Oh wow, you’re thrilled. We don’t quite agree here; something about this really annoys me. I had it in front of my nose years ago, and I didn’t like it at all. Now I got a sample again. I actually found it better this time. Just a little :o)

I've noticed that too. But we can't always like everything equally well 😉

I'm skeptical about the floral notes, but otherwise it sounds very appealing!

It looks too floral intense for me.

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

Yes, they are definitely present, but well integrated, so it's not just a pure floral scent.

The older EL fragrances are something special :-)

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

Yes, I think so too. They had such a special aura.

I still think it's wonderful. I especially like to wear it in the fall.

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

I think so too, it has a timeless quality to it.

The main thing is, it fits :-) Sounds like a lovely Lauder!

You're absolutely right about that.

Truly a very lovely scent...

I definitely wouldn't disagree with that.

I prefer to eat the raspberries.

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

For me, it was somehow seamless.

A beautiful scent, despite all the flowers.

We completely agree on that!

I also looked for the wood back then and found a huge red rose in patchouli. Unfortunately, I didn't like it as much as you did.

I don't know why, but I found it very harmoniously integrated here.

I agree with Gandix...

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

But that doesn't bother me here at all.

It says "Rose" in big letters....

I know, but it's integrated so beautifully here that it doesn't bother me.

I don't necessarily need this scent; there are already a lot of roses in it.

Translated · Show original

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

That's true, but I find it nicely balanced.

I actually prefer it when there isn't so much (artificial) wood used.

Translated · Show original

ParfumAholic 1 year ago

You should be spared from that here 😉

Sounds very well done.

He is indeed very harmonious.

It's more classic and wears comfortably....

I completely agree with you!

That's true. The scent smells completely different from what you would expect based on the name, but it's still so appealing that I really like it and I'm glad to have my remaining bottle.

I think so too. Sometimes it's really nice when things turn out differently than you expected.

Definitely well done, I like this direction.

Translated · Show original

I find it - in the best sense - pleasing.

Seems to harmonize wonderfully.

Everything fits well together for me.

As long as Leather-Oud doesn't smell like some candidates :-)

No, I think it's really well done overall.

It used to be quite a cult classic.

I missed it back then, but I really like it today.

I had avoided it because of the many flowers/roses, but I should give it a try.

It's too sweet, as it's enveloped in resins and spiced with patchouli and super soft oud. I only perceive the raspberry as a fruity background noise. Super beautifully and richly composed, it never feels overwhelming despite its density. No woodiness, no mystique, but still a great scent!
