Caramel Oud

كراميل عود

Ard Al Zaafaran / ارض الزعفران التجارية

Starts like a cognac praline...very boozy...hazelnutty...then the sweet caramel comes in. After a few seconds, the alcohol subsides and it becomes warm-chocolaty, milky-creamy, slightly woody-floral, vanilla-like. I like the nutty-lactonic notes. The sweet caramel also remains. This is a perfume that needs to "mature" before you can appreciate it. This is why the first impression can be a little confusing. However, the performance could be a little stronger...otherwise it is a really beautiful gourmand. Very individual. I am happy to have it in my collection...awesome
