The Lawyer of Ouds
I speak here on behalf of my client. Mr. Oud has asked me to convey the following to you:
I would like to express my strong displeasure, not only about the mere mention but also about the fact that the adjective "Pure" has been placed before my name. To speak of "pure Oud" and then to forcibly associate me with two chemicals, despite being a representative of natural ingredients, is not only unpleasant but also damaging to my reputation.
I am in no way dependent on the accompaniment of such substances and find the behavior of the defendants not only misleading but also ingredient-centric. I can provide the notes you have so prosaically embellished in your advertising, if only you had given me the appropriate freedom to do so.
Not only do you boast on your website about adding me in a concentration of 10%, but you actually have the audacity to refer to this amount as an "immoderate dose." The artisan artists who extract me from the wood with great effort and love allow me to shine in high-quality Oud fragrances with concentrations of up to 30%. And they do not feel the need to apostrophize such processes with the word "Pure," but simply let me speak to the noses of fragrance lovers.
You harness me as a draft horse for your advertising cart and still do not consider it necessary to adequately describe me or at least my provenance, thus imposing a high risk on unsuspecting buyers. Given the current selling price of approximately €1,250 per bottle, I consider your behavior irresponsible.
For the reasons mentioned above, I expressly distance myself from the product "Pur Oud | Louis Vuitton."

Postscript from the Oud Lawyer:
In fact, the fragrance is not unbearably bad for a niche brand (Caution!!! I am explicitly not talking about artisan or independent brands, in whose hands Oud should actually remain and would likely be processed much more appropriately and of higher quality). I would compare it to, for example, "The Spirit of Dubai - Baz | Nabeel." It is quite animalistic, but not barnyard. It then becomes woody and unfortunately also somewhat soapy, which can be attributed to those terrible notes Helvetolide® and Ambrettolid. That would be like painting a finely polished cross-section of beautifully grained root wood with opaque gray acrylic paint.
What adds to the difficulty is the astronomical price, which is certainly called for largely due to the resonant brand name and with the knowledge of a very solvent clientele that is only satisfied if the fragrance bears this and no other brand name and also ensures that the price is so high that not just anyone can buy it. You would probably spend even more. In this regard, the pricing is understandable from the producer's perspective, and anything else would be foolish and lost profit from their point of view.
Anyone looking for an old oak table made of solid wood should not do so at a very large Scandinavian furniture chain and should also independently verify whether it is indeed pure oak wood.
