Oud Save the King Atkinsons 2013 Eau de Parfum

This is a simplistic and linear scent, just sweet oud, dry and powdery. For me it's too sweet and sickly, especially in the beginning. It's also very dry, flat, and warm, so it might be good for cold and wet weather, in which it could prove cozy. I don't know that many oud fragrances, but this reminds me of Avon Absolute By Elite Gentleman in its singular focus. Oud Save The King is smoother and not as rough. Whatever roughness there is, it comes from suede. I can't smell any tea or bergamot in it. They say it's an EDP, but performance is on an EDT level. The bottle fits the scent well. If you want to smell like you've covered yourself in golden glitter, this is your perfume. If you have higher ambitions for your sweet adventure, I'd suggest Prada Luna Rossa Black for dry and sweet, or any number of other sweet fragrances, for example Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme or Cartier L'Envol EDP.
