Perfect interaction of oud and rose

Perfume description: The very strong presence of the animal oud in the first minutes attracts a noble rose, which then harmonizes wonderfully over the many hours until the perfume fades away. The high-quality oud remains dominant throughout, but is somewhat tamed and successfully rounded off by the rose, making it much more wearable.

Personal approach: During a vacation in Abu Dhabi with an Arab friend, he took me to the chic perfumery "Arabian Oud" with sparkling eyes. Impressed by the oriental ambience, we smelled the atomizers of numerous oud perfumes. Searching for a high-quality and strong oud, I paused at the "Majestic Special Oud" and could hardly take my nose off the bottle until I finally sprayed it on my wrist. The power of the oud left such a deep impression that other perfumes that I used for comparison seemed uninteresting to me. When the majestic oud was joined in the drydown by a beautiful, not too sweet rose, which on my skin really harmonizes perfectly with the oud, I knew that I had found my personal oud perfume.

Durability and Sillage: The perfume lasts an impressive 12 to 16 hours on my skin, projecting 4 to 6 hours. Even after 2 or 3 days I can still smell it on the clothes I was wearing at the time.

Flacon and packaging: The orientally designed flacon lies heavy in the hand and gives an overall high-quality impression. Because the metal cap alone weighs almost as much as the flacon, including its contents, and its base is quite narrow, there is a risk of it toppling over when standing still. The packaging used is a hinged box decorated with imitation leather on the top, which underlines the high-quality impression of the flacon and is ideal for storing it.

Conclusion: The name "Majestic Special Oud" keeps what it lets hope for - it is a really high-quality oud, which is perfectly rounded off by a noble rose. Neither other ingredients are used on my skin nor can I detect a real scent. For a meaningful comparison with other oud-rose perfumes I am a newcomer and lack the experience values.
