Plum, Oud, Leather

This is a dark smokey oud and leather fragrance with a sweet plum note. I love the dark deep oud, resinous, and leather in this scent. But the plum note really hangs around on my skin and distracts from the woody resinous aspect of this fragrance and for some reason that just bugs me.

Overall this is very nice fragrance but not a Ted Lapidus I will buy again. I will stick will TL Pour Homme or Black.

If you like fruity oud fragrances than this is likely one to check out.

Gone With The Smoke

There’re difficult reviews, which need more time than others… This took until the cold came again and I pressed the spray; I ordered another backup bottle right now and started this text.

Well…. the smell: Smoked and dry leather, burned on a dark and dense wood.

It may not sound like a desirable fragrance - and I get it -, but I find it fascinating.

… Add soft notes of bitter coffee and cocoa with a subtle plum hidden between saffron and incense: Voilà! That’s it.

It’s clear that it isn’t a perfume for everyone. Okay. But It's mysterious, it has style… And it’s also different and daring.

TL Oud Noir is perfect to wear with a black leather jacket, and seriously: This fragrance makes many famous leather perfumes smell like children's lollipops.

For the cold: Solid projection & duration, a winner without qualms; not for fearful hearts, this is a rebel perfume.

The quality is the best of designer and right now it’s available at a ridiculous price (…). This one and Oud Blanc are the most exclusive releases from Ted Lapidus, so it’s a special aroma, yes… but it ends up becoming very addictive.

So wear it at your own risk. Or not… Who cares? I already have my backup bottle, so about your relationship with this perfume: “Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".

Dry Smokey Oud

Initial Impression short review

Very dark, smokey, and dry. Don't be fooled by the sweet notes of vanilla, praline, etc., I feel there is just barely enough of those notes to not be offensively bitter and acrid. This is slightly bitter and acrid, but in a good 'sat close to a bonfire' way. The beginning brings a very rubbery oud, which gives way to the main smokeyness- perhaps they are going for burning/burnt oud feel? Maybe someone more familar with that could tell me if that's accurate, but I really enjoy it anyhow.

In comparison, I had bought Amouage Interlude for the smokeyness, but it was too sweet, so I sold it. I am not saying they smell anything alike, but I much prefer this dry smokiness to the overly sweet oppoponax of Interlude. Performance also is nowhere near the Amouage, obviously, but decent for the $30-ish that I paid.

Edit: After a while the sweet notes cone out to play, but only slightly and definitely not cloying. More like a smoked plum feel, without being excessively opulent. Highly recommended, but not for everyone.
