Oud!! and nuts

Noisette d'asie is a fragrance centered on oud (everywhere in the pyramid): specifically on two types: Cambodian and Prachin. The latter is the more particular one that gives sweet anise nuances.
To balance this part of oud and emphasize the woody aspect, different types of dried fruits, tobacco and cocoa were used.
After the fairly cheesy opening, the real soul of the scent comes out with the "balsamic" oud and dried nutty nuances.
Not bad overall, although I was expecting something more "gourmand."

Woody oud

I love the point that the chocolate gives to a powerful oud that is smelled dominantly at the top.
This perfume will delight those who find the our-rosa combination of Oud Damascena (or "The Night" from F. Malle) too overwhelming, as well as having a more masculine scent, very focused on wood. I guess the tobacco note achieves that effect in part.

I would say that its projection power is less than Oud Damascena, in this case it seems discreet, more intimate and close.
Because of this and because of the type of scent, it seems to me more suitable for a more intimate and comfortable use than for a social act.

These types of scents with such a powerful oud and such an original nuance within a natural perfumery approach are not easily found.
Except for the creations of Bortnikoff or Ensar, I don't know much else at this level.
