Very, very strange.
To me, this does not live up to its name. Kind-of. There is wood, definitely. Agarwood. But it's a strange oud. It's not that authentic horse-manure oud like you find in Xerjoff Al-Khat or Thomas Kosmala Bukhoor, but it isn't that medicinal oud you find in lots of designers either. It's a very sweet oud, and if there is patchouli here, it's a very sweet patchouli too.
While the oud is not medicinal, this does smell a lot like medicine. When I was younger, when I got sick instead of taking antibiotic pills, I drank this strange pink antibiotic liquid. This smells just like how that antibiotic medicine tasted. It's very strange.
This projects a lot, too. People around you will notice you, even if you go anosmic to it. Half a spray should do for most, and this is coming from a chronic over-sprayer. Thankfully, the sprayer mine came with is amazing and you can really control how much you spray.
So overall, do I like this?
I can't really tell if I do or not. It's sweet, and strong, and medicinal, and strange, and conjures memories of drinking the most disgusting thing ever made as a child. It's worth trying even if you know this isn't your cup of tea just to experience how strange this is.
