An example that Avon can sometimes do
When I discovered this perfume about 6 years ago, it made a very good impression on me. But back then I hadn't discovered so many agarwood-rose scents.
Today, when I am familiar with many similar fragrances in this climate, Premiere Luxe Oud no longer makes much of an impression, being one of many similar perfumes combining rose and oud.
Knowing high-end Arabic perfumes, it is difficult to admire Premiere Luxe Oud, but it must be admitted that in the budget price category it is a very well-built composition.
In addition, Avon is famous for the average/poor quality of its perfumes, but in this case they tried to make them of quite good quality. At such a low price, this is commendable. We also have, by Avon standards, a scent that is clearly different from the pleasant but bland mainstream flowers or fruits that the company most often serves. Unfortunately, this niche nature also turned out to be a disadvantage, because the fragrance is no longer offered by the brand.
It is not a unique or particularly rich composition. Its core consists of moderately sweet, dark and oily rose and oud in a European version, far from the dirty agar resin known from Arab perfumes.
It is the rose in a dark, slightly decadent version that determines the darker character of this fragrance. And basically you can feel mainly these two interpenetrating notes - rose and oud. Together they create an aroma effect in a Gothic, oriental and a little retro style.
The background of this super duo includes dry, sweet praline and earthy patchouli, both "additives" nicely enhance the composition, adding chocolate nuances. I don't detect any other notes apart from this quartet, maybe a bit of pepper at the very beginning.
It's hard for me to say whether this is a typically feminine perfume, because the rose has a lot of masculine element. I think it's unisex with a slight tilt towards the feminine side. However, if it is to be worn by a woman, she must be mature, somewhat mysterious and elegant.
On men's skin there is less bud rose jam and more chocolate rose with a woody undertone. The aroma does not suit young people or T-shirts and sneakers.
The parameters are also above Avon's poor standards. Longevity ranges from 6-7 hours, but projection for the first hour is considerable. Then it's moderate, but you have to wait a few hours to reach the very close-to-the-skin phase.
Premiere Luxe Oud is not something phenomenal or sublime. It is a secondary composition, but at the price at which this perfume could be bought, it was a really good scent, especially since previously it was difficult to find something similar and so well constructed in such a low price range.
The bottle is very nice, it resembles an elegant Greek column and its burgundy color reflects the contents well.
