Drunk with love
"Oud For Love" makes you drunk. The whisky note comes out very strong, at least in the beginning. Too strong for my taste. Luckily, after a while, it subsides. Apart from that I find cumin very dominant, but that doesn't bother me at all. Also the Tolu balsam comes out clearly for me, which I find very pleasant.
Speaking of love. My beloved Laotian oud is certainly making its presence felt in the process. However, as in all the perfumes I've come across so far, it's very tamed. Unfortunately, there's no trace of the slight animalistic touch that all my pure Laotian ouds have. The other animal notes castoreum, hyraceum and musk don't really show either. So you don't have to be afraid of wild animals when you try "Oud For Love". They are quite sweet. Too dear for me, who likes to play with them.
I would have expected more from vetiver as well. Pure it is one of my favourite fragrances. It doesn't really come into its own here. But maybe it's too much to ask for in this firework of notes.
All in all, I find the fragrance very wearable, but I was hoping for more - and in the case of whisky a little less - when I looked at the notes. So there won't be a love affair for me with this fragrance, even though I find it quite beautiful as it progresses.
