The Adventure Suit Fits!
Yes, yes, it's a thing with oud. Personally, I find the hyped agarwood only semi-appealing, but in the right combination, it has something special. This is the right combination! :-) I generally like many fragrances from Acqua di Parma. One or two from the "Blu Mediterraneo" line are definitely worth having. Even the bottles suggest a high degree of naturalness (whether that's true, I don't know), but in any case, they do not cater to the masses or the celebrated niche. Presumably, in "Oud (Eau de Parfum) | Acqua di Parma," the rose that is almost always used with oud would have also flowed into this creation.
With the multitude of oud fragrances, it is by no means a given that the namesake is also the heart note, but in this case, it is unmistakable. That's already a plus point. The clearly noticeable oud is accompanied from the start by citrus-herb nuances and a bitter-woody foundation. All together, this creates an original scent character that I have never smelled in this form before. In any case, unlike many other oud fragrances, I do not associate it with any furniture polish, even though I find the first minutes quite piercing.
Oud Eau de Parfum skillfully combines elegant seriousness with a hint of desert adventure, somewhat like James Bond hunting over sand dunes in the Sahara in his signature wardrobe. There are certainly worse scenarios one could associate with a fragrance, especially since this one is, for me, wearable in any season. Longevity and sillage are top-notch with a fairly linear progression.
