Oud, But Make It Soft
This is an oud for people who don’t usually like oud.

Balsamic and velvety, the fragrance unfolds with an enveloping softness, carried by the rich presence of honey and tonka. Their warmth smooths out any harsh edges, making the composition feel almost golden in texture.

The oud is unmistakably there - you’ll catch its depth - but it leans more woody than animalic, adding structure rather than intensity. A refined and approachable take on the note.

Oud de Carthage Boucheron
Oud de Carthage Boucheron

Boucheron is a jewelry and jewellery house. It is their main activity, but they also have their own perfumes. Oud de Carthage is part of their luxurious La Collection line. It was created by the famous perfume nose Dominique Ropion for the house of Boucheron.
This is an oriental leather perfume, very powerful. In addition to oud, it contains frankincense, honey, tonka and labdanum.
Oud is actually a resin that forms in the evergreen agar tree. When an agar tree is attacked by a fungus, the heart of the tree tries to defend itself against the fungus and begins to secrete this precious fragrant resin that is now more expensive than gold.
The same thing happens to the shell. When a grain of sand enters the shell, it is a foreign body to the mussel and disturbs it, causing pain. Then the shell begins to secrete nacre, and so a pearl is formed, which is in the rank of a half-ship -gem. Thus it arises from pain and beautiful. Oud from agarwood also occurs when a tree falls ill with a certain fungus.
I just put the scent a little on the pulse point to test it. I also have to say that it survived the shower. After the shower it still smelled!!! So care should be taken when dosing. I think two spritzes is quite enough in colder weather. Who loves oud must test the.

The Second Punic War...
.... Hannibal ante Portas...
Sound it from ear to ear and a murmur goes around in the Roman megacity. A small insignificant man, underestimated by the only slightly arrogant Roman senators, cheekily besieges the capital of an empire. What indignation he arouses. Pure insolence of this type
What an impression that must have made. The 37 elephants have made it over the snowy Alps and are roaring along. The colourful standards of the 50000 slightly sweaty and rather harsh looking male soldiers shine in the setting sun. One can literally smell the will to fight
Meanwhile Hannibal lies under a tree, one leg casually crossed over the other and chews peacefully on a straw. Not at all he thinks about conquering Rome. Frugal as he is, the humble man; give him the effort and expense he has taken on; to shake Rome to its core.

The smell:
Starts as surprisingly as the appearance of Hannibal and his people. It begins darkly smoky with wumms.
A rather masculine appearance at the beginning. The honey underlines the rum with dark resinous sweetness and reduces the impression a little bit.
In the heart it becomes cloudy and quite smoky. The Tonka appears and presents itself (not unlike the elephants of Hannibal) and also kills to itself.
Then hardly any change perceptible.
Quite the humble Hannibal at the gates. Shows himself, but stays well-behaved in front of the gates and is enough for himself.

Conclusion:
A quite interesting scent. On my skin, however, a touch too masculine. A clear and very structured sensation. At the beginning it is indeed very noticeable and definitely room filling. However, it diminishes in the course of the hours and is reduced to arm's length A fragrance for surprises and a strong appearance. It's more for the evening or for going out.
A fragrance for clear statements with an immediate aha effect. A fragrance for Punic generals who like to scare arrogant Romans

Honey-soaked tonka beans with subtle leather notes. Oud isn’t really present, more like dark wood.

While it shares similarities with Penhaligon's Halfeti and Chopard Oud Malaki, the honey-tonka-resins-oud combo makes a great scent here.

The best of the same series. Similar to Halfeti in the middle, but much more monotonous than that. The drydown is a bit like Oud Ispahan.
