Oudsider

Jacomo's Oud for Men combines a rather unusual blend of oud and juniper berries with a citrus-spicy top note. This is quite different from the usual oud-rose, oud-saffron, or sweet oud fragrances. In fact, Jacomo Oud has not a hint of sweetness, but starts with a rather harsh, almost bitter lemon. Subtle oud and juniper are always present, while the lemon fades slightly into the background after an hour. The spices linger a bit longer, although I can't pick them out individually. From all the note inflation at the base (seven according to the website, besides oud), I can perceive nothing, except perhaps a hint of musk towards the end.

Unusual, exciting, not quite so easily accessible at first, a true outsider. The only downside is the performance. After about 5-6 hours, brother Jacob falls asleep. This bothers me only a little. In the evening, you can always reapply, or switch to a completely different tune without any lingering olfactory dissonances, either way works. After wearing it several times through the winter, I can say for sure: the fragrance is great. Anyone looking to try an office-friendly exotic that almost no one else has can grab this one.
