The Time

The Time" by House of Oud is a fragrant invitation to pause and savor life’s quiet moments. This enchanting perfume captures the essence of freshly brewed tea, wrapping you in a warm, comforting embrace. The aromatic blend evokes the tranquility of a serene afternoon, inviting you to sit down, breathe deeply, and embrace stillness. The scent opens with uplifting notes reminiscent of delicate herbs and spices, seamlessly transitioning into a soothing heart of rich tea leaves. Subtle earthy undertones ground the experience, enhancing the feeling of cozy serenity. It’s a fragrance that not only captivates the senses but also encourages mindfulness, making each wear a moment of calm in the hustle of daily life. "The Time" is truly a celebration of the art of slowing down and savoring the present. I think it can be worn in any climate and during any time of day. I'm a female, and I love it on me, but my husband also smells divine in it. Unisex and the leanings change by the person, in my experience.

The Time or Thé Time (tea time in French) is a tea masterpiece. As a self proclaimed tea fragrance expert, this is what I had been looking for for years when I discovered this beauty three years ago. In this composition, tea is set on a base of light woods and florals. The flowers aren't creamy or pink, they're airy and aromatic. And oh does this last. I can smell it at the end of work day. Tea scents will never perform loudly like oud bombs; they're not intended for the "notice me in this room" effect, that was never their purpose. However, people will stop you and ask what you're wearing simply because it's an unparalleled refined and sophisticated scent. Subtlety, calmness, elegance, and peace is what tea evokes. This fragrance is one of my signature scents. I gravitate towards it when I want to feel happy. In a more rational way, I also wear this to work and during important meetings or work events as I know it could hardly offend anyone.

Tried this today and both my wife and I fell in love with it. The opening reminds me of a nice tea rose smell even though it's not rosy at all - it's just that pleasant. I'm not good at picking notes but I can say it's spicy, airy, crowd pleasing, comforting, not vanillac or ambery, not too woody, and not aromatic in the medicinal sense. Just a slightly fruity, slightly spicy, floral tea that is hard to dislike IMO. Good longevity and OK sillage. Definitely give it a try if you come across it. Bottle is hideous but oh well. Also quite overpriced IMO so look for it on discounter websites. Found if on Jumashop for half retail.

Fifth essence of excellence, exclusive for lovers of aromatic / citrus fragrances. Opening notes a sensational and Mediterranean bergamot drenched with a celestial chamomile, followed by a green train of Roman wormwood. Very delicate floral central notes blend with the vigorous opening citrus notes. Enclosed in a passionate and very delicate woody background, over time it melts into the skin and turns into a grandiose talc, with slight vanilla assonances. The Time by The House of Oud gives the world exciting olfactory experiences, which ennoble and enrich more and more world niche perfumery.

Quenches your thirst. Well done House of Oud. Smells like sipping an arnold palmer on a tall country club hill over looking the salty ocean! I got a sample of this, but could see myself buying this to wear on a vaction to a seaside village in northern France during the early summer. The Lemon Verbena smells lovely in this fragrance, and the tea notes just make you want to keep sipping/sniffing lol! While anyone can wear this, it's likened for the more mature, and sophisticated. Quite unisex too, which I love!
