The bright joy
Those who flinch violently at the keyword oud may still be able to relax with the latest Collection Extraordinaire offshoot.
Although this eau de parfum noticeably contains eaglewood, according to Anne Flipo this is more like burnt oud, which is supposed to be quite intense, but here it is warm and soft and has been steamed down to a translucent level. The result was an oud note that is present but absolutely soft.
There are also some gourmand notes, such as date and vanilla, whereby the latter, together with frankincense (perhaps rather benzoin), makes it look as if some light chocolate has been used. Also goes very well with white, light musk.
The date in turn gives the whole composition a fine, delicately fruity-sweet underline, whereas the rose appears more as if breathed in.
Oud Blanc remains, as could not be expected otherwise, quite linear. And it's no surprise that the date runs out first and oud with white musk remains most consistent.
Well - this is all done quite well, even if the wheel is not reinvented here. What we have here is an extremely pleasant autumn scent that brings together the components of soft oud with unobtrusive gourmand notes in an exemplary manner. For hardcore oud aficionados rather uninteresting - for beginners a welcome opportunity.
