غصن مقطوع اخضر
في تقيمي للعطر راح اخذ منهج بسيط جدا يسهل علي صياغة الكلام وكذالك احول ابعد عن التعقيد
الرائحه : ريحة غصن مقطوع سقط على الارض ( هذا بدون تعقيد ):) يعني فيه ايحاء ترابي
الاداء : فواحان ساعتين ثبات 7 ساعات

هل العطر يستحق الاقتناء : من واجهت نظري اذا كنت فوق 30 وتبغا توقيع شخصي بسعر ممتز ممكن هاذ يكون احد الخيرات

Loud as name suggests. Loud synthetic dry, musky, spicy fragrance
I did like exploring the Laboratorio Olfactivo house. I bought Oud in White and Exploud from their store in Roma. Now I dont understand why did I purchase Exploud. Not because its bad but because I could have got another scent profile than this.

Exploud opens with peppery, nutmeg, and some synthetic musky notes. As fragrance sits on skin for couple of hours, I observed that only sysnthetic musky smell was there. It can be a good musky scent (its dry wood, spices and synthetics creating musk like scent I believe) but after certain point, I get bored of it and its loud! not easy to wash off!

I wear it when I am going out in the park or outdoor activities. I fear it could be very strong and annoying for the indoors.

Longevity and silage are moderate to high. 12-20 hrs on easy longevity on my skin. Very good projection. Definitely not for blind buy.

oud bomb
opens extremely spicy of course with all the spices listed in the notes. It’s an almost overwhelming amount of spice, but it mellows out as the scent develops. The heart turns from an aromatic and warm spice, to a fresh spice with wateryflorals. It feels much fresher and much lighter. The florals are a nice contrast to a tonnn of oud in this, it sweetens the scent a bit too. The dry down of this is an oud bomb ofc, and the name is very fitting lol. This thing is crazy strong, only 1-2 sprays is enough. Way too strong for my liking but as oud scents go I think this one is alright. It offers a bit of a fresher & floral contrast to heavy oud but still too much for my personal preference.

Wonderwoods' Italian Brother
After Vanhera from the same house became one of my favorite fragrances after much back and forth, I tried to test the remaining scents from the brand.

ExplOud was the last one I got to smell. I regularly looked at the extensive yet relatively simply structured fragrance pyramid. The top notes are very spicy, the heart is floral (?), and the base, as expected, is woody/Oud-heavy. In fact, I didn't know what to expect, as the other LO fragrances, especially from the black line, did not convince me much. Eventually, I participated in a sharing and received 5ml of ExplOud after about 5 days.

With ExplOud, you can actually orient yourself quite well to the given fragrance pyramid.
The opening is very spicy and almost fresh, with pepper and nutmeg clearly noticeable, while incense is less prominent.
After about 20-30 minutes, a slightly floral note joins in, but I suspect that molecules like magnolol were rather mixed in to give the fragrance a bit more longevity, not to actively contribute to the DNA.
The base is primarily composed of sandalwood with pepper/vetiver and a touch of oud, with the pepper gradually receding into the background, making the scent a bit rounder and creamier.

All in all, a beautiful spicy wood scent with a strong pepper opening reminiscent of Wonderwood (generally strong similarity). Beautiful craftsmanship from the house!

Pleasant spicy wood. Quite dry feeling. Mellow (not funky) oud notes.
Not exciting, but pleasant - good value for its modest price.

Extreme scent profile. Masculine leaning. Must try before buy.

Laboratorio Olfattivo is usually awesome, but this is a big no. Head dries down quickly to a soapy, chemical and irritating smell.

Not overly masculine despite its notes.
Nice paired with a fig body lotion to bring out the sweetness

A disgrace to possibly put real (?) oud in this mix. Oud, incense, flowers? Not a chance. Mainstream synthetic horror.

The brand annoys me anyway with its aggressive synthetics and then also with artificial oud notes and no edges or character.

What you get is what you see - Oud! Strong-masculine-razor-sharp-slightly medicinal. Plus frankincense & woods. The Oud is too dominant for me here.

Smoothly rolled mixture of pepper, nutmeg, and pseudooud on an opaque, slightly malt-black rubber ball. Overwhelming, yet flat.
