Evening tea time with a WOW effect

I think the title of my review already gives it away...contrary to other opinions here, I really do take a lot of tea in the opening.

And the opening is exactly what I love about this fragrance. I have to admit that when I smelled the fragrance for the first time, it took some getting used to, because I didn't know this rather dark tea note. Especially not in combination with the citrusy bergamot accompanied by a rather present sweetness. But the more I smell it, the more addicted I become.

The fragrance then actually doesn't change that much. Of course, the citrusy opening described above fades and the fragrance becomes rather soft and woody-sweet. The sweetness and a little tea remain and some leather comes through. It's like falling back into a leather armchair and enjoying a cookie after the first sip of tea. And to be honest, I think that's quite enough! The fragrance starts beautifully and stays beautiful and even really pleasant!
If we now take a look at the price-performance ratio, you could almost fall out of your leather chair again...I bought the fragrance for 130 euros for 100 ml and can assure you that the fragrance has a top shelf life (skin: approx. 10 hours; clothing at least 2 days) and sillage. Of course it's not the most creative fragrance, but it's still unusual and well made. Certainly a good starting point for those inexperienced with oud. Great fall/winter fragrance, what more could you want....?
