Decent rose-oud

As the name goes, Rose Oud by Monotheme is a more-than-decent rose & oud scent, soapy and dark, with a zesty-candied touch and a musky, slightly camphorous base. And oud, obviously, that type of woody-rubbery synthetic note we’ve been so used to in the recent years. Overall a bit plastic and not that original (not to say mediocre), but honestly, in my opinion acceptably pleasant to wear, especially if you like that sort of “glamorous” dark refinement of rose-oud scents. The thing is, and I say that after having tested countless cheap (but costly) niche scents with the same accords, that Rose Oud is identical - and I mean it literally - to pretty much any “mid-level” niche rose-oud scent, so think of any Montale, or Mancera and similar products. Mostly Montale: I instantly thought of so many of their “Aoud Whatever Petals” fragrances. It smells exactly like that, to any extent: but (as for Leather by this same brand), this costs ten times less than them. And this to me “allows it” to be a bit mediocre and synthetic: at least you get what you pay for, quality-wise (no, actually here you even get more value than you pay for). I always criticized Montale and similar brands mostly because of the quality/price issue, while now, I’m giving this a higher rate just because I see something with, finally, a fair price. Actually even too low for the quality. Rose Oud is nothing extraordinary, but it’s well-made, smells nice (even quite classy), lasts long and is totally unpretentious: a perfectly compelling, more-than-affordable and valuable alternative to so many synthetic rose-oud scents currently cloying the market.

Headache Guarantee

Please do not wear it in everyday situations, tram, subway, train, airplane, gym, university, or at the office. The poor fellow humans.
I've rarely smelled something so synthetic. It's disgusting. Smells like cheap disinfectant. As if one had sprayed plastic on oneself. I bought it because of the good reviews. What a mistake! I have been knowledgeable about perfume for 40 years. This cannot be called perfume. It is an insult to every real perfume. Every cent spent here is wasted!
Fortunately, the sillage and longevity are just as weak, even on fabrics. An insult to every fine nose.

Fragrant Velvety Darkness...

Here I want to peel lemons, refine roses, sail through the air like a bird, plow through rich earth like a mole, and stand in the forest - with a bright clearing in its center.
In this wild mixture of possible activities, the velvety darkness of this fragrance reigns supreme. It shifts within itself, uniting blossoms, woods, citrus fruits, and flowers. And it is NOT that dark at all! "Gloom"? Not at all! Because now and then bright, minty atoms emerge. Delicate rose scents are absorbed within. Alternating between sunny warmth and shady coolness. It creates a twilight, mystical, between night and morning. In the east, it is already "glowing"... Signs of a pleasantly cheerful day. Promising tranquility and leisure, yet full of cheerful busyness. Until the evening takes over - earthy woods begin to scent in the damp twilight. Long-lasting and with a pleasantly present radiance. No "flamboyance," rather simple opulence. Everything is very deep and extremely appealing - not TOO pleasing - nor too aloof. JUST RIGHT, JUST AS IT IS!! ;-))
