You wouldn't expect this from Primark
First of all: I am not familiar with oud fragrances, even though they have apparently been trending for some time now. Therefore, I will describe the scent impression as it comes to me. This is actually my first fragrance labeled "oud," so I cannot compare the scent note to anything familiar. I pondered for a long time where to categorize the fragrance, and in the end, I settled on Red Bull Cola. (Compared to other common brands, this one is a bit more spice-heavy. Connoisseurs will know what I mean. ;) ) I find this typical cola scent with citrus notes and spices in "Polka Rose Oud," after the rosy-soapy top note has faded away.
When I first tried the fragrance, I wasn't entirely convinced. Primark has several perfumes on offer, and most of them tend to fall into the fruity-sweet category. This probably sells best to the young target audience. The "big sister" Polka is also more of a fruity-sweet-synthetic perfume (reportedly related to "Lady Million"), which shows itself to be significantly more accessible in direct scent comparison during testing and I liked it from the very beginning. "Rose Oud" only became great for me over time, as I kept trying to categorize the scent somehow. As mentioned, there is nothing comparable in my collection so far. Accordingly, I have sniffed it quite often and repeatedly compared it in my mind. I believe you can definitely work through fragrances in this way. In any case, I am glad that I could gain this new impression for a relatively low price and will happily wear the fragrance.
