“This is super affordable and the presentation is phenomenal. The bottle is heavy with a cool soft-touch finish, the sprayer is incredible and even the box is nice. I have niche fragrances that have lesser presentation.I got this because it’s cheap and I want to see what an Oud fragrance profile is something I’d want to invest in. I was just dipping my toe in as an experiment. Nope. No, no. No. This is not for me. All I get is a thick cloud of sweetness with an admittedly pleasant saffron note. And it sticks. I did two sprays behind the ears, I even tried to wash it off at lunch to no avail. It hung around me like a cloud. I don’t get the woodiness at all. It must be some kind of abstract concept of wood that is above my comprehension.I don’t regret buying it. Heck, the bottle alone is so cool. And maybe I can layer it with something down the road. Maybe in the winter when the air is dry and cold. But for now apparently I can’t handle Oud.”
