Clean Oud

Clean. I have often seen this fragrance brand here, but I haven't had the chance to test even one scent. Now, thanks to a lovely Parfuma, I have received some samples… uh, oops, I am clean,… I meant some samples :D
Okay, that joke was probably a bit lame, but at least you can pretend to laugh. After all, it's still Christmas! :DD
But you have to admit that "samples" rhymes suspiciously well with "drugs," and Parfumas and Parfumos are known to be addicts… uh, of samples, of course…!! He he he.

Well, let's start with the scent. Just because of the brand name, I would expect the fragrance (as well as all the scents from it) to be a bit clean, maybe even slightly soapy… but we shall see…

**The Scent:**
At first, I smell some incense as well as oud. Both notes are clearly detectable, even though they are not particularly strong. The oud is a bit weaker than the incense and does not smell pungent or harsh, as it can sometimes do.
Additionally, there are slightly sweet, powdery scents that are stronger at the beginning, but within five minutes, they don't disappear, but share their place with the spicy notes, which I cannot identify.
Later in the base, it actually smells almost the same as it did at the beginning. You still mainly smell incense and oud with sweet notes (I believe the sweetness comes from musk and jasmine), just everything is a bit weaker, but also softer, powdery, and,… as the brand name probably already suggests and I thought too, cleaner.
A little leather comes into play, but this note is also very soft. Overall, a scent that is quite weak, but smells soft and clean, making it pleasant.

**The Sillage and Longevity:**
Yesss…
The projection is really not the best. The scent hardly stands out and when it does, it is really only up close.
The longevity is a bit better and could be described as simple average. I mean about five to seven hours.

**The Bottle:**
The bottle is rectangular and has a very thick glass bottom. The sticker on the front is white, square, and you can see the name on it. The cap looks like it is made of wood, but I can't say for sure since I only know the bottle from pictures.
All in all, not very spectacular, but quite okay.

Sueded Oud is a simple or (in terms of projection) weak scent that smells warm and soft. It mainly smells of incense, oud, clean, and slightly sweet notes. In between, there is briefly something spicy, but that quickly disappears or recedes into the background.

I think it is good for occasionally spraying on oneself at home (on colder days). It could also be a subtle going-out scent, although then the fragrance will of course mostly be for oneself.

All in all, quite good, as long as you like clean notes, but don't worry, clean doesn't necessarily mean soapy :D
