If you like Oud and the creations of Patricia de Nicolai, you can buy this Elixir de Parfum blindly.

I believe I can detect hints of Maharani and Patchouli Homme in the background, enveloped by a soft oudy-amber wave. The fragrance evolves into a very interesting blend of slightly sweet and herbal.

The price of EUR 385.00 for 35 ml does not seem particularly cheap to me, but since, as an employee of Nicolai assured me, real Cambodian Oud has been used, and it is an Elixir de Parfum, it is acceptable.

When I think about the prices of the nouveau riche products launched by LVMH, whose quality and originality do not convince me, I can only say:

Buy a real Guerlain!

Minimal animalistic oud transforms into a dry-woody scent with a slightly amber base without becoming sweet. Smoky is not how I would describe it.

Light, initially creamy-fruity oud that gradually becomes a bit woodier. Too soft and sometimes synthetic for me. Longevity is brutal.

Exciting, as it's rather atypical for Nicolai (oriental, subtly animalistic): Davana, Oud, light smoky and floral. Balance instead of power!
