With a shake of the head
September 2020:
For a long time, a small bottling of this on paper excellent fragrance lay in my sample tray. Long I waited, when the right time is to try this yet quite expensive perfume.
Then came a day with time and I sprayed it on.
Yes, it's there. Fresh, citrusy, warm, very slightly woody first. Really much develops then also not more. Sure, everything fresh and citrus disappears from the top note and gives the view of the rest free. But there's nothing really outstanding to be found there. The fragrance is warm, spicy, woody, all in all neatly composed. Only justify the price called.... He can not do that for me.
Well, for me he simply does not seem to be, this successful attempt to create an oud for late summer or even summer evenings. Because he is - even if very lengthy and persistent - me too tender, too close, too conservative and classic, all in all just too everyday, goes at the same time but also somehow under.
And when then the last rays of sandalwood and very gentle cedar lose their glow, comes with me also nothing more crawled behind the stove.
Yes, he's there. He's nice. He stays for a while. Also nice. He then disappears again at some point. Still nice.

Over a year after I wrote the above, I'm re-sampling to see if anything has changed, and yes, I haven't posted this review in that long.
Even twice I gave it another chance. But seriously, what's the oud doing in this name? The vanishingly small proportions in the composition are so negligible that it seems outright misleading and makes all the good reviews far from understandable for me.
Those who like it, please feel free. But I have to conclude for me, this fragrance sucks.
It could be any brand. There's nothing here that seems distinctive or special in any way. It's just... a creamy woody scent with citrusy notes.
Top 90 men's perfumes? How did it do that?
