Body care for your nose - Molton Browns Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold
Less well-known and inconspicuous among perfume lovers is Molton Brown, an English body care manufacturer from the 1970s. More common are the really excellent shower gels of the brand, the perfumes still have it a little difficult. That is indeed one reason for the comment, another one my benevolence for the fragrance line and in particular Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold.
A striking characteristic of Molton Brown perfumes for me is the easy to follow course of the fragrances, their differentiation and time limitation. They have a clear structure and it is a pleasure to smell the smell of what is known to be there.
Often the aroma is also beautiful when it's mysterious and indefinable, but that's another story and another comment.
At the beginning short-term freshness, but this is only the alcohol of the perfume and the bow wave of the flooding of the following notes. Fine oud is present and makes it clear who will be the spokesman in the fragrance process. The oud chords perform their task with elegance and finesse, never appear intrusive but support the other aromas with noble, smoky wrapping.
The spices, also present at the very beginning, are in excellent condition and are resinous, herbaceous and with balsamic spiciness. This spice goes very harmoniously with the smokiness and close to the skin is also a slightly astringent effect to smell (as if you lick a brewed tea bag of strong black tea). The fragrance takes on a subtle oriental feel without slipping into the often encountered heaviness of Arabic perfumes. It remains light, smoky and woody, now spicy and sweet with a subtle tobacco note. Very round and warm, it lasts about four hours, on skin and clothing about seven/eight hours. The smokiness has disappeared, because for me the most beautiful aroma unfolds directly on the skin and is only very close to the body to smell (therefore not so relevant for the stability). A very discreet pipe tobacco with a cherry note shows all its splendour! The humidity of the breath awakens the tobacco again and again and it holds its ground for a very long time.
The bottles resemble the shower gel bottles in type and appearance, but they are made of glass and are elegantly packaged. With approx. 50€ for 50ml the perfume is well paid and radiates, like the gasamte brand, a very noble British understatement. All in all a fragrance with oud for every day and all occasions, but still something very special for both sexes. And that certainly doesn't happen that often.
