Date me in Downtown

Sensual Aoud

Philly & Phill

Ordered out of pure curiosity for the description. The first sprays, okay interesting. Fruity. Woody. Warm. Not too sweet, but there is something. I'll let it settle. And I like it. My girlfriend does too, so it's good for the next date. Yes, I've become attached to it. The longevity is great for me. The scent is not too overpowering. Well-made perfume. I will definitely get a large bottle.

My first impression was actually positive.
We were just getting to know each other, and I found it somehow fruity with a special note that I couldn't quite place at first.
I perceived sweet fruits and saffron.

However, the fruits here are synthetic, almost gum-like. I didn’t initially perceive that as negative.

But then I directly associated the scent with a piece of gum that has been stuck under a dark, heavy wooden table since the 80s.
Slightly musty, but still sweet. I mean, gum doesn’t go bad that quickly.

Which brings us to the next point.
Once I got past the “oh, this scent is somehow beautiful and special” and “oh, something is really bothering me about this scent,” the next stage began: nausea.

When we got closer and I applied it to my skin, it was over. I just felt sick from this scent. This musty sweetness combined with the oud. Something about this scent reminds me of saliva, bringing us back to the chewed gum stuck to the table.

At that point, I knew, okay, this isn’t going to work out for us. But he will find the right one.

Postscript:
I’ve realized that I just don’t like oud. If you enjoy the scent of oud, you might want to check this one out. I’m just saying, I simply wasn’t the right one :D.
