Crop 2018

An Oud lovers dream come true. There are only two discernible ingredients but they are both so natural and of such high quality that this perfume turns out to be very special. The Kalimantan Oud oil is blended with the oil of Paolo Santo wood. The result is a perfume that opens with a slightly barnyardish Oud and proceeds to settle into a powdery herbal woody bliss. Masculine leaning with moderate to strong sillage and projection and good longevity. If you are an Oud lover you owe it to yourself to try a sample at least. Enjoy!

You're the earth, the stuff of stars, conjured from the void, formed over lifetimes--a seafaring nomad, forever sailing on the winds of time, wandering the great abyss. Crop 2018 by The House of Oud.

Of all the Oud perfumes in my collection this is my favorite. No rose, just rich high quality Oud and Sandalwood. Glad I sampled and very pleased I have a full bottle.

An oud scent with slight animalic undertones. A bitter, acrid, sour juice like a chrysanthemum or a white rose without any sweetness. On me it's mostly green citrus with a bit of bitter smoke on a burnt leather base. From this, I do not distinguish the palo santo but I get a single note. It remains a linear scent that reminded me of Extra Virgo's Monte Kush oudy base. I prefer the latter which complements the oud with aromatic notes of rose, hemp and rosemary. A.. stringent.

Bludgeoningly heavy-duty, iron-hard hardwood challenge for dedicated lovers of real, difficult, stinky, authentic oud notes only. It's dirty oud too, fecal and feral and all too true to nature. I tried this hoping that the promised sandalwood and palo santo would be gentle and diplomatic enough to sweeten the overall effect, and magically make for a true oud scent which was rough and organic enough to have real character, but not reek of manure for too long. Sadly, while the truly poo-ey stage doesn't last much past 45 minutes on me, the mellowing effect is ... not mellowing enough, and while it's oh so definitely very real oud all the way, it's dark and sour and nearly acrid throughout. Gasoline and burning rubber rather than cinnamon and teak. No trace at all of the other ingredients often used to sweeten an oud mix (rose, honey) - which could be a plus or a minus depending on your taste. Personally I just couldn't cope with it (and I wear, for instance, Rania J Oud Assam with joy, despite its filthy-nappy open). . Might work for the hardcore devotees of the noble fungus - there's definitely no arguing with its weight or heft. Not for those on the nursery slopes though - this one plays rough.
