Don't listen to the haters...
On my last trip to Paris, I paid less attention to the "big" houses, but rather visited smaller perfume brands - including Parle-moi des Parfums and Parfums de Nicolai. I took a handful of fragrances home with me and now I sit here, slightly shocked by some statements of the Parfumo Community.
Because it is not clear to me how a "Milky Musk" from PMDP should have musk as the main note and on the other hand hardly anyone here smells oud. This is probably because no one smells the real material anymore, but refers to Western mixtures that would never use real oud or real musk in their lives (even if they were allowed to).
For both materials are traditionally "fixative" and therefore appear on stage - if at all - only as subordinate notes. It would simply be too expensive to create a fragrance with a prominent oud note (made of pure oud). And it wouldn't be sustainable either.
What I'm getting at is, yes, that perfume has oud in it. Not much, but certainly more than in most mixtures that smell like "oud" (i.e. mostly the synthetic substitute). I find the combination with lavender particularly interesting, because I have not smelled that yet. All in all a quite transparent, slightly sweetish scent, which remains the same most of the time as in the beginning. Only it gets a little sweeter at the end. But I am happy about the change to the typical rose oud, which seems to exist in every house and which I deliberately avoided at PDN.
The Sillage could be better. It is rather a calm scent, which lasts for about 7 hours but is still very solid. Could also be due to the potent spray head. The processing is excellent for the price
So, friends, please don't be put off by the online world or the big houses and if in doubt always try it yourself ;-)
