Bravo! Applause! Hats off!
Virtuous is the fitting name for this fragrance. It is truly virtuosic and wonderfully composed. An allegro of scent components!

The rose is already present in the top note and invites comparison with Regal, but this fragrance is significantly finer, softer, and more feminine than Regal. The heart note is floral, but joyfully floral, unsweetened and very elegant. Alongside the rose, jasmine and possibly ylang-ylang also play a role here. The emphasis is certainly not on the rose.

Even in the base, Virtuous is not as dark and not as woody as Regal, but fine and soft, almost creamy, with a very very light and delicate sweetness, yet without woods, and I cannot perceive any animalic notes either.

Virtuous is a fragrance that I would definitely wear. It suits almost any occasion, never appears overdressed, and matches almost any outfit. I would also say it is unisex, but it is significantly finer and softer than Regal.

Virtuoso! Yes, that fits. I have to agree with Pont Neuf, this is truly a wonderful Oud fragrance.

The opening first reminded me of Regal by BtV, which may be due to the rose note in combination with Oud, but this comparison only lasts about 10 minutes before the rose note dissipates.

With the heart note, a sweet fruit note joins the Oud. Whether it is really peach, I cannot say for certain, but the result completely matches my taste. This accord is now maintained for a very long time.

After about three hours, Virtuous becomes a bit spicier and the fruit note diminishes slightly.

Compared to the Montale fragrances with a similar theme, Virtuous is significantly softer and more complex. If Oud Safran was already great, then this one is even better! Virtuoso indeed.

Luminosa, thank you very much for the sample!

First Boa scent that completely blows me away...probably due to its strong similarity to Fars! Dreamy, sweet, and velvety oud..give it a try:-)

cool + cool = Ice Roses. It hardly gets clearer and purer. As if this scent "Ice Roses" paints itself in the air, very elegant Unisex for sure.

The opening is a bit sharp. Then warm and sensual!
Opulent deep rose sensuality with sex appeal

beautiful soft rose-oud scent. The rose here is more soapy. The opening is "menthol-like," while the heart and base maintain a certain coolness.

It smells very strange on me... campfire with oud - extinguished with pee...
Nope, this scent really went down the "drain," sorry...

Reminds me of a few Arabic oils I've tried, but Virtuous, despite being pricey, doesn't quite match the Arabs.
