Oud Odyssey
13:15: Spontaneous visit to a newly opened perfumery. Baby is in the carrier, we actually wanted to go for a walk. "Just quickly purely" in the store and look what there is. Girlfriend annoyed.
13:16: Warm welcome from the employees. It's clear - new opening just. There's chocolate as a welcome. Nothing is spared.
13:17: There are the usual suspects: Dior, Chanel, Prada, Versace. Oops, Tom Ford, good one. What To my surprise, some niche fragrances. I see "Oud for Greatness." Always wanted to try that one! The friendly waitress sprays a single puff from the beautiful bottle onto the back of my hand from a foot away. All I could think to myself was, "Ball this directly onto my skin from no more than 1 inch away, please!"
13:18: My first reaction: wow! What a scent, how wonderful! The waitress in sales mode seizes her opportunity: "Yes! That's just Oud for Greatness! A super scent!" I don't get talked into anything for now, thank her, and take the scent on the back of my hand.
13:24: A walk through the park with baby in the Ruckeli. Baby whines, perhaps because of the novel smell. I keep holding the back of my hand to my nose. "Wow...", then to my friend's nose, "Smells good!"
2:06 PM: I've been smelling the back of my hand for the last three quarters of an hour, feeling it every 10 seconds. I feel a little embarrassed and pretend to scratch my nose (with the back of my hand).
19:21: The scent becomes warmer and more comforting and loses nothing of its beautiful character. What surprises me most is that it smells like it was just sprayed on. How does that work!!! I remember how the waitress from the perfumery sprayed from half a meter on my hand, which impresses me all the more because the fragrance is so intense and "unmistakable".
00:19: Baby in bed. Bedtime. I smell the back of my hand a few more times and dream about the 270 euro bottle. I'm not that crazy to buy something like that. A perfume for just under 300 euros, I beg you!
03:17: Musk rises to my nose in my sleep.
08:50: Moin! The back of my hand still smells light. Skin-deep, of course, but very few perfumes manage that. I can still smell it.
09:11: On the wish list. Not today, not tomorrow, but someday. Just great.
I'm not an oud connoisseur. Not a niche expert. I'm a simple perfume lover: what I like, I rate as appropriately good, and don't dissect into the accords and individual notes. But this perfume is already in a different league from what I'm used to. It reminds me of Tom Ford's Oud Wood, only much more powerful and long lasting. To go along with the above story, the nice employee had also given me a spray on a test strip. A day later, I walked into the room where the strip was, and I smelled the perfume in the room. I think that two sprays will really serve you well and the fragrance will be worth its price. A fragrance not for every day, but for the big moments.
