, yet it does all that without ever being loud. Interestingly, it even has a clean, soapy quality to it, which I assume comes from it being a musk fragrance. Ever since it got discontinued, I’ve been searching for scents that evoke that same feeling, and that search ended up turning me into a total fragrance addict.

I'm usually not a keen fan of The Body Shop fragrance line, but this one along with the predecessor the Red Musk turns me ON!!! It's a westernized version of oud, most likely synthetic. Perhaps it's not synthetic, I don't know but judging on my natural dehn al oud collections and fancier ittars along with Al Rehab stuff this one is probably yes...synthetic. But it's okay! I love oud, it's amazing! Some might said it's an acquired taste, but this stuff is one hell of a player, TBS definitely step up their game with Red Musk, and Red Musk Oud!
