Mass "oud"
Boss Bottled Oud was actually my first oud experience a few years ago; it was a blind purchase and was recommended to me at the time based on my preferences. At least that's what the algorithm thought at the time. I added the perfume to my shopping cart, and the algorithm was right then, too, I have to say in retrospect. Would I buy it again today? Well, I don't know, because the oud image you get here is very different from what you get as a western oud. Not to mention the Arabic region.
What makes Boss Bottled Oud attractive on the one hand and on the other hand it doesn't win any prizes? first of all there is the Bottled DNA. Often discussed, we all know the apple, I don't want to bore anyone. Cinnamon and cloves are also in it, so far, so familiar.
Now the oud here works in a certain way with the sour apple and the citrus note. The oud gets scratchy, which is still in the frame. Beyond that, however, it is pervaded by these sour notes, it smells neither noble nor animalistic, it smells like an oud for the sake of the name. Don't get me wrong: I appreciate this fragrance and find this combination exciting because it's not ordinary. But it's more the oud experience for the "little man", who usually doesn't want to try oud at all. It is Bottled; keyword what the farmer does not know...
In this respect, the whole thing has to be well dosed, not overstraining. You can perceive this craftsmanship. Those who cannot classify it will open their eyes wide like me, when real oud gets under their nose. Oud a la AdP is enough, there are worlds in between.
In the end, before I get back to the fragrance, I still appreciate the present flanker. Not for what it seems to be made for, but for what it is without such thought processes: a nice idea how to combine oud and sour notes without exaggerating this scratchy feeling.
There is no great scent course, the H/S is acceptable for the price of the EdP and everyone who like me entered the world of perfume with Bottled, can no longer smell it, but still has subliminal sympathies or is looking for a tarter variation: here we have an idea. But the quality is not breathtaking, that too must be clear.
