Intra-industrial trade
For a little while, he's just being coy and making a few twists. For instance the woody-sour character of the oud note - by the way one of the more pleasing of its kind - which, after about ten minutes, seems to me to assume an artificially wood-like coconut turn for a short time. Or the trail of vanilla that soon follows. But then it is confirmed what the first sniff at the tube before the application had already suggested: Within an hour (I'm completely with various previous speakers) the similarity of Black Oud to Black Afgano is undeniable.
An impression that will be further enhanced during the course of the day. Now it could be announced in a derogatory way that another clone of the Gualtieri had simply appeared. Outrageous? Not at all. The whole thing happens scientifically founded!
For a long time, trading had been quite simple for the economy. Generations of students had well memorized an example that had been devised some time ago, according to which England supplied cloth to Portugal and Portugal wine to England. Admittedly sounds logical.
But at some point it could no longer be overlooked that industrial nations, strangely enough, were constantly exchanging similar goods among themselves. Stupid - because how does that fit in with the time-honored explanations? The idea of intra-industrial trade was born. This is about product diversity, larger markets, etc. Also an index for measurement, garnished with a nice formula, was invented. In other words, everything that economists generally make efforts to make their activities appear as exact as possible has been put into the world. With which they then pretend that economic processes can be described and explained with scientific precision and for heaven's sake are not the result of a plethora of partly erratic individual actions by persons who perhaps have a few more original behavioural variants than Galileo's balls, Newton's apple or even Heisenberg's blurred particles.
Whatever. Back to intra-industrial trade:
Nasomatto (Black Afgano) - from Amsterdam
Carner (Cuirs) - from Barcelona
Liquides Imaginaires (Fortis - Eau Delà) - from Paris
LM Parfums (Black Oud) - from Grenoble, but Mr. Mazzone is of Italian descent
Hmm. Nothing from Germany. But - o miracle! - at Black Afgano an Elaborat from the Schlossparfumerie Wolff & Sohn Stuttgart is listed as a twin fragrance: P - 100 Anniversary. Unfortunately I do not know personally, but I trust in the judgement of the dear Mr. Taurus1967, who pointed out exactly this relationship in his commentary. There you go. Now all countries involved can simply move the things back and forth according to preference nuances, thus intra-industrial trade and even the science is satisfied.
And when it comes to preferences, Black Oud can undoubtedly score with its own facets. In addition to the above, an individual tobacco note should also be mentioned, which has already been reported in a previous commentary. The overall stronger emphasis on wood (and vanilla) in the second half is also worth highlighting.
But what's most exciting is that Black Oud has sometimes been described as the more uncivilized compared to Black Afgano. I disagree, find it definitely finer, quieter and more elegant. But it obviously offers plenty of room for manoeuvre. Great.
Many thanks to 0815abc for the sample!
