Great Oud fragrance to start with

If you wanna start your journey with oud notes in fragrances, this should be the one you should start from my point of view.

I'm saying this because for my nose (and seems like other people said the same thing) this not typically an „ 100% oud fragrance", is more like a fragrance built on a „inoffensive" oud base.

The oud in MFK Oud Extrait is not (very) agresive, it doesn't come very medicinal or fecal/extremely animalic and to make it more appealing and less offensive a high dose of powderyness and elemi is added.

For me this fragrance stars powdery and a little bit medicinal with a citrusy-spicy accord coming from Elemi. If I put my nose very close in the first minutes after I applied, I get a petrol/gasoline note.
I think there are some notes that are not listed, like: rose, iris, violet leaves. I always thought this is OSM Extrait, with less florals and more ambrette and oud + elemi.

As it goes to drydown It gets more powdery and sweeter and dry from saffron with a metallic-musky base made of oud and ambrette. I do get a little bit of Iso E Super in this.
There is also a leathery acord, subtle.

(It's not overly sweet, I could easily wear this in summer days at night)

The performance is extremely good, on me stays around 12 hours and after shower there is still a little bit of scent there.
Projection really strong in first hours and sillage too, after ~3 hours is becoming more "calm" and projects just enough until the end of the day...
