“I was not ready to be stunned like this.. I have a pretty expensive collection, so thought I’d try this cheap clone id heard about to see if I should buy the real stuff..I was BLOWN away!This is like a denser darker version of Tom Ford Oud Wood.The opening smells very alcoholic and quite synthetic, but nevermind that. The opening lasts for no time at all.. the dry down comes quick, and powerful, and it is an absolute beast.2 sprays an hour ago can choke a room.. I’m a 5 spray kind of guy, but with this I do 1 and rub my forearms together and it’s still noticed by all.In layman’s terms, this smells like dark dry fungus growing on the bark of some giant ancient tree.It’s classy and masculine. Dirty yet clean.It’s useability is somewhere between Oud Wood and YSL Tuxedo.The bottle is heavy and looks and feels expensive.In Conclusion,Just buy it already you cheapskate.You want it, and you won’t be disappointed.”
“Smells identical to Oud for Greatness, it has a bit more spice once you first spray it on skin but that subsides very quickly. Presentation is also A1, more than worth the money spent.”
“The package is nice but the smell is not. I frequently travel to the middle east and this scent has no oud in it. My frank opinion is the smell is similar to a burned piece of wood with a sweet smell similar to piss. It does not get better after you wait an hour as others are mentioning here. Go to a sephora store and ask to smell gucci oud or indonésion oud. Don’t buy this unless you like to burn your mo ey and stink.”
