Shampoo Oud
Very nice fragrance, probably the most "classic" smelling of all of the Essencial Oud female line. What I get is essential a fresh-dark, slightly fruity, slightly sweet, slightly woody scent, with an almost shampoo-like bright soapy jasmine+rose through line. It smells great, and is my girlfriend's personal favorite of the Ouds, and it does indeed smell delicious on her. However, it doesn't really have anything approximating oud in it. I would have liked a little bit of that medicinal, clean, chocolatey oud that's used in the male Oud and Oud Pimenta; I think it would have given even more depth and sexiness to the scent, and would have lived up to the name. Still, I can't say that I don't like the scent, it is lovely, but far less original than the other fragrances in this line. Could be an excellent signature daily driver as I think it has enough freshness to suit warmer weather. However, I think there are better female fragrances from Natura, particularly the amazing Ekos Alma.
