Advocate of the Oud
I am speaking here on behalf of my client. Mr. Oud asked me to tell you the following:
My annoyance, not only at the mere mention, but at the fact that my name has also been prefixed with the adjective "Pure", is hereby firmly expressed. To speak of "pure oud", and then to put me as a representative of the natural ingredients yet two chemicals forcibly to the side, is not only unpleasant, but reputation-damaging.
I am in no way dependent on the accompaniment of such substances and find the defendant's conduct not only misleading but ingredientist. I can alone provide for the notes prosaically embellished in your advertisement, if only you had given me the proper freedom to do so.
Not only do you boast of including me in a concentration of 10% on your website. No, you actually still possess the audacity to speak of an "immoderate dose" (=measurable dose) with this portion. Those artisan artists who extract me from the wood with much effort and love in lengthy procedures, let me come into my own in high-quality oud fragrances with proportions of up to 30%. And they have it thereby not necessary such procedure still with the word "Pure" to apostrophize, but simply let me speak to the noses.
You harness me as a draught horse before your advertising campaign wagon and nevertheless do not consider it necessary me, or at least my provenance to describe adequately and thus burden the unsuspecting buyers with a high risk. In view of the currently called selling price of the equivalent of about € 1,250 per flacon, I do not find this responsible.
For the above reasons, I distance myself expressly from the product Pur Oud.

Oud Advocate's After Note:
In fact, the fragrance is for a niche brand (watch out!!! I'm specifically not talking about Artisan or Independent brands here, in whose hands oud actually remain and is very likely to be processed much more appropriately and to a higher quality) is not bottomlessly bad. I would compare it with The Spirit of Dubai - Baz. It's quite animalic, but not barnyard. Then it gets woody and unfortunately a bit soapy, which might be due to those awful notes Helvetolide®, Ambrettolide. It would be like painting a finely sanded cross-section of beautifully grained root wood opaque with grey acrylic paint. What, just in view of the price very aggravating is the astronomical price, which is certainly paid in large part just for the name.
Who is looking for an old oak table made of solid wood, should not try that at a very large Scandinavian furniture store and also at least check whether it is also pure oak.

The metamorphosis of the Tanoishi
Lovers of flowerless and largely fruitless, rather dark fragrances often ask themselves what this "oud" is, which is so often indicated as an ingredient in fragrances. And to answer the question, especially in view of the fact that...

50 Shades of Oud
As someone who has already enjoyed some ouds, one assumes a certain woodiness (perpetual) and leatheriness (often after many hours). What presents itself here, however, is a pleasant surprise.
One is received by an earthy plum jam. These are the fruits,...
