Yet another Rose-Oud?!
What can you expect from that scent at such a high price?! Since the expectations are openly not fulfilled, especially with certain brands, only the fragrance is described/evaluated here. And I want to be as objective as possible.
In principle the Nebulous is not for everyone. He certainly won't be a big "Crown-Pleaser" because of his prelude. When sprayed on, it goes straight into the heart notes, i.e. oud (probably Hindi, of high quality) and violet. The violet completes the oud and makes it wearable for those who are not used to the natural oud scent. The rose stays (luckily for me) far in the background and doesn't disturb the composition at all. Is it animalistic? Maybe only in the beginning. It also depends on what kind of standards you use. By and large (and compared to other Boadicea the Victorious fragrances) it is quite tame. The combination of oud, saffron and musk gives it a leathery-woody character, but it remains somewhat blurred. You won't find any edges here.
After about 2-3 hours the base notes come into play. At this point the main conversion takes place. Here the fragrance becomes very velvety, slightly resinous and sweet (but not sweetish). This will probably be the representation of amber. It is light brown and glowing; with traces of rose, which is always hidden in the background. Nevertheless, almost nothing remains of what you smelled in the beginning.
It is a discreet fragrance (because there are less attractive fragrances from the brand), but certainly not the best in this category. If you want to go in this direction, you should try the cheaper "Dead of Night" from Strangelove NYC. "The Night" by Frederic Malle would also be a good candidate.
In conclusion, he is not impressive. The only surprising thing here was violet, which you normally would not find in such fragrances. In terms of performance, the fragrance was not heavyweight. Although you can see all the notes very clearly here, the sum remains quite "nebulous", so I think the name fits quite well.
