“After spending several years in the Middle East, then returning home to the states, there is much I miss, oud is one of the things I miss most. Thank heavens for amazon, and Swiss Arabian companies!!!! I ordered some oud, it was so, so...but they sent me a package several months later, a promotional package, with many different samples to test....and darn it, now I also want one of the colognes they sent...thebone I am writing this review for....IT IS AMAZING!!!! And I am not a perfume/cologne kind 'a gal...I have worn it for the past month, and had numerous compliments...afraid I will have to wait for my next paycheck but I am definitely getting it...I am a teacher, and it is very hard to get 290 teenagers to agree on something, but they all agree they love this fragrance!Thank you Swiss Arabian for the sample package, you have made my homesickness for the UAE a little more bearable....”
