Often I have ignored fragrances that have appeared on this page for the first time. I always look at the scents and sort them out. For example, if I read mint, ambroxan, Iso-E-Super and cowshed oud in a new fragrance, it will definitely not be on the watch list. But I never really know in what proportion these notes are contained in a perfume. Could be that only Cowshed Oud is perceptible. Then the scent, if I knew and accepted that before, would have made it on my watchlist. :)
This "thinking error" was revealed to me with this smell.
Vanilla...Rose...Oud...
If you read this (over and over again), then you may sort out the scent immediately. I would have expected a typical rose oud scent with a little more sweetness. But I was wrong. These notes are included, but not as present as I expected. Because it is according to my nose rather a Tonkanillerosenduft.
Across the Ocean starts slightly fresh, sweet-floral and discreetly woody-oriental. Here you can already see that the oud is not the keynote. It doesn't show up in the heart note either. I do not perceive the citric notes indicated.
After 15 minutes there is a fabulous harmony of sweet notes and roses. The whole thing doesn't look too feminine, because the roses don't look old-fashioned or soapy, but rather tender and lovely, and are dosed in moderation. How much I smell of tonka or vanilla, I don't know. All I know is these notes don't smell squeaky, sticky, nutty, creamy or gourmand. Rather balanced, fine and gentle. I would estimate the ratio of the sweet notes and the rose at about 7 to 3. In addition, the fragrance has a kind of clean, light freshness most of the time. It makes the sweetness light but not necessarily fresh like a summer scent.
And so the scent remains until the end. No big change, although the scent then becomes paler and paler.
By and large a simple fragrance. Not necessarily innovative, but unique, because the relationship between the two main components has been successful.
And what did I learn? I am not allowed to come to an assumption because of the indicated scents and must always consider the possible quantities/ratios of the scents.
