Guerlain / Oud Essentiel
It would never occur to me that this is good old Guerlain, that Guerlain of discovery, primal, historical and unique, and not the one of recent years.
As a fan of oud, but the dark, masculine, strong ... with incense, wood, factory, workshop notes - I am enchanted by it.
I'm not a fan and I feel sick to the smell of a rose in men's perfumes and a combination with similar oud - for example black aoud Montale (I don't like me and for me it doesn't smell like masculine / something else on a woman's skin).
But I really like the smell of the unique dark aoud Montale, devoid of that sweet rose.
And here we have, among others, a rose with oud, wood, incense and leather, all seasoned with herbs. and here "surprisingly" I do not feel this rose too much, some delicate note, but served in a strange way (it does not make me sick, it does not smell feminine, flowers ...), even this smell inspires me and makes me addictive ... yes - IS ADDICTIVE.
The smell is very persistent, long-lasting and unique, specific (similar to dark aoud, LM black oud).
I recommend it to all fans of agar / oud served in a dark, mysterious, addictive, strong, workshop manner.
I got to know this smell thanks to a sample of my friend who gave me a smell and ... I lost it. I was to order a dark aoud Montale and I ordered a bottle (125 ml) of oud essentiel Guerlain. SUPER drug ;-)

The lie of the oud ?
Before my blind buy as with very many perfumes from my collection I had done a lot of research and read up a lot. I must say the opening is as described by all very medicinal oud, which comes very artificial with a leather touch. Then it starts to turn greenish with a rose. The scent progression is very linear ... The performance is not bad with a longevity of over 12 hrs on clothes. A big negative for me is the sillage. On the whole, I would rather go for "Ecstasy" from the house of Tiziana Terenzi because it is better in my opinion. The perfume name is for me a bit wrong because it has little to do with oud. There are definitely far from better fragrances in the direction than him

Santal Royal cheap clone
Why did guerlain release this one?? it is almost identical to Santal Royal and i didn't like both, as a middle eastern i smell such stuff a lot anywhere so it is not unique for us, maybe westerns will find such stuff likable.

This scent is horrible, Synthetic and not even worth the half of its price, if you're looking for a good designer oud based perfume then it is Gucci Intense Oud, the best safe oud you can buy and it smells wonderful and has a beastly performance but this one is a huge PASS.

A very powerful spicy-woody scent where the oud is maybe too strong and covers the other notes. Unisex, but not very adapt to women.

Gorgeous bitter dark westernized oud scent, metallic, leathery and spicy. Seriously underrated.

This one is very similar to Santal Royal. There's no Oud here. I smell rose, a little bit of Saffron and a leather accord. It good though.

Piney non-medicinal oud without a lot of development. I wouldn't call it essential. Their Rose Nacree has a better oud note. Derivative.
