Feels surprisingly leathery, maybe due to the oud. Some bergamot sourness, and some rose. Airy, greenish-gray, with dark facets.
Enyojable.

Indonesian Oud... a more versatile The Night?
Think about a toned down version of The Night. To my nose, Indonesian Oud really resembles The Night, which is a wonderful fragrance, but a bit challenging to wear. That's not the case here, Indonesian Oud is a much more versatile oud-rose fragrance. The oud in IO is different from those you find in The Night. In Zegna's creation the oud is tamed, not barnyard, not skanky, nor fecal. You don't need to wait it settle down before going out. Also, the rose here has been toned down, it's not too sweet, nor feminine, it's a masculine rose. Oud here is dominant, although you can smell the rose, amber and patchouly, everything beautifully blended. It's strong perfume but not cloying. I wouldn't say it's not an office safe scent, but if you are a boss, I think you'll go well with this, specially if buried under a suit. Yes, I think it can be worn during the day, although for most of the people, this is more suitable as a night scent. Overall, this smells very nice, very sophisticated, you can fell the quality of ingredients used in here. Indonesian Oud smells better than some niche fragrances out there. But, despite being a high quality fragrance, it lacks the power and personality of The Night. At the end of the day IO is another oud-rose combo fragrance, but beautifully crafted I have to say. Performance is above average with very good projection and sillage. Longevity is at least 10 hours but it can be more on some skin types. In conclusion: Indonesian Oud is a long-lasting elegant, dark oudy-rose masculine fragrance. Not a blockbuster, but for oud-rose lovers is a must.

One of the best perfume clouds
Very strong oud and patchouli fragrance. optimal durability and sillage, exactly what you want for such a price.

The fragrance starts with a very strong patchouli that calms down over time and reveals the oud more and more over time. The rose notes were only there for me in the top notes and I rarely felt and smelled them over time.

Didn't know how strong it would be the first time I wore it and sprayed too much. Had a blind nose unfortunately but my wife could still smell it on me which was a good sign.

I have tried the fragrance at 10°C and at 18°C, it smelled different in both and the notes developed differently.
Not a safe blind buy
But for me already a win

Very noble & Wahnsinns silage !
I bought the perfume on the recommendation of a friend ..

It is very reminiscent of Ombre Nomade by LV ...

Fruity raspberry with strong oud and other woody smoky notes describe the fragrance best
Very strong silage and great perception ! But also not for the faint hearted :)
