Rose Oud Alexandre.J 2012

This is my very first Oud fragrance, although I can imagine that this is still far from the "real" Ouds. My first thought is that I am annoyed why such a treasure is kept away from us "in the countryside." Personally, this fragrance has opened the door to further Oud- or Arabic-influenced scents. Suddenly, I realize how sad it is that you can hardly find independent perfumeries anymore.... But about the fragrance: I often distance myself from rose scents, but this one is wonderful! I also wear very few syrupy drops, but this one has just enough of that. This fragrance is like a faceted, colorful glass, whose facets sparkle in different colors or appear matte. The fruity notes are absolutely delicate and are in balance. This perfume is also well suited for younger, fashion-conscious women. The sillage is underestimated by oneself. The longevity is excellent. I love to spray it on my hair (too). I would also love to try the iris scent from Alexandre J.....
