Masterpiece
I got a chance to test this parfume and I think it is above my expectations. This masterpiece start really heavy, a typical middle eastern scent. You feel like walking in the streets of Dubai. After an hour it gets freshnes. I think the Jasmine and lily does iots job.
This is in my opinion a very masculine parfume. It is suitable to wear in summer.
There is a match in price-quality for sure.

I should probably rethink my Oud classification
Thanks to a dear perfumer, I was able to test some Provenzano fragrances and until now, I thought they were all very wearable for the "average consumer." There are interesting and also just nice scents, and none can provoke a reaction like: "OMG how awful, dentist's office, burning rubber, Puma cage," etc. And then came the sample of Oud al Fayed.

I am not a particular Oud connoisseur. I can't distinguish between different types of Oud by vintage and soil composition, whether Cambodian or Indian. I don't even think I can tell a real one from a fake. I only know that in a 100 ml jar for 120 euros, there can't be any real Oud inside.

And I've also cobbled together a kind of classification, which would surely be ridiculous to a connoisseur, but there isn't another one available:

1. Chemistry, medicine: bitter-sour, sharp
2. Cow stall: animalic, fecal
3. Forest: pine needles, wood, resin

Oud al Fayed has shattered this homemade classification. It contains all three of the aforementioned categories, loud as a fanfare in the ear and in a remarkable concentration. You could use this stuff as smelling salts; it can wake you from the deepest faint. At this stage, I was surprised by the local comments. But the perfume really develops into a rose-raspberry-candy-woody-sweet scent - the Oud is always present, though. For me personally, it's only wearable and pleasant after about three hours, but one shouldn't be afraid of Oud here.

No more flies. It works absolutely! Otherwise, only wearable outdoors if you're camping for a very long time. Or maybe for bear hunting.

The stinky oud overwhelms everything else. Raspberry-rose compote served on a dung heap. Only becomes bearable much later. You have to like it.

Fruity saffron, animalic oud, soapy-powdery musk - a bold, oriental scent that sticks to the skin like glue.

A proud price for a whiff of barn smell :)

Peppery raspberry, earthy and green notes, along with sweet base aromas define the scent. It's not badly done.

Stable and sweat, plus raspberry candies and a bit of rose... somehow typical, just sweeter and more candy-like. Not for me, just too sweet.

Classic saffron-oud scent. A bit of earthy patchouli in the background. Later it turns floral. White flowers. Solid.

Fecal oud very present, a bit of patchouli and a hint of citrus rose.
But the oud dominates everything.
Too much like a cow barn for me.

Raspberry, rose, and pepper set the tone here. Underneath, there's a woody, beautifully rounded base. Always wearable - of course without oud :)
