So for starters, the name here is completely misleading, there ain't a sight of Oud in this bottle. The composition focuses more heavily on a rich Amber and Vanilla accord rather than a traditional, animalic Oud note. Once you get past this what you actually get is a rather nice Amber Fougere fragrance. The bottle screams luxury and the fragrances smells far more expensive than it's price tag. The initial spray is an inviting blast of warm, aromatic spices particularly the unique scent of caraway, balanced by a brief hint of citrusy bergamot and herbaceous sage. This opening quickly transitions to a heart of Cedar, Iris and Black Pepper The scent turns woody and slightly powdery. The cedar provides a dry, aromatic woodiness, while the iris adds a subtle, refined, and creamy powderiness. The black pepper maintains a constant, warm spicy texture. The Dry-Down has Amber, Vanilla, Leather and Patchouli This is the star of the show. It settles into a rich, deep, and resinous blend. Amber and Vanilla create a honeyed, creamy sweetness. The Patchouli adds a subtle earthy depth, and the Leather provides a smooth, elegant backdrop, preventing the vanilla from becoming overly sweet. Performance is pretty good here, I'm getting a solid six hrs on skin.with a noticeable projection for the first 1-2 hours before settling into a warm, inviting scent bubble. It is powerful enough to be noticed. This is a definitive cold-weather fragrance. The rich spices, amber, and vanilla are perfectly suited for Fall and Winter. If your a fan of rich, spicy, and amber-heavy oriental fragrances this might be worth trying out My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
