Joyful peach fruity floral

The name of Oud Wood & Amyris is quite misleading, as I only briefly perceive a passing smoky note at the very beginning, which might be associated to oud or amyris but probably stems from guaiac wood and papyrus indicated above.

The fragrance then proceeds to turn fruity. During the first 30 minutes, I can detect a fresh spicy undertone of coriander and a delicate creamy touch of sandalwood. But they're eventually lost in this joyful, succulent peach, adorned by the green rosy hue of geranium, the golden warmth of ylang ylang and a pinch of the tarry sweetness of thyme.

The sillage is relatively close to skin, and the longevity is around 6 hours. Although the name surely implies a traditionally masculine woody fragrance, I can't stress enough that Oud Wood & Amyris actually wears more like a fruity floral with enough subtle nuances. As long as one is not deterred by the initial short-lived smoky woody opening, I think it would make a lovely and affordable peach fragrance.
