Is this Oud now?
Most people know TF Oud Wood, I'm sure of that. In my case, it was a blind buy and, like so many others, I was not disappointed.
I actually ordered it because I thought it smelled like Oud - a beginner's mistake, I know.
But I just wanted to experience the most celebrated raw material in the perfume world.
Since OW unfortunately couldn't give me that and was simply "just" a wonderful combination of warm, spicy, and woody notes, the search continued and I stumbled upon Fragrance du Bois Oud Noir Intense.
Here too, the apparently very multifaceted Oud is supposedly not too pronounced, but as an amateur, one should get an idea of where the journey is heading.
Especially in the somewhat unusual opening, I am greeted by a scent that I associate with damp, sweet wood and a certain mustiness. Is this Oud now?
However, ONI develops quite quickly into a similarly warm spiciness and the wood seems to dry out a bit, the sweetness reduces to a minimum.
I get the vibes from TF OW, but something is different.
Is this Oud now?
Unfortunately, I don't know, but I definitely know that Oud Noir Intense increasingly distinguishes itself from Oud Wood as it progresses, even though the base is the same.
It appears more noble, higher quality, and somewhat better balanced.
As for longevity: where OW slowly fades, ONI picks up the pace and continues to project.
It lasts on me for at least 10 hours, the sillage settles after about 4-5 hours but still remains close to me; I can perceive it well from time to time and that makes me the happiest.
All in all, a wonderful perfume that will replace my OW as soon as it is used up. Even though the price is significantly higher, it is worth it for me.
Only this one question remains in my mind: Was that Oud now?
Maybe you can help me ;)
