Smells like Copenhagen Snuff
On the sprayer, this smells identical to natural (unflavored) american snuff. Traditional snuff production, as I understand it, is a much more involved process than cigarette or pipe tobacco production. The plant is cut at the stalk and hang dried in a barn where hardwood smoke is used to aid the curing process. The leaves are then coarsely cut and packed into a hogshead to age for up to 3 years. When removed, the tobacco is finely cut to 120-140 cuts per inch (shredded) and water is added to increase the moisture content as the tobacco is packed into an open pile to ferment for around 2-3months. Salt and ash are the traditional flavorings used. The final moisture content is around 50%. It's interesting the different number of things oud can smell like.
The opening has this snuff smell- moist, soil-like, teeming fermented smokey tobacco along with unsweet chocolate. The chocolate fades pretty quickly, and about 30 minutes in the rose comes out which is about when the fragrance begins to smell remotely 'wearable' to me, not that I don't like the beginning. The rose lasts for quite awhile. I'm glad I was able to sample this. Not sure I want 48ml of it though. Too bad Adam won't divvy out the remaining supply into smaller quantities
