Rose Oud

I rather like this little BS number. There a noticeable oud note in it as far as I can smell, and it's a very pleasant smelling perfume, which is strong, sweet, floral and likeable. This is a quality fragrance IMHO, it is unique, mysterious and spicy. Longevity is excellent and projection is powerful. Unlike Amber oud, this perfume is more feminine than masculine, but I think that it could be worn by both sexes. Nice little number Body Shop, well done!! Shame it's discontinued.

I had this perfume 8 years ago beautiful fresh orientale scent

This is definitely a fresh spicy which are generally safe bets for me but I can't smell rose or oud in this, just an odd spicy note like a sweet&sour curry powder and then a pleasant clean, dry fluffy note that reminds me a bit of sandalwood.. if it wasn't for that clean note I don't think I'd like it, the spice is almost too much for me. UPDATE: the spice seems to have faded a lot in the drydown, so, I'm just left with this lovely clean note which is smooth kind of smoky and musky, I really like it, thanks Nexangelus for gifting me this :) x

Smells medicinal and synthetic. Got so many critics when im on this frag.

I just wanna say something about Oud as so many westren people are complaining about it being now popular. I remember my first post about my fragrances collection, all of them were french fragrances cause I'm head over heals in love with anyhthing french, even clothes, food, drinks...etc. Though oud & orintal fragrances are way too popular in middle east specially in UAE & arabian gulf in general, I can't afford to buy them all the time cause oud is sometimes way too expensive as it's rare. Rich folk where I live now buy it all the time & use it in their fancy parties like luxurious proms & fairytale look a like weddings. I'm not saying that I don't like it but as you can see not anything I can afford though I want one single perfume from Amouage & all of there fragrances have oud & herps in them. When I was living in Lebanon as I'm half a lebanese, oud was not so common between my mates in there but arabian rich families like to buy it & mix it with musk or oud or ( oudah ) as we sometimes call it.
