When one spray is too much

You usually spray yourself from head to toe 16 times?
A real scent progression is not so important, if the fragrance itself is already good?
Your perfume from Monday you should still smell on Saturday?
Then you are right here!

This somewhat disparaging introduction is unfair, because the fragrance is really beautiful. But just unfortunately also so accurate!

Today it was again so far. My "Oud Satin Mood" came to use. For the first time in 2021. ONE spray. Shortly I had considered to spray again, because the first push did not hit properly. Praise be to the great perfumo - I didn't.

"Oud Satin Mood is, in theory, a beautiful scent. Sweet roses caress the wearer like a noble velvet. From the oud - as I know it from other fragrances and mostly reject - I perceive nothing here. Most likely somewhere in the floral-woody base. A unique, sweet-floral symphony of perfumery. I once read here the great comparison that OSM - also created by the admirable Francis Kurkdjian - is the Le Male of today. I find this thought really very beautiful, apt and associate it whenever my gaze falls on the bottle.

When spraying - the whole apartment smells like OSM - and in the first hour I'm really excited and ask myself why I do not wear OSM more often?!
The day passes and the answer dawns on me: "Oud Satin Mood" is there. Present. Minute by minute, hour by hour. Merciless. Persistent. Unrelenting. Without a trace of weakness. You might even say pushy.
I'm annoyed. Feel increasingly uncomfortable. Wish I had chosen a different scent.
It is unfortunately so: by this intangible performance, he becomes almost unwearable for me.

"Oud Satin Mood is just too much (for me). I didn't think I'd criticize a perfume for being too long lasting/silky, you can adjust the dosage accordingly. But when ONE single spray is enough to make me lose my senses, I have to capitulate. And that's a real shame, because the fragrance itself would be so beautiful....

New attempt probably only in autumn 2022!
