Oud for Love

Super spicy whisky open with caramel, amber, and balsam out front. I feel like the zing of aldehydes are hanging out in the background with a faint floral. The oud is in the middle of the two impressions, which is interesting because all my oud perfumes either use it as a base that supports the rest or as the shining star. If someone made the feeling of the first sip of an ice cold can of Dr. Pepper, this would be it. Two hours in and it's just a chill caramel and amber. Not bad at all, but a little boring. Not something I'm inspired to purchase (Adjatay is on my to-buy list and still have three more from this company to try) but I'd be well pleased with a coworker or classmate who wore this. The smell is somehow incomplete. I feel like it could use a touch of sweet patchouli (femme) in the dry-down or some vetiver (masc). Edit - I think I've changed my mind. The dry down is super comforting, like the butterball bath bomb from Lush. Still not going for a full bottle, but that's because I'm po' and the $250 on up for a 50ml bottle is reserved for things I'm super in love with.

One of the most unique and complex oud creation on the market. In the opening it starts out with this beautiful whiskey, oud, and amber accord that slowly develops into a warm, spicy, powdery scent, with soft heart notes of sandalwood, ylang ylang, iris, and tuberose, and then developing into a musky, smoky, and soft animalic drydown that includes caramel, tolu balsam, castoreum, and vetiver. One of the most beautiful takes on Oud I have ever come accross. The most amazing part of this fragrance is it's development from start to finish. The drydown reminds me of Nasomatto's Pardon. My 3 P's - Price 10/10 - Projection 8/10 - Performance 8/10

Velvety and dreamy with nothing loud, screechy or overwhelming but only smooth edges. OUD FOR LOVE is a beautifully blended oud scent which can be appreciated even by those who are not fans of oud. I was surprised at how much I love this fragrance, since I've had a difficult time finding the oud-dominant scent I can wear and enjoy. This magical brew has a powdery elegance on my skin, the smoothest, slightly sweetened, lightly spiced most appealing oud I have ever smelled. It just made my top shelf favorite fragrances. Longevity at over 8 hours is also a plus.

I just got a great deal on a bottle of this from one of my FB groups.This is a very upscale fragrance, blended in a way that i can't separate the notes, but it immediately reminded me of something very familiar. Like maybe a mix between Nasomatto Pardon and Elie Saab oud #4? Anyway, this was a pleasant blind buy, as i love it! Projection seems moderate and longevity is good as well. This smells sexy to me, there's also something about it that makes me think of Chambre Noire. 8 1/2 out of 10 for me.

Very different take on oud and ambre. From very first sniff I fell in love with it .boozy ambre which is passionate mingled with spiciness of clove on the openning then oud come across couple of minutes and complete the exotic oriental atmosphere of the perfume.times goes by an smoky animalic kick of castoreum appears on the dry down that creates kinda smoky leathery feel. The bottom of the whole animalic smoky vanila and oud remains with a tiny touch of gourmand .
