A man's spicy apple juice during Christmas
I've been hearing about Oajan and how it smells like Christmas spirit and spicy apple pie. Now that we're in the week and days leading up to Christmas, I had to try it for myself and see if it was true.
Definitely more masculine to me, which is the reason why I won't be getting it, but it's a very nice scent nonetheless. Warm, comforting and all-around lovely to wear for comfort, but also for feeling elegant and put-together. It really does have that Christmas vibe I heard about. Instead of smelling like apple pie though, it smells like spiced apple juice to my nose, even though there's no apples in the notes. Breaking it down, I have the impression cinnamon is why our nose picks up on an apple vibe. Honey is also present, giving a sirupy, almost liquorish aspect to the fragrance. The middle notes are all about warmth and an ambery, resinous accord. The drydown has some powdery vanilla and tonka beans. Davana is a strong note on my skin (always has been when I've encountered the ingredient in fragrances). It reinforces the liquor and adds a touch of exotic spiciness. Patchouli finally adds some woodiness at the end of its drydown.
Like I mentioned previously, it leans masculine to my nose due to the spicy aspect and the liquorish facet I'm getting which is why I won't be getting it. I do have to say though, it's a great cold weather choice for a man and I wouldn't mind smelling it on somebody else's skin. Try it out for yourself!
