Nero Oudh

Beautiful scent that turned out far better than expected. I love woody, resinous, incensy fragrances and adore musc. Was hoping for a great experience. What I got was so much more. Fresh supple, clean leather and bright, almost rubber like top note (the rubber top note was gone in 5 mins) but then the leather purred on like a big cat in the sun. I enjoyed the creamy and lightly sweet saffron (without being cloying) as this bloomed then came and stayed a gorgeous accord of sweet apricots in liquor. Adding a golden, sunny and sweet feel. Soft woods, a little smoke and lots of clean musc and no doubt those florals - perhaps magnolia and ylang? The layers of scents were divine. The dry down was warm dry woods and musc with what felt like a velvety violet and ended with powder and a jammy blackberry note. Luscious without ending up in scary tooth achingly sweet territory.

A very bold and interesting woody Oriental from the always over the top Italian house. The scent opens with a unique note of herbal green mandarin surrounded by saffron and bergamot. As it develops one gets hints of orange blossom and slight jasmine and rose. The perfume settles on a dense musky powdery bed of heavy synthetic musk, and Hindi (non skanky) Oud with slight hints of patchouli, vanilla and tonka. Also in the mix is generous amounts of Iso Super E which will ensure that this slight masculine leaning beast will remain on your skin for at least a day. Bold and unapologetic and only for the fearless. Enjoy!

What a gorgeous slept on fragrance. I’m glad this one is not popular honestly, makes me feel like I have such a special fragrance nobody is wearing. It’s very dark and mysterious, but it’s non offensive. This is actually a safe blind buy for any gentleman looking for a luxury leathery oud type scent. Perfect for date night, formal. I get amazing longevity and projection as well. This is an original composition, out of my huge collection it is non redundant at all. Great work Tiziana! You delivered with this hidden gem!

I don't normally write Tiziana Terenzi reviews, mostly because I own just a few, and I am not a huge fan. I find the house, on the whole, to be mostly derivative, bordering on a clone house. That being said, this is a stunning fragrance...sweet, yet dry and very woody...simply beautiful, and one of their best! Still does the thing most TT's do which is make you question its longevity, is it still there? (Exceptions being Laudano Nero and Maremma). 9/10

Today I am picking up Louis Vuitton Ombré Nomad, I smelled them side by side and yes they way too close for me to keep this one, LV shines a tad more on the dry down with leather. I have a few Tizziana creations and they are all fantastic well made high end fragrances. Nero Oudh was an amazing rose oud frag. Highly recommend. Lasts for a very very long time as well.
