Booze and oud with spices, thorough and enjoyable.
Scents of Wood Oud in Bourbon is an aptly named, boozy, spicy blend smelling of aged spices and resins in wood barrels, the prominent bourbon note, slightly sweetened with vanilla, contrasted significantly by a spicy blend of ginger, black pepper, star anise, geranium, vetiver, and woods. So there’s a sweet, boozy side, but this is much less gourmand-leaning that some of my other favorites of the line. The aged thoroughness of the liquid notes seems present, too. It presents itself as something authentically as representing something aged in barrels for some time, dense and rich, evolved and refined. It’s definitely among my favorites of the line and I’d recommend it, especially for cooler weather, though it’s perfectly pleasant as an indoor option year-round.
Oud in Bourbon, like most fragrances in the line, performs excellently, and has the standard brand pricing of $240/38 for 75/10ml, sold by several great US boutiques including Perfumology. I continue to love the 10ml size as a long-term means of getting acquainted with a fragrance prior to committing to a full bottle.
