Up front, it's best to skillfully ignore the first 5 minutes after spraying it on. I understand how you can associate this with the smell of cheese. For me, the prelude has but rather what of sage. Granted not the fresh sage that grows in the garden. More like sage candy. Old, musty sage candies. Has one this yet something
getting used to overcome, one has very quickly an old acquaintance in front of him. Tom Ford's Oud Wood, but in noble garb. The similarity no one can deny, but this one is even more special.
A bit more wood, a bit more spice and not quite as soft as its supposed twin. Additionally, it still contains the typical Fragrance Du Bois DNA. I would describe it as herbaceous, green and spicy background notes . All in all, it's a lovely scent that just gets very skin deep very quickly. In my eyes it is only minimally superior to Oud Wood in terms of durability and sillage

of the yet very promising fragrance pyramid, I let me get a filling of this fragrance. After the first aufprühen I was very surprised how from the listed notes could arise such a fragrance? I gave it a few hours, but improvement was none in sight.

What I smelled? Exclusively pungent hairspray with powdery notes and that for several hours. Where was the oud that is already promised in the product name? I was very disappointed, because it was so not what you imagined with these ingredients.
After many hours then did something. He became much quieter and this pungent note faded. Rose and some patchouli came to light. Unfortunately, however, that was not compensation enough for the previous hours.
Maybe I was too gullible, at just over 100 € Uvp for 100ml to expect something that smells like qualitative oud. Possibly rose oud is also not my fragrance.

Finally, to have said not only negative about him, you have to credit him but his durability, because that is really powerful.

Why test beforehand? Better to buy right away I thought. So it should be. When it finally arrived, I left everything and dedicated myself to the fragrance. Unpacked, sprayed on, smelled, deeply disappointed. This is it? It had to be tipped. In desperation, I ordered myself a bottling from a reputable source. When this arrived and smelled exactly like this, I tried again and again with this scent. To no avail. I just didn't like it. Although we have left the house together only once and he otherwise comes maximum once a month to wistful test purposes to use, he stands after about 3 years still between the fragrances I really like.
Why I can not explain. Maybe I secretly have the hope that we will still be friends. After this debacle I swore in the future to test every fragrance before buying, of course I lied to myself.

But now to the essentials. A voluminous and intrusive fragrance. It smells to me like vanilla and lavender, synthetic, bitter, creamy. What in principle must not smell bad. In this case, however, the notes bite each other in my opinion, which I blame on the lavender. It just doesn't smell round overall. The durability and sillage, however, I would rate as good. Also the Flacon is very respectable. Fortunately gibts of it also which with content of the me like.
