The cunning tongue that only speaks dirty things and rolls around visually before others like a pig in the mud. The tongue that you can hear clicking when it reaches peaks... The tongue that licks all sinful lips and gets aroused when a few drops of blood land on it.
Yes, Black Oudh is not for pure and lovely souls - for this is truly a deep dive into the black souls of perfumes, surrounded by cool smoke - thickened animal notes, swirling resin, and eerily throbbing spice pods. Ash, which soon spreads out, gives the perfume a thick, black coating that clings to the head like latex and robs some of their senses. Wood, rich and firm in its appearance, underpins this as if heavy sins were resting upon it.
So it goes for the first 15 minutes and only gets blacker, deeper, and more sensual over time. The swirling resin skillfully caresses the nose while the burning ash wraps around the body like a snake. Smoke, rich and cool, hangs over the hot head, never moving forward, even if the wind roars fiercely through the area. Black Oudh remains steadfast and seeps into the body cells like a hermit. It proves to be a restless, black stallion that can no longer restrain its aggression. Yes - I like it!
After four hours, calm slowly returns - the black coating is far from crumbling, but allows itself to be caressed by earthy components. After nine hours, it becomes totally composed, and the black coating slowly falls away.
Black Oudh is like a cunning tongue that wants to frighten people but also attract them.
I find the stuff quite cool, even if not extremely high quality.
There are certainly better candidates, but if you like the nasty ones and enjoy ashy/scratchy scents, you should definitely consider this specimen. For the price, there’s really nothing to complain about. Longevity is really good, sillage - shadow eater!
Okay, I'll give it another try, but I find it quite synthetic and nothing special about it. What really is true, though, is the price-performance ratio. You really can't complain about that, as you mentioned.
