“When you first spray this on you get a huge blast of chemical rubbing alcohol smell, after that evaporates off you get a faint whiff of the saffron and oud. It's not Eau de Parfum strength, it's a very weak smell. I've smelled the Original Oud for Greatness at a store. After the rubbing alcohol dry down in about 10 minutes, it does have an almost identical smell but much weaker. The original I could smell on my wrist for 8-10 hours later. This clone lasts about 2 hours max, and is much weaker smelling and not as nice or rich smelling as the original.The rubbing alcohol smell is very annoying, headache inducing and irritated my skin. The original didn't have that at all. It was extremely pleasant and rich from the opening. I think they put way to much alcohol in this clone and not enough oil, but I'm not a perfume expert.I would say for this one stick with the original, it's much better smelling and higher quality, unless you love the smell of Rubbing alcohol.”
“Fantastic presentation, great bottle, great smell. I don't get the 'synthetic' smell some people were mentioning during the opening. Very pleased with this, cant speak for longevity yet since I just received it. Great bottle to add to your collection for sure !update:Received a sample of the real deal, I must say this bottle is 90% spot on !”
“So, I got this because the low price, but also some of the comments pointing out that this does not have rose note. Well, it doesn’t but Oud is rather faint, or at least drowned out by a strong aqua note.Strong it is, and a single puff on my arm had the whole family make comments, even hours later. As I was hoping for supportive comments on the scent, I didn’t get any.I still think it smells good, even if Oud is a faint subnote rather than the main.”
