Exquisite Embroidery

This is high quality stuff and i just blind tested it at home 20 seconds ago! This is in the same quality as Tuxedo. This is YSL's answer to Montale 'Intense Cafe' + MFK's 'Oud Satin Mood', but done using high-quality ingredients!! :D A blast of delicious sweet pink rose, with the elegance of airy ambergris. The Patchouli then comes into play and for someone that does not like Patchouli, this is god damn BEAUTIFUL mixed with this note combo!! At the back of your nose you get hit by a brown spice like Nutmeg, and a brown musk that is ever so balanced added. There is something extremely addictive in this where you want to keep going for whiffs!! I actually think it might be the Oud they are using for this frag alone. This is also very strong, 4 hours min. on skin im predicting on 4 sprays! 100% shared unisex, 100% signature scent worthy! Leans toward the fem side of the spectrum. This is why i test everything, because i would have never discovered this gem as nobody knows about it. Love it! 4.5/5 Woofs!

This smells incredibly like MFK's Oud Satin Mood (EDP, not the extrait), but perhaps a touch heavier, yet quieter. Truly, there is not much difference other than this stays closer, and doesn't "reach out and touch someone" from across the room - which, I personally don't want or need my fragrances to do. The difference I get with Exquisite Embroidery is in the far-dry-down, where faint suede notes emerge before the fragrance disappears entirely. At the cheaper price point, there's no reason to get a backup bottle of OSM when this will suffice at half the cost. ::chef's kiss:: Beautiful!!!

YSL is doing a really good job lately with those prive-niche lines of perfumes, of high prices but limited availability. I fell in love with Exquisite Embroidery. This is really nice and interesting. Opens with lots of roses and then settles down to nutmeg with hints of musc and patchouli. I am not sure if I would say that this is a rose perfume because the dry down leads more to the gourmand side. Rose perfumes make me feel a bit uncomfortable to pull them off but this one was really wonderful. A solid love from me. Follow my scent journey on instagram instagram.com/scentsexual

I own both this and Oud Satin Mood, both beautiful perfumes but I can't see the similarity - if there's any oud in OSM, the jammy rose covers it pretty effectively, and the rose in Exquisite Embroidery is far less sweet (and I can't smell any vanilla). Exquisite Embroidery reminds me of Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud but with less oud, less sweetness and more ambergris. Smells very expensive and luxurious, not in a sexy but in a very sophisticated way.

For me this is a pixelated and less sweet but very powdery version of Oud Satin Mood. The rose is sweet but less sticky-sweet and less violetty. The ambergris leaves a salty kiss at the edges of the fragrance without being in any way animalic. The powder does remind of Shaghaf Oud, less so Oud Bouquet. The spices here are gentle and add dimension. Very enjoyable and very unisex. Perfect for a mid winters walk on a cool, gusty day.
