Unisex, though slightly more feminine
The opening and top feature a bright rose. There is some saffron present, but the rose is what dominates the top notes. A little further along the way I pick up some patchouli, but cannot really make out the listed violet and heliotrope. The oud and leather combination in the base is unmistakably familiar, especially in combination with saffron and rose.

It lasted quite long, but it wasn't too loud. Seems like a sophisticated fragrance in that way, although I'm personally still not quite sure about the scent. It has some unisex characteristics but leans towards the feminine side of things. Though definitely wearable for both sexes, I personally would not wear this. So my bottle is probably going up for swap. You can contact me if you're interested.

Smooth, oriental sexyness to spray on! ;)
First thing, the stakes are clear... ...I got myself a bottle of Versace pour Femme Oud Oriental. Blindbuy, so not just a quick and unloving test drive of a little specimen in passing, no.. full blast! :D I just put it on my forearm again, because I felt like it... ;)

I came up with it at the time because I love Versace men's fragrances so hot, especially "Man" and "Oud Noir", and then I thought that this fragrance, the feminine counterpart, must simply please me too. So I wanted to have it on principle, and preserve it for posterity. Ideally, my girlfriend would also like it when I have one again. "And if I want to share it at all... ;)

Apropop's girlfriend, a test person I had him tested, didn't like him at all, - because he was too "ladylike" or "old" for her. Whereby one must say that she was unfortunately prejudiced, because of a different opinion...

I, on the other hand, find this a completely premature conclusion and perceive it quite differently:

Oud Oriental is extremely dense and strong in the opening when you have just sprayed it on. A rose surrounded by a velvety, fluffy, sweet but really striking veil blows in your face.
Kind of like a desert wind, almost a little too hot.
And all this can be a bit overwhelming, I think many give up at this point.

On the other hand, if you resist, and don't smell too close to it at the beginning (just let the silage work on you... spray it on your forearm to test it or something), you will notice how the scent plays around you with a sweet, really pleasant, and interesting composition.
In the course of time, the somewhat "stuffy" from the opening withdraws, and what I perceive as a slightly fruity, oriental note comes through, which is unbelievably sexy and beautiful.
With woods, and delicate oud and saffron, which gives the whole depth and dimension.

I enjoy the scent so much on myself that I don't even get to think about whether I would really "carry it out" as a man... When you smell it you have gold in your eyes
Wow, he's really sensationally beautiful
I also like the fact that it is "borderline" adult, so when a young woman wears it she doesn't look old, but confident and aware of her charms.
So I don't think at all that you can be too young for him... ok, under 20 some young ladies won't "feel" him because he can seem a bit heavy and voluminous to inexperienced noses, but OO is really wearable at any age, I think
And despite the orientalism and sensuality that it radiates, it is a perfume that can be used in everyday life without being negatively noticed!

I really like "Oud Oriental pour Femme". I admit that it can be a bit challenging, like a wave in the sea that sometimes hits a bit too high and almost shoots you in the nose... because it's just very strong, and its odorous texture seems very dense
But whoever wins it will be more than just rewarded here, with his sensual, individual, oriental, yet pleasing manner.

From my point of view it could also be a feminine counterpart to "1 Million Absolutely Gold", in the best way possible! ;)

I hope I could give you a good impression of Oud Oriental, and I cannot emphasize enough,- give him time and patience, then he will give it back to you in gold ;)
