Set - Four!
User "OPomone" has rated the fragrance uncommented and thus without further understanding-forming explanation with a really bad 2, which - transferred to our school grading system - still meant a 6, albeit a good one.
So far or better, so low I would not go, but just not too much higher, just with this school grade-4, so just sufficient.
This first because of a clear theme miss: the fragrance smells namely after everything possible, just not after jasmine and even less after oud. Oud is not even specified in the official fragrance pyramid on the webpage of the manufacturer. Irritating, what drives the manufacturer to call the fragrance "Aoud - Jasmine", mind you with oud even in the first place?
The top note begins unexpectedly inharmonious and with a delicate dissonance, but this does not seem like purposefully constructed - in the sense of "art must provoke" possibly - but quite banal as a weakness in craftsmanship. The pretty clear-cool rose is overlaid by a sticky sugariness, which, by the way, does not smell like honey. These two act side by side, seem disconnected. Indicated are also "green leaves" and yes, there could be a light (synthetic) leaf sap green deposited. Their task remains incomprehensible - a bridge between the rose and the sweetness it is not.
But it gets better and more harmonious, an initially delicate and later even distinct powderiness and velvety vanilla softness (the heliotrope probably) settles soothingly and reconciliatory over the errant top note, the sticky sweetness recedes and now there is a longer beautiful phase with delicate floral powder. All good? Somehow still not, because: Where's the jasmine? I still smell rose and - newly added - the glassy-scented freesia, but no jasmine. And the whole thing is so careful, so unoriginal, so generically set, that the inclined tester begins to wonder who would want to buy and wear this fragrance. And why.
Even the base is not able to wring something new from the subject in any way: Amber, musk and also tobacco are already a hundred times smelled, nice but nixig, the originally times inclined tester yawns now for some time and is really happy, by the way, to finally be able to put on a new fragrance. Something exciting.
What do we have here now? A very conservative, dangerously close to the "madamig" approaching fragrance, with an irritatingly incomplete-looking top note and a pitifully uninspired and arbitrary-looking rest. The promised main players were completely misappropriated.
The durability is just fine, nothing more. A sillage monster he is also not, but that is with an Extrait anyway rather rarely the case.
What should now be a reason to buy this fragrance, especially since he - in contrast to the otherwise at Galimard called extremely moderate prices - comes from the high-priced "Collection privée" series?
I would not find one.
