For once an oud fragrance that doesn't make me flee
Many thanks to Nick for the bottling of Oud Zhen :-) Here we have an oud fragrance that doesn't drive me into flight. Although I am not thrilled in the end, I am at least a little satisfied. The longevity is strong at around 12 hours and the sillage is successful so far.
The top note starts with a dark and sticky sweetness. It reminds me of ribwort syrup, prunes and a little licorice. The heart note smells oriental, woody, leathery and subtly smoky like oud. It is joined by saffron and a little thyme. The base smells animalistic but also continues to be sweet and vanilla-like with tolu balsam and a hint of cocoa beans.
After my last experiences with oud fragrances, I am relatively mild-mannered here. The Oud Zhen is definitely okay for me.
