“This wasn’t exactly a blind buy but if I were blind now I would see. There is a sweet, buttery smoothness from the praline with a faint ever so present hint of rose wafting in the background. The saffron is grounding while the fragrance as a whole is lifting and sedative at the same time. At the mid, the earthiness from the patchouli hugs and envelops you like an old quilt. Although this is a spot-on rendition of Oud Bouquet, the dry down is a bit boozier, sweeter, and longer-lasting. The oud is refined with some heft as it transitions from initial spray to ambery skin scent. This is a winner. Twin for the win.”
