Aoud Intense Sunlight

I smell a realistic jasmine, sweet, high-pitched, somewhat ozonic and very ethereal, with a creamy milky gardenia undertone blended into the jasmine-ylang ylang, but still prominent, just not dominant. In the later drydown at the projection I can smell a more potent gardenia blended with the banana-like ylang ylang. The pineapple adds a unique juicy playful and youthful sweetness to it similar to that of Accidental Vanille White Paradise due to the common pineapple note. The orange blossom and ylang ylang are fantastic and don't give the usual metallic, camphor green annoying vibe, but rather a solar warmth. The orange blossom is slightly salty at times. The ylang ylang adds its own magic, a banana custard-like creamy, powdery scent, as ylang ylang sometimes does in perfumes and it amplifies the milky creaminess of the gardenia. As a note ylang ylang can be camphor-like even though it's sweeter, juicier than orange blossom as in bbw tropidelic, but not in this. This is a solar slightly warm and light woody floral scent, very ethereal, but quite milky. In the opening and for 10 mins I could smell a plastic rubbery element in it when I smelled my skin up close, not an actual cistus or labdanum leathery effect as in Candy of Creamy Vanilla though, and it faded leaving behind a milky musky undertone. It's a very high-pitched white floral scent, without heaviness. The pineapple - lactones blend is perhaps behind a subtle plastic effect as it transitions to the later drydown, reminiscent of peach - weird - but eventually the gardenia and ylang ylang prevail. Overall this is a classy youthful ethereal white floral, solar and comforting tropical scent. It projects great. My mom smelled it on me right away and said 'something smells amazing' and once I extended my arm for her to smell the scent she said ''wow this is beautiful''.

Love this scent. I’ve never smelled the OG, but I’m totally happy with this. It’s lush with a strong tropical base. This will go into my summer rotation immediately! 😍
