Cheaper than a northern lights nightlight that won't work from Temu, This entry from The Yorkshire Soap Company is simplistic and unremarkable. But, with that said, if you are looking for an unoffensive, pleasant experience for very little penny pounds, this could do a good job for you, like a grubby, enthusiastic mechanic. It does demonstrate how decent end results can be made with few ingredients, which is the only thing that is interesting about it. It sort of smells like a Temu version of Oud Save The King by Atkinsons. It is warming and simple - Oud is the main note, it's sticky, resinous rose-in-hyperdrive is noticeable throughout. You also get woody base notes, likely from cedar, as that is a very common and very cheap ingredient. There is a slight bit of fragrant spice that lingers like a lurking burglar in the back, waiting for the Oud gate to open, before coming in and quietly stealing your prized possessions, of which this perfume will not be one. A perfect perfume to wear when going to bed in winter - used in this way it lends a comforting warmth to your pre-sleep rituals. I would never wear this perfume on a special occasion - it is far too simple for such a thing. 6/10. I really like oud, so it gets an extra point for that. Otherwise, it's bang average.
