Do you like cloves?
So... Ouragan. This guy here... WHY WAS IT DISCONTINUED?
Just so you understand why I love this guy: my colour palette is basically brown, I have my signature brown explorer's/fisherman's hat, put a brown coat on my shoulder, my not-brown-but-actually-green bag (of holding) hangs from that shoulder and goes across my body, like Indiana Jones. All of that just because it's practical. My friends say I look like I came out of a cartoon. I won't deny their verdict.
Sometimes it feels like I'm a walking wooden wardrobe, a mobile museum, especially with my trinkets. And, for me, this perfume fits this idea perfectly.
Ouragan starts off citrusy, a sweet citrus scent. I think it may be orange, from what I've seen. But then comes the cloves. Sweet cloves, not harsh. It feels like it wants to be aggressive, but doesn't want to commit to being aggressive, so it stays soft. Remarkable, distinct, but soft. Like Shaxs, from Lower Decks, who looks like he'll break you in half, but he's just a cute marshmallow inside. Aggressively gentle, which is such a weird sequence of words, but it makes so much sense at the same time.
I'd have this guy as my daily driver, but, for some reason, I think when Coty acquired Bourjois from Chanel, they discontinued this beautiful guy. I'd trade Equateur for Ouragan on an instant. I'd trade a lot of perfumes for this guy, actually. I sparsely use mine, because I know there won't be another bottle afterwards.
Coty, if you're reading this, someone in Brazil still wants Ouragan. And maybe send some Equateur and Acier here too, while you're at it. My Masculin Equateur Eau de Toilette bottle is past half empty, and I've never got to try Masculin Acier Eau de Toilette.
