A great take on oud
First spray is sweet fruits and vanilla, quickly followed by a deep woody smell. Definitely detect the oud in this. Unisex for sure; dry woods and oud read a bit masculine, but the sweetness and slight floral character make it feminine enough for me to wear. The more I wear it the more I like it, I keep smelling my arm. I think this is the first oud I have truly enjoyed! The aquatic notes take this fragrance in a different direction than the typical oud/amber. Fresh, yet sweet and woody.

Sultan, what scent are you wearing?
The epitome of “Oriental fragrance” for me.
Indeed, the opening is aquatic. Only briefly, but clearly recognizable.
However, it goes in a completely different direction...
Creamy sandalwood and ample vetiver blend with amber and vanilla to create a wonderful, exotic, oriental scent accord.
I perceive something similar (but purely associatively) in Kamasurabhi or Oriental Lumpur. Very exotic in my opinion, but not “tropical coconut exotic,” rather spicy and mysteriously exotic.
I could imagine wanting to smell like this as a Sultan.
At the wedding of my firstborn.
Although fundamentally unisex, I find it leans a bit more towards the masculine side.
A somewhat rougher masculine scent could indeed complement the fragrance, as I find it has a human touch. Perhaps that’s the part of the ouds.
A seductive scent.
The rather contrasting ingredients are indeed united in an unharmonious symbiosis, but that’s exactly what makes the fragrance special. The flower must get along with the wood, the vanilla with the oud, amber with patchouli. Nothing is out of place here, but it is far from being a pleasing scent in the sense of crowd-pleaser.
Due to its density and spicy-sweet character, it belongs to autumn or winter for me. It has a warming quality.
Longevity is great, and it is also quite noticeable.
And that’s a good thing, because only one can be the Sultan...

Cher wood is very nice, the sort of thing you can't quite wrap your head around and keep sniffing at for hours.

sweet, intense start
calms down in the earthy underbrush
gentle vanilla flows into the resinous-sandalwood shadows of cedar

soft, velvety, woody, creamy, balanced-
A slightly different woody scent. Overall very pleasant and suitable for everyday wear.

The fragrance pyramid seems a bit mixed up - for me, the scent starts with patchouli (ethereal)/cedar/amber/oud; the aquatic notes...

Beautiful oud, a bit of sandalwood, not aquatic at all for me. Nice scent, but I've smelled it too often. Mainstream oud-oriental.

This scent smells like an autumn walk in the woods surrounded by ponds - aquatic, woody, beautiful.

For my description of Molinard, see Ambré Lumière.
Aquatic at first, with a slight menthol note?
Too much vetiver and vanilla. What a pity.
