Contemplation in complex

Yes, COMPLEX hits the spot. NOT "bulky", although there are quite a lot of interlocking ingredients inside. Which are to be grasped also at times as "duos", "trios"- "quartet", rarely also "individually". Patience is also required here. Since the fragrance must first slowly unfold not to remain so, but to change again and again. Which remains true to its oriental identity, WITHOUT fulfilling a certain cliché.
Well, I do not need to be "brave" to call "Desert Oud" a character fragrance. Just as a person holds "lovely" and "edgy"-- lighter and darker-- serious and serene--etc.-- characteristics, this perfume brings to light a whole "universe" of characteristics. Some subtle and subliminal, others distinct and transparent.
Could it initially be a "fruity fragrance", as it is bursting here with all sorts of native and exotic, can peel out in the next moment a "floral", with all sorts of flowers from gardenia to rose to jasmine.
In the meantime, spiced with "strict" green like Artemisia, "powdery" like Styrax and "spicy" like clove, pepper and allspice. Hardly a nuance is omitted.
Wood and "sea" are also thought of... As if a magic forest the coast is not far away. Although quite subtly, as if formed from transparent wet- what "blue"- wonderfully fresh.
While at the same time it seems to smell from deepest undergrowth. Grass? Earth? Probably everything that smells "balsamic". Fine smoke from afar.... floral interlude... Juicy fruit-- rushing by and coming back. "Bright shadows" and "dark light" ?
Or is it the other way around? Now I like to enjoy and be inclined to all the fragrances.
Looking at, dreaming and feel good! :-))

Desert Oud + 30 companions

One reads a commentary about a fragrance where one assumes that I will certainly never acquire it but one is curious. You read the commentary, a kind of Leipziger Allerlei was used for the scent, which normally discourages you, but here it makes you curious. That then with a mark, which one had already dismissed, because both the oils for five euro and the smells for a middle three-figure amount could not convince one but culminated in lack of ideas and expression. Nevertheless, one dares to buy blindly and this with a pyramid of scents consisting of approximately 500 characters.
If you know this, you're obviously as much off the mark as I am ;) but there's one thing you don't have to reproach yourself for, at least in Desert Oud, and that is that you made a bad buy. Desert Oud is changeable, but more balanced than other scents from Nabeel where everything that was available was used.
First the fruity notes come through, what exactly is hidden behind them I can't say, but there will be red fruits, that much can be perceived. Strawberry, melon, raspberry etc, I don't know if it's all there and even more I don't smell it explicitly. Now there could be baby food or chicken foot, I would nod off and leave it there. If it has been fertilized, because it smells like fruit after all. The fact is, however, that this fruit basket is not sweet but synthetic-fruity and that in a healthy extent.
Successively pepper sets in, the carefree fruitiness disappears bit by bit. The pepper right after it. The maritime notes then set in relatively quickly. Whatever it is, I can draw two parallels in olfactory terms: the scent of juniper with leather, which we know from Memo Irish Leather and Rasasi LY Ambergris Showers. Desert Oud is in the middle of the two at this point in time; it is not too pungent like LY Ambergris Showers but also doesn't have the multi-faceted depth of Irish Leather.
It's nice that you recognize something, but these are both fragrances that I can't win because of their mixture. So it comes in handy that this reminiscence is of short duration and soon a kind of sweet-spicy curtain is drawn in front of it, with some smears of flowery curtain. These sweet notes smell like full-bodied chocolate with a higher cocoa content but still under 70%, because the scent is not bitter enough for that. At first I thought I had a certain AS of Axe under my nose but fortunately this wasn't the case as Desert Oud has depth. Now I also ponder about the leather in the green dress I experienced before. When I think about it, it was not too much but well dosed and therefore wearable for those who like Irish Leather for example but like it short lived and softened.
A phenomenon, if you want to perceive the smell on yourself, is that the nose becomes "blind" relatively quickly. If you test the scent on another person with a few sprays, I can empirically prove that you can smell the scent very intensely. Furthermore, with the mass of ingredients, it is not the case that cascade after cascade is fired and you are constantly being sprinkled with completely new scent impressions, quasi mirages around mirages while lying in the desert sand and being intoxicated by them. The scent is multi-layered, but does not change its direction permanently.
It gets sweeter, sometimes spicier, but basically the same. This kernel is gently peeled out and smells the same as you know it from Arabic ouds in the lower price segment, at least from those that are polished smooth to form a bond with other ingredients. Here this is quite successful, because we have now a mixture of musk and moss with the moss enveloping the musk just right, really nothing to complain about. Many other impressions waft around this heart for me now.
Whatever is really included here at this price, the fragrance is finely tuned. For me Desert Oud is carefree and will be put on when I can't decide on anything. This one has everything included somehow. My thanks go to Darkbeat for his comment, which made me sit up and take notice.

A dark perfume with its own light

Incredibly pretty. It starts with dark and smoky wood, sweetened by a good dose of fruits and resins, it is more beautiful than I expected. Then it becomes more leather, and it reminds me a little of the suede of Tuscan Leather, but, only for the suede, the rest of the accompanying notes have nothing to do with tuscan leather, this lasts half an hour, and from here It is where the sky begins to open ... Smoked woods with a heavenly incense, leathery and resinous nuances, and a slight amber sweetness, to round off the whole ... I love it !!

The performance is very good, it lasts a long time in leather, the wake is good, but not extremely high, but looking at its price, the performance is excellent.

Perfume of cold climates, and with a night character.
