A mouth sample
I saw a leftover bottle of Midnight Oud offered in exchange. I'm a Juliette has-a-gun fan, at least I tend to be. I am a self-confessed oud skeptic. I had a conflict. I did it: I traded him. Just out of curiosity. I wore it, too. Three days so far. That's nonstop since I got him. Every Juliette gets a comment from me. So does this one. I can assure you: Now I have a new conflict. The smell is great. But... well, but..
More precisely, it looks like this:
The first moment right away: Oud!
Yeah, maybe not for you. But I have an oud-sceptic nose that is adapted to it zero point zero: Oud. It's not too bad. It is not an oud with a bum factor and also not an oud that seems unbearably artificially sharp and harmful to health, but so to speak exactly the kind of not quite oudic oud for oud-sceptics
The oud vanguard becomes softer after only a few minutes and I would now say I smell rather a little incense with typical Juliette Rose patchouli.
Knowing that birch tar appears in the pyramid, I now smell that too rather than really oud. It's a bit sweetish and I know this is the rose, the typical Juliette rose
Midnight Oud in my nose gets more and more beautiful. It becomes a soft, warm, yet light rose-patchouli leather scent, very nice leather, just the way I like it. But strangely enough, it now suddenly reminds me of two fragrances I already own:
In heart and base it resembles enormously Hippie Rose by Heeley, my favourite patchouli rose leather scent. Midnight Oud is only warmer, sweeter and minimally smoky. But it's the kind of patchouli and that spicy warmth that sets it apart from the rather lighter and fresher Heeley that is found in the beguiling base of Fashion Decree by Atkinsons. I attribute this beguiling spiciness to guaiac wood, which I often like very much. All in all, Midnight Oud Fashion Decree is less similar to Hippie Rose, also because the guaiac wood is less in the foreground than Rose, Leather and Patchouli.
No further change takes place, but the durability is enormous. Also the Sillage is more intensive than the other two.
I can still wallow for hours in a slightly smoky intensified Hippie Rose with a touch of Fashion Decree.
But I already have. Which of the three do I give away now?
The Heeley remains, it is so beautifully light and elegant despite patchouli.
To give the Fashion Decree away would be idiotic, because it is altogether different from the others and at the very end of the base it tops both of them.
But I would like to keep the Midnight Oud as well, it has more power, more intense rose, is not as bitchy as the Heeley and it holds and holds and holds and pleases.
Well? Now I keep all three of them!
Thanks, Bellemorte, for another fine Juliette in my collection!
