Rose-media wood combination on soft base
Bois 1920 is already busy churning out the odd scent or two. There are really nice pieces, for me the fragrances tend to go in the more pleasing direction, but mostly well done and still with niche appeal.
So now at Oro Bianco a rose with wood. One or the other yawns, there are quite a few rose-oud combinations. Besides, you could end it here, write a "read pyramid, get there" statement instead and save yourself a comment. But I think the scent has something, so a few words more.
It's a citric start. I don't smell ginger explicitly, but a slight pungency is already present at the start. Maybe there is also some wood involved. The rose is also there very quickly. However, in the top note rather than a light floral note, the clearly recognizable rose comes only in the heart note The heart is then already very clearly dominated by a lot of rose, but also with a light, slightly medicinal wood content. Even if here the guaiac wood is mentioned and "noble woods", it could also be a medical oud without animalism, often described as western, which has its appearance here. This combination with rose and medical wood lasts quite long. You have to like this type of wood. Together with the citric entrance you can also combine a freshness or at least lightness with it.
After a longer period of time the rose withdraws slightly, the medicinal part becomes softer and warmer and then the appearance of the vanilla actually comes. However, very discreet in combination with still quite light but then much warmer wood. Sandalwood obviously helps here. If you smell it carefully, you might be able to sense the vanilla earlier, but it's more subtle. In this slightly vanilla base, the scent remains rather close to the skin.
A very beautifully composed fragrance, despite the light somewhat medicinal woods, it does not appear aggressive. Absolutely wearable and unisex, I like it. It reminds me a little bit of the "Royal White" by Charriol, which is very much appreciated by me and probably (probably) discontinued. For me the Charriol is a bit more oud and less soft in the base, in addition a bit more independent. If you like and miss it, you should definitely take a look at the Oro Bianco. Its bottle with white and gold is similar to the colours, but in the shape square instead of round like Oro Bianco.
