hmmmm next!
I tried both Valentino Noir absolu Musc essence and oud essence today.
On the blotter strip, Musc essence was sooo shockingly lacking any fragrance.It was more like nuances from really really far away, so i didn't spray it on me.
On the other hand Oud essence, was the exact opposite, so i did 1 spray on my wrist.I first got a proper fecal punch, like true oud oils/ proper oud accords have with a saffron presence and was very happy with it. then 1/2 hour later it was almost entirely gone, what wafted was a faint cacao/labdanum(? not 100% sure) with a sugary/ buttery/ confectionery "charge".
Overall, nothing special, not great sillage, terrible longevity.The actual fragrance is quite pleasing to me but nothing that hasn't been fashioned before.I can find more interesting perfumes around that price tag(148 euro Athens/Greece)

"the little brother" of Ombre Nomade
Anyone who knows Ombre Nomade will think "I've smelled this somewhere before" after spraying it on. At least that's how I felt about the top note.
Apparently the same (synthetic?) oud is used for this fragrance. Although there is no raspberry, I thought I smelled something fruity, it could also be a plum.
Later on, the scent develops into a dry spiciness. In the drydown, I thought I smelled something like pipe tobacco, which was very pleasant.
I really like Noir Absolu Oud Essence, but I think the price of almost 200,- is clearly too high, even if it is like the little brother of Ombre Nomade.

Very dark scent! It reminds me of a walk in a dark forest and a night in a forest cabin!

Stinky, but in a good way.

Take the sharp oud accord from Gucci Intense Oud and add lots of smokey leather and significantly less performance than youd expect.
