Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
The opening isn’t its strong suit: it smells like classic Jovan Musk with a brash floral touch, but by the time it dries down, it transforms into pure gold, wow! I’ve smelled Tom Ford scents that don’t come close to this. The dry-down is spectacular; no one would believe it’s Jovan or that it costs what it does. If you can get your hands on it, don’t let it slip away. The final oud is intoxicating and addictive.
If you fancy an incense scent… an absolute beast for a ridiculous price… I feel like I’m floating in a cloud of incense… absolutely divine…
As the name suggests, it’s intense. At first, the oud takes charge, but over time, by magic, it turns floral. Despite this, it might be more suited to men than women because it’s not a delicate floral, but a strong one with a masculine edge. The trail is moderate depending on how much you apply (I like to go heavy). The first time on my wrist, I didn’t like it much (too woody), but by the time it dried down, it changed drastically, especially thanks to the rose and patchouli. It’s very economical yet elegant. I was surprised by its evolution on the skin; it’s one of my favourites and I recommend it 100%.
It looks synthetic, but for this price, it’s a sin not to wear it. Rose, saffron, and patchouli at the start, with oud in the base. Projection: 8/10, scent: 8/10, longevity: 8/10, even better on clothes. I repeat: for the price it has, if you like oud, don’t think twice, try it, and it projects better than many luxury perfumes.
