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!

If you spray your perfume in the air on Monday and accidentally got some and on Sunday you realize that you are totally slain by your perfume - then it is OSM extraid de perfume! 😄
So good and rarely laughed so. But it's true that is extremely fierce.
Ever tested the OSM edP? It is wonderful! And I use there also only max one spray 😉

try that 1 spray mid-back.
this is a great candidate for the old 'spray & walk through' method.

Exactly how I felt yesterday when I unpacked my bottle and also subsequently only once
sprayed :D in the morning it was still nice and cool and has fit well ...in the afternoon and a few degrees warmer the thing looked different. Wonder what exactly makes the fragrance so incredibly durable and radiant?

Grand Soir by MFK is also extremely violent. I use only half a spray of Grand Soir, because a whole is just too brutal for me. How OSM smells, I do not know, had never tested it and currently no interest in it, because I have the nose full of perfume with oud inside for now.
Nevertheless: very nicely written! MFK's perfumes are all high quality, fierce and worth the money.

What you can still try with such hammer-perfume, is not to spray directly on, but
a spray in front of you in the air and run through it.

I had that as an add-on. I only smelled it once and immediately screwed up my face. I think the smell is terrible (you like it in theory, if it was not too pungent). I was still wondering how you could even produce something like that. ^__^ with me category= abnormal.

I can understand that very well.
Unfortunately, the ratings for sillage and durability are seen by many as a quality scale, while they are simply value-neutral and too much is sometimes just too much.
