An Oustanding Understanding
... that's how I connect Hind Al Oud's reference to perfume art. By chance, or rather by Can777, I came into the pleasure of a sample of this extraordinary Arabian and when he offered me the bottle, I could not say "no". Hind Al Oud fragrances are almost nowhere to get in Europe. So much for that.
When first spraying on immediately screamed at me the bloominess, as I have not known it before, which is also to infer from one or the other comment. This fragrance you have to get to know and not immediately throw the shotgun or the saber in the grain. This yelling lingers for a while and becomes softer than one might suspect, but still remains present and the oakmoss (my upstart in fragrance notes) takes up its work, with the oud also coming out more. As described in my statement earlier, there's no cowlick or manure coming through here, though there's no denying a slight animalic note. This combination of concise florality and oud may not please everyone, which unfortunately can be seen in the rating, but also testifies to a willingness to experiment on the part of HAO.
After many hours (durability easily > 10 hours) actually only the flowers have the say, the oud moves slightly into the background and the musk drives his mischief, which does not bother me personally. I see the strengths of Barari in late spring, when the first rays of sunshine hit us, but also in the summer, if it's not exactly around 40 degrees.
My conclusion on this is that what Hind Al Oud touches, hands down, is not for the general public - which could be argued with this fragrance - and is/are for those who seek the extraordinary. As already mentioned, you have to get to know the fragrance!
THANKS
