Bittersweet Temptation on São Tomé
Cacao Oudh was a blind buy and (thankfully) absolutely matched my taste.

What comes out of the bottle is a dark fine chocolate. Dry and bitter, almost dusty with a fermented acidity like that of the finest raw cacao from Africa... or from the expensive bar at the organic market. The oud has a wonderful supportive effect in this fragrance, providing warmth and depth.

Contrary to the review of my predecessor, I perceive absolutely no animalic notes here; I find it exceptionally harmonious and very decent.

After about an hour, the remaining notes from the fragrance pyramid also present themselves as quiet little helpers. Everything here feels very deliberately placed and retains a beautiful profound artisanal character.

For me, it's a mature dry feel-good scent beyond the cacao gourmand line, simply fantastic!

A big thank you also to Mr. Staudt, the creator of this wonderful fragrance, for all the samples included.

We're Going to the Barn to Laugh
Testing Cacao Oudh was a real joke, in the truest sense of the word. I tested this fragrance creation together with my sister and my mother. I started. Sprayed the scent on a test strip, waited a few seconds, held my nose to it. A sound of disgust escaped my throat, and my mouth corners dropped as low as my facial muscles allowed. My sister already had a grin on her face. Then I passed the paper to her. You know that emoji that is about to bring its breakfast back up? That expression was reflected on my dear sister's face - big grin from me. Then it was passed on to our mother, who, quite daringly despite our previous reactions, cautiously held the paper to her nose. And what did she say? "Clogged drain" - 5 seconds pause - "and poop!" My sister and I rolled on the floor laughing. After about 10 minutes, my niece walked into the room and innocently asked, "What smells so much like cow dung here?" - Laughter from all sides. That none of us had any interest in testing the scent and its development on the skin might be understandable, right? After an hour, I sniffed the paper again - unfortunately still full-on barn smell. After 4 hours, I tried again: cow manure almost gone, now almost only a smoky note perceptible.
But seriously now: I was quite disappointed with the scent, because I really didn't expect it to be so barn-like after reading the reviews and statements here. I find a slight animalic note in fragrances quite attractive, but smelling like I rolled in cow manure is something I’d rather avoid. Oh no, that's not really my thing. But I'm not one to give up easily and wanted to give the scent another chance. So in the evening back at home, I sprayed the scent on the back of my hand (with the balcony door wide open!). But even there, unfortunately, it was yuck and I-want-to-wash-you-off thoughts. The barn smell doesn't come through as strongly on my skin as it does on the paper, but it's still noticeable enough that it's an absolute no-go for me. It may be that the scent develops nicely later on and I might like it then, who knows? But I can't hold out that long. I lasted 15 minutes, then water and soap had to come into play. I kept the test strip, and I can at least say that the scent was still noticeably present even after two days. So I assume it has pretty good longevity. Since I didn't test the entire progression of the scent on my skin, my rating points only reflect what I actually perceived. But really now, even if the scent were to develop nicely later, the farm smell is so dominant and defining for this perfume creation that any potentially pleasant development later on couldn't outweigh or negate the olfactory impression I had while testing.

Dark Chocolate Dripping Over Oud Wood


Once again, a blind buy from me. Saw the picture, read the contents, bought it.
Yesterday, my bottle arrived in the appealing fragrance anchor box. The bottle is cubic, so cube-shaped with a tactile, heavy cap.
Neat and good quality.
But now, let's talk about the scent.
A first spray on the back of my hand and I'm blown away. I expected cocoa and oud and am surprised with so much more.
Soft, creamy, wicked, and dark. Then sweet again, but not too sweet and powdery. At times, you want to bite into it.
It is already gourmand, and with the Indian oud that lingers just below the "stink note," this fragrance gains character and individuality.
I can't get my hand away from my nose.
The first compliment comes from my husband, and now I have to be careful that the scent belongs to me. Too late, he has already applied it too.
Fortunately, the price for the offered quality is reasonable, so he can get his own bottle.

In the drydown, I perceive hints of amber, and the scent becomes increasingly cozy.
Longevity is a solid 10
Sillage is balanced and pleasant
A coherent fragrance that I haven't smelled before, even though other manufacturers have already experimented with the mix of cocoa and oud.
Here in its best form for me so far.
Anyone who loves oud in a gourmand way simply must have this fragrance.

Strong fecal and animalic aspect (poop and barn). So much that I'm not sure I'm brave enough to test it on skin...

Dominant, rich Indian oud, complemented by vanilla and cocoa, giving it a gourmand, creamy feel, yet it remains intensely dark, dry oud.

Soft, gentle cows with big, kind eyes nibble on unsweetened, dusty cocoa powder with a hint of dry, woody vanilla. Peaceful.

Warm, slightly animalistic oud is enveloped by very dry cocoa powder. Perfect for the colder days.

Dust-dry cocoa powder mixed with hard cow stable scent,
contrary to what you might think, I like it, a pity for my fellow humans.

A wealth of real Indian oud, a light sweetness of vanilla and dry cocoa. Nothing like the well-known MGO scents anymore. CLASS!
