Oud Orange Intense Fragrance Du Bois Parfum

A rating of 7.8? That's far too low for me. Of course, this is not an inexpensive fragrance, but what it personally gives me in terms of feel-good moments makes me rave about it.
At first, the scent opens with a dark yet noble orange that does not penetrate the fragrance cloud as strongly as it does on the skin. The scent progression remains very elegant and high-quality, evolving into a beautiful Bourbon vanilla leading to a cozy drydown that is delicious but not overly sweet. The high proportion of natural ingredients is clearly noticeable and sets it apart from entry-level brands in the niche world.
The oud remains very reserved and integrated, yet promotes a certain depth without being intrusive.

For me, this is a fragrance for those who appreciate understatement and have outgrown the Xerjoff Brutalo-sillage era.
