When hopes come true
Hello everyone, first of all a little randinfo about the general relationship between the Ottoman Empire series and me.
The first time I got to know this series was through the OE4, and that was the very first time I had an Areej le Dore under my nose that just didn't appeal to me, even after wearing it several times I didn't warm up to it.
It was just far too bright, far too flowery and simply not special enough for me.
In the hope that the OE3 would be a little more special and darker and spicier, I then bought a sample and tested it, yes it is indeed darker and slightly spicier but it was still too thin and too light for my taste
I had almost given up hope that I wouldn't get any more with the Ottoman Empire range, I had noticed that some people were already talking about how dark Myrhe schocko oud-like the OE2 is.
Since I'm already a big fan of such fragrances anyway and there just happened to be an offer for OE2 in the souk, I just had to go for it and see how I like it, with the thought that I can sell it again if necessary anyway.
A long introduction but now to the fragrance, which starts similarly rosy as its successors but from the beginning noticeably darker and more mature.
Definitely more oud.
As it progresses, it becomes really resinous and slightly sweeter, I think I even detect some of the cinnamon in combination with rose and oud.
Later in the course I perceive a slight similarity to Oud Zhen, if it had fallen into a rose-cinnamon-muscat stew.
It also looks great and the numbering on each bottle gives you the feeling of holding something special and rare in your hand.
