Boozy and Sensual

I really didn't like the opening on this one when I first got it. It had to grow on me. Very similar opening to Raw Cherry on me. The boozy amaretto dominates on my skin until the opening dies down. This is where for me, the magic happens. The plum note steps forward and with that backbone of vanilla and smooth oud shining through it allows the amaretto note to do it's thing and they all work in harmony brilliantly. This is good for formal occasions, nights out or date nights. The blend is very well done and lasts quite a long time off my skin (8-10 hours) with a loud 3-4 hours before dying down to an arms length projection.

Perfect introduction to anamalic

This is so.. so.. so nice. Yes I'm exaggerating the SO for a reason. This is ever so softly anamalic, it smells like sex in an EXPENSIVE smoke shop.. This stuff truly is a woman's man's scent. It's powerful, and screams 'when are we fucking' to be completely honest. So good. I have haze extreme and oud noir on each wrist atm. And oud is winning..

C'est une dinguerie

Ce parfum est un chef d'oeuvre , je suis passé par oud for greatness de inito, au coeur du désert de tauer pendant plusieurs années , agneta de E&B , falcon leather de matières premières , charnel de BDK mais je dois avouer que aaron pour ce parfum était en total immersion avec la création, c'est juste enveloppant , agréable, et très complexe.

La longévité des ATH est de notoriété publique mais l'OUD noir dure et offre plusieurs facettes dans son développment , il se comporte comme une compagnon qui marque et heurte votre propre esprit en vous rappelant qu'il est présent au cours de toute la journée.

Mes félicitations à l'artiste, ce n'est pas de la parfumerie mais c'est de l'art , de la peinture olfactique.

Autumn Release AKA Oud Noir

Someone made a topic on the English side of the forums asking if people were looking forward to Autumn ,and after 9 months of winter weather I had to answer absolutely not as this topic was made at the beginning of summer, so we were getting our first bit of sunshine after 9 months of a hellish winter weather, but then when I got a sample of “Autumn Release” I went back and changed my answer in that topic that I did have something to look forward to, and it was the full release of Oud Noir which we knew as “Autumn Release” at that time.

Oud Noir has similarities with Haltane from Parfums De Marly, but both are different enough that owing one doesn’t make the other redundant. I would say Oud Noir in its early stages is a deeper darker scent which does end up nice and sweet like Haltane in the dry down

What I would say is that they have moments where they meet up with one another like twins on the same path but then verge off and do their own things. If you like Haltane you will love this IMO.

The opening gives me a slightly boozy liquor smell from the Amaretto along with some bitter leathery notes from the saffron.

It has great projection and as the bitterness starts to subside you will begin to get a stronger leathery scent with some fruitiness and a very smooth oud which is neither medicinal nor skanky at all. It really helps boost the projection which will be great for the time of year we are in.

The notes will swap places now and again instead of going through one stage and it being gone until the next time you wear it the phases will repeat here and there with some of the notes popping in and out to say hello for a moment and then allowing another to have its time in the light. This goes on for roughly three hours before getting to my favourite part.

The best part for me is when we get to the dry down and it does start to come closer to the skin but not a skin scent. However it will be with you until the following day ,and what it is, is a beautiful sweet fruity scent with the vanilla, plum and benzoin creating this sweet fruity vanilla cake kind of smell. It is just absolutely delicious. No it’s not sickly sweet either.

So if you are someone who likes leathery fragrances you are sorted. If you are somebody who likes sweet fruity scents you are sorted. If you are someone who likes fragrances that have great longevity and projection again you are sorted.

I give it a 9.5/10 because I am not a huge fan of the bitterness of the saffron but because the fragrance changes so much it is only half a point worth from being a full 10/10

Longevity 10/10

Bottle 50ml are the best pressurised bottles with great atomisers I own.

Projection when at its best 10/10 and it tones down to roughly a 7.5-8/10 so I will give it a 9 to round it off.

Enjoy
