What should I say? Overhyped? definitely maybe

As a fragrance lover, you can't avoid the OFG. It's always described so beautifully and wonderfully that I decided to get it myself.

I thought wow, a beast is coming towards me “excited huhu”... bought-unpacked-tried it out.
Yes, okay nice - pleasant to wear, soft, not annoying.
For my feeling, it’s wearable anytime and anywhere, I don’t find it heavy. Also unisex with a touch more towards the masculine.
No overwhelming sweetness and no dominating oud. Nice one and the bottle looks great in the collection!

It's not a beast and it's clear I've smelled it before, namely Baccarat Rouge 540 mixed with Tom Ford Oud Wood.
Both fragrances are among my favorites, I need a mix of them, I thought. But I actually always reach for BR540 or TF Oud Wood. If I want oud, Acqua di Parma Oud is my go-to (but that’s another story ;))

What should I say that hasn't already been described...
In any case, a very hyped fragrance for me, just from the scent experience already overhyped.
Well done - definitely
Unique for some - maybe

In the end, it’s all subjective, but I can see why some people celebrate it... just not me, I sold it... hihi

Definitely. It was the first "niche" fragrance I fell in love with right away. Absolutely amazing.
OfG is good too, but in my opinion, it's not "special" enough to justify the hype. The dry down is really nice, but it keeps reminding me of something else.
Maybe it's just so popular because it's ultimately quite accessible. (Except for the price).
