Or de Calambac Chopard 2019

I sprayed Chopard in search of an Oud without a synthetic note. In the opening, it is very subdued, but it develops beautifully and diversely throughout the day. The anise note comes across a bit pharmacy-like, and I can also clearly detect juniper and tonka; however, the hazelnut and cinnamon are too strongly overshadowed by the ethereal character for me. Cypress, guaiac wood, and labdanum emerge quite successfully in the base and in the dry down through the gentle Oud veil. I kept envisioning myself as a little boy flipping through old books at my grandmother's house (who always wore Nonchalance).
And in the base, it still smells a bit of labdanum and just a hint musty, but also with a trace of citrus/ethereal, which may come from the vetiver.
The longevity was, in my opinion, rather not very enduring.
Definitely an extraordinary fragrance, but ultimately it felt a bit too flat for me.
