Honestly i picked it because i wanted something just for 5 hrs and this one anyways lasts not more than 6. Today it smells bit smoother to my nose. But much softer than before even with 5 sprays. Once ill be done with my sample i wont miss this one for sure.

Fresh, citrus (mandarin, bergamot), spicy, bit sweet, bit mineralic opening Oud is the star of the show Entry-level Oud that is not skanky nor animalic but it is very prominent The Oud here is clean, tamed, smoky, airy and incensy Citrus-Balsamic-Oudy blend.. Very masculine, mature, and serious type of scent Great projection and sillage May be worn in the office and great for evenings and nights out Best for Fall and Winter Powdery, creamy, oudy (agarwood), earthy (patchouli), bit ambery, bit musky, balsamic on dry down Solid, clear glass cube bottle with sharp edges, cube-shaped black cap, great atomizer Great longevity Prominent for 2-3 hours and stays as a skin scent for 4-5 more hours Great overall performance I would recommend M7 Oud Absolu ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is an addictive Oudy fragrance but it is not for everyone.. The Oud eventually grows on you with each wear.. Smooth-Mysterious-Sophisticated..

Im meeting my new lady friend for lunch today, and I'm going to try something new... Im going to ask her to rank a few PdM samples. Ive been meaning to write a bit on my new PdM's but I havent worn them enough in public to see how well they're received. So I'm wearing Carlisle, and will bring 4 others for her to sample. I get to share a hobby/passion, demonstrate that I value her opinion, and I can add a female perspective to my next reviews If she doesnt like it, then she's not the girl for me. ...and it give us something kinda fun to do while waiting for our food to arrive. Seems like a win win win win move. Has any one else ever tried something similar?

Brothers, I have, and love, both. Just curious which one is preferred in the Brotherhoods opinion. Please vote for your choice of a cold weather wearing.

BMA edp: Spicy, woody (sandalwood), incensy, olibanum (frankincense) opening Classy, masculine, dark, woody, rich, and smoky, but not overpowering Moderate Longevity: around 4-5 hours, with a good 2-hour scent bubble Very affordable, making it a popular choice: about $25 DP edp: Prominent woody, incensy, spicy, smoother, niche version, with hints of vanilla in the opening More luxurious, refined take on the woody-incense theme Much better longevity and projection than BMA, approximately 8-9 hours total Significantly more expensive, cheapest would be $250 at discounters Both have subtly animalic but not skanky Oud.. smoky and rich oud with addictive qualities that develops on repeated wearing.. blending well with the other notes and accords.. Final Verdict: You want the woody, spicy, incense scent at an excellent value, enjoy the style but don't need beast-mode performance, or want a great introduction to this fragrance type.. Choose Bentley for Men Absolute. You love the scent profile of Bentley Absolute but crave superior performance, a more luxurious feel, and are willing to pay a premium for a niche fragrance experience.. Chose Bond No. 9 Dubai Platinum.. You be the judge.. remember both were created by the same perfumer Michel Almairac.. is 10x the price point all worth it..? or a little bit of sacrifice on the longevity and quality can compensate for the huge savings..?
