To comfort the rainy souls
About two years ago I smelled MFK's "Oud" for the first time: on a fragrance strip, in downtown Hamburg, as one test among many. I saved it under "nice and re-test value" and our ways parted. Then, some time ago, a Parfumo who is no longer registered here and who delighted our community for several years with mostly very humorous comments (reviews), wrote what I think was his last comment on this very fragrance. There had been a bereavement and "Oud", I remember, had comforted him a little, if that is possible. Since then, I was looking for this fragrance and now call a remnant bottle my own (thanks to Talux).
So my "back story" of this fragrance is a little melancholy tinged, my current situation is also, the in the country anyway. Right now it's raining, as if for background. And just warms and comforts me this fragrance as probably then that Parfumo, which I honestly miss.
"Oud" is a warm scent, woody, infused with non-sharp saffron threads, spicy through it, minimally spicy. There's a linear sweetness to it somewhere, which sometimes bothers me a bit, but sometimes seems just perfectly proportioned. Atlas cedar theoretically has that quality, warm and rich, slightly sweet. Still, I think there's a bit of vanillin hidden here as in most other scents. Not an edgy wood, then, but soft. I could have imagined well also a little pepper and woody ginger to refresh, but also as it is, it is good.
Oud hides in the overall picture, if it is oud - it will probably be an accord, a replica, one of the deliberately milder kind, without fecundity, without a medicinal impression. Gentle and soft, of a paternal, protective, comforting kind. The perfect scent for rainy autumn days, when storms and hail swirl outside and it's warm inside and you gaze spellbound out into the bustle and darkness.
A little warming silence, a little sadness, restraint, he does not hit you in the face. Also rather atypical of MFK's darker ones in terms of longevity, for which I am very grateful. Actually a southern scent, but just as fitting in the cold of the north. I will happily wear it, in special moments. For the everyday life he is too bad for me.

Cavallier!
Do you like tea?
Summer flows through the country, the colors of the map become less intense, Nordic summer drought, white-light yellow hope, fused with heat. In the offices, the gentlemen with sweat stains under their armpits. Maybe it's air-conditioned....
