Honestly, it pisses me off!
The description alone did not bode well. "Animalistically woody" is written there. All the alarm bells rang, sirens howled, the red warning light burned brightly, my inner little angel cried out to me: 'No, don't do it! Keep your fingers or nose off the scent! It's not for you anyway!'
The inner little devil, on the other hand: 'You got the sample. You know what that means. Go ahead and open it Taste the scent and tell about it!'
In this case, I listened to the devil, while the angel turned away in horror and left in search of a clothespin for her nose.
And even if I am not a person who stands up and says 'should have', I should have listened to the angel within me
For an extremely borderline and dubious scent experience followed with Obsessive Oudh by Al Haramain.
The fragrance pyramid is kept quite minimalistic, musk, amber, oud, amber, oud, ah yes. The direction is already clear...
A small swab on my wrist and immediately I am standing in a garden. But that garden is not nice and cozy. This garden is a single misery, completely devastated by a wild and crazy herd of cattle, which has just trampled everything down like a stampede and in a wild gallop still happily let everything fall out front and back, what you can imagine in your wildest fantasies.
It mushes, it steams, it stinks, and I'm standing in the middle of it all, gasping for breath
In addition, this horrible hellish brew eats deep into the skin and spreads its unpleasant breath so intensively that it really makes me sick.
I've never experienced that with any scent before. Although, can I really call this stuff a scent? Scent is actually self-explanatory and I associate it with something beautiful and pleasant
But Obsessive Oudh is not beautiful for me, it does not smell, it does not smell, it just stinks.
So after a while the contaminated wrist had to be treated with water, soap and brush. 4 washes were necessary in total and don't worry, the abraded areas are no longer visible and it has healed well.
The name Obsessive Oudh is already kind of creepy. Obsessive is derived from Obsession. Was someone possessed by the diabolical idea of torturing others with such a scent? Who knows...
Only I'm seriously wondering, why would anyone want to smell like that? I can't think of a good reason why anybody would want to smell that stuff. Except maybe if you want to empty a crowded subway in seconds *devilish laugh*
No, I stick to my opinion, fragrances with such an overly obvious animalism, with such a clear tendency to animal or even human legacies (which brings us once again to possible embarrassing misunderstandings), will never be my direction.
I thank Terra very much for the fact that I have gained a new fragrance experience, even borderline ones should be done and shared with others.
I was told that it could probably be even worse with Sécretions Magnifiques, but I'm waving goodbye to that, I don't even want to know.
Of course I don't want to step on the feet of the fans of such fragrances with these sentences, I know this fragrance direction has its lovers. But I don't belong to them.
If they were to spray this scent on me under torture, I would betray all my secrets.
That's enough for me, I don't want to smell like this, I don't want to torture my fellow men like this and I will also strictly forbid my circle of friends to approach me with this hellish brew, should anyone have the idea to buy Obsessive Oudh
Violators will be punished mercilessly with a massive throw of cotton balls and at least 10 Fleur du Male spray bursts :-D
And I remember this one nonsense song from my school days, which we always sang to the displeasure of our music teacher 'There were two figures sitting on the thunder beam and they were screaming for toilet paper...'
And with this cheerful little song I search for the next fragrant flowerbed in which I can roll around :-)
