  I’ve never truly tried oud before, so I only imagine it after smelling other perfumes with that note, unable to distinguish their origins. What happens is that this Majestic Aoud opens with a brutal manure scent, so strong it’s noticeable from metres away and lasts at least three hours, drowning out everything else and leaving the other notes without presence. Then it mellows slightly, but still retains that animal tinge smelling of urine; it’s not my favourite, it smells like a roadside toilet, and the name sounds ironic to me. I suppose the ingredients are top-notch for the price, which many can’t afford, and its longevity is beastly: over 12 hours on skin with intense projection at the start. From my point of view, it’s an unnecessary luxury for anyone who isn’t an oud fanatic, very similar to Rania J’s Oud Assam. EDIT (3-5-24): after years of testing and training my sense of smell, I now love it. The cypriol softens the oud and makes it complex, blending flowers in the heart. Every time I wear it, it comes out different: sometimes more oud, other times more cypriol, other times in perfect harmony or more floral; it’s a mystery on the skin and a chameleon perfume, although the name still sounds a bit pretentious.
