Dreamlike beautiful fragrance

Oajan - A fragrance that I wanted to test for several years, but was always too lazy or let other fragrances take precedence and so Oajan had to wait a very long time. Now I got some time ago Oajan as a sample to an order in addition and thought at first, I would not see properly :D was there really an original sample of Oajan? DAMN, YES! As if they had known or guessed that I would like to test Oajan necessarily times :D My eyes began to sparkle brighter than any star hahaha.

But since I still had work to do, I postponed the test until the next day. The next day I grabbed the sample and sprayed me this on the arm and was actually fascinated! The fragrance meets my taste exactly and I'm actually thinking about whether I buy a bottle.

**Fragrance**
The fragrance starts cinnamony and sweet (will probably be the honey) and smells just so incredibly delicious and good. With me, however, it smells, unlike some other opinions here, not so blatant cinnamon that you think to have millions of cinnamon sticks hanging around your neck :D. I think the cinnamon is incorporated here quite nicely and dosed just right.

As the fragrance progresses, it remains cinnamony and sweet and other scents like benzoin and amber come in. Unfortunately, I don't know what labdanum smells like, so I can't say if I smell it or not. This mixture of cinnamon, honey, benzoin, amber, vanilla, etc. is really dreamy and soooo damn good!

When the fragrance fades out, you can smell really nice the vanilla and tonka, which is underpinned with slightly floral nuances (can you call it that?).

Funnily enough, I have in between the feeling to smell out here easily PDM Herod. Is probably because of the cinnamon, vanilla, tonka, etc. But this is not bad, on the contrary, I find it terrific!

**Durability & Sillage**
Durability and sillage are, as you would expect from PDM (in most cases anyway), really good! With me, the fragrance holds easily more than 10 hours on the skin. Also, the scent is still well perceptible from a few meters away.

@!Price / performance**
As with all other perfumes, I am absolutely not satisfied with the price called and actually wonder why Oajan is more expensive than Herod? Herod you get depending on already for 130-160€ for 125ml. For me it is simply not understandable why some perfumes are more expensive than others at PDM and other brands, although these have almost the same theme, same ML number, same bottle (except vllt different color) etc.

But the performance is really good for the money paid, which you can expect, since the fragrance is not exactly a bargain or tip (for most anyway).

**Flacon**
The Oajan bottle I have unfortunately not yet seen in real life, but in pictures and videos. I really like this shiny black with the golden writing and golden cap. I like the PDM bottles anyway very well, because these are m.M.n. very high quality, robust and beautifully finished. PDM really makes a great effort with the flacons.

@!Occasion/season**
For me personally, I see Oajan at almost all occasions d. h. work, going out, eating out, visits, dates, appointments, etc. Provided one does not exaggerate with the sprays and is economical.

In my opinion, even a suit wearer can wear this fragrance, properly dosed.

Unlike other opinions here, I see Oajan quite also in autumn, winter and cool spring days. Where I tend more to autumn and winter and is also well portable far from Christmas. As with all other perfumes, it always depends on the dosage. If you take there 1-2 sprays, you can wear the fragrance really very well in above seasons. Of course, if you take 5, 6, 7, 8, ... sprays, it is not surprising that the fragrance then slays you in certain seasons and at certain temperatures. Personally, I'm not a fan of huge fragrance clouds, so with me at the very most 3 sprays is the end, provided that the fragrance is of course not brutal as, for example, Grand Soir or PDM Carlisle.

@!Final word**
I find PDM Oajan really great and delicious and is next to Layton, Herod and Percival my new favorite, which will one day possibly move into my collection. I can now also understand very well why of all the 4 are the most popular from the house PDM.
