This fragrance stays in your head!

Once smelled, it gnaws at you, in (almost) every minute (awake and asleep) since the first test.
It was handed to me with the words:
"You like oud, it's a whole other level!" -
and it was a whole other level.

Intense, animalic, a blow with a hammer that you suddenly see "new" colors.
Rose Oud in different, yet classic, intense yet noble.
This caravan has only treasures with it!
"It's really cool" - Yes! "it's expensive!" - unfortunately also yes!
Consult Parfumo and the Internet...
Vintage oud, almost 10 years older than me, limited, if gone then gone, fomo...

This is a fragrance you treat yourself to, at some point, at the right time, to celebrate the day/month/year/decade.

Reason, calculation, reality and financial concerns have no place here, or in general with fragrances that really touch the heart! And that's what makes the hobby so great and at the same time so dangerous.

With the purchase, my mind is hopefully at peace now,
"You don't treat yourself to anything else" and know that you're always treating yourself to something.
Completely unreasonable, but so incredibly beautiful.

Reason is for people who have forgotten how to be happy! And this fragrance stays in your head and makes you happy!

...and hopefully the caravan will not move on for a long time...

okay, here we actually have a representative of the much-maligned "animalistic" oud. which is by no means intended to cast a negative light (or shadow?) on him, but rather to distinguish him for me. and "animalistic" is for me the most exposed predicate with which i can assign an oud, then since i love oud, there is no "fecal" for me.

but it is much more than just that. if you take a look at the fragrance notes from the classification, you will see that pretty much every note from the chart to be mentioned is hidden in this elixir. and eliciting all these attributed notes from it is no work of art, as it rises from the skin like a small explosion of sensual impressions immediately after being sprayed on.
the first impression might lead you to believe that it is a little disharmonious, as if there were too many opposing components, as if it were just a little too much of everything.
too much dark, too much fresh, too much blossom, too much sweetness, too much acidity. but this impression is quickly dispelled and all the notes of the mosaic blend into a harmonious overall picture.
this complex fragrance painting of a hundred colors becomes all the more astonishing when you compare the numerous notes of the classification chart with the comparatively manageable notes of the fragrance pyramid. it only becomes clear how masterfully interwoven this fragrance is when it unfolds in such a wealth of impressions.
you really get pretty much every one of the notes indicated here (of course, this is always a matter of individual preference), but none of the notes is too predominant and none of them is really lost, each gets its moment to be present.

he masters the play of light and shadow mentioned at the beginning perfectly. but it is not that we get an either-or, but a both-and. if we are briefly in the light, he lures us with his shadow, if we then go into the shadow, he promises us light again.
i caught myself, when i first tasted it on test strips, having to pick it up again and again to smell it again and again, because i could never really "believe" it, because i could never quite grasp the scent; but it fascinates with every sniff, because it constantly plays with all its notes, almost as if the individual notes and nuances fluttered like butterflies around the constantly blossoming bud called oud.
and then finally, applied to the neck, you sit complacently and enjoy yourself, watching almost meditatively as the fragrance rises, ensnares and beguiles you. you please yourself by allowing yourself to be seduced by its sensuality.
...all right, I realize it, I'm raving... i confess, I'm in love...
but still, for me, truly fabulous craftsmanship at the height of its powers, fully exploiting all the possibilities in this fragrance.

normally i never judge the price of a perfume in the star rating. i think it's always a very personal thing, what value you place on a fragrance, or an object in general. some people spend thousands or millions on a painting that other people wouldn't be worth 30 euros, or that another painter would make for a few hundred euros.
yes, 350,- euro for 30ml is a very proud price. therefore, this is a fragrance that i will only wear very exclusively and selectively. of course, i am tempted to buy 1-2 bottles in stock if the financial situation allows it. perhaps also due to the knowledge that this piece of gold is limited due to the vintage oud it contains and that this masterpiece will never be available again. therefore, i have to guard it like the treasure it is.

but despite the price, i recommend anyone who likes complex yet harmoniously composed ouds with a recognizable oud scent to try it at least once. before you spend the same money on 100ml of a good fragrance that doesn't completely wow you like this one does, i like to invest in such works of art.

fort & manlé have already thrilled me with bojnokopff and late harvest, and the new qahwa is also fantastic, but here he has once again outdone himself.
hats off, mr. rasei fort

matured for 44 years-it was worth it!

The fragrance was handed to me with the words "This is a vintage oud from the 70s." handed to me.
I thought I knew what oud smelled like, but this was something completely different. Something completely new.
A pleasantly fresh animalic - like a herd of cows in the distance, their scent carried to you by a light sea breeze over green meadows. Wonderful!
The oud maturation was really worth it.
I fell in love immediately.
If you like the smell of oud, you should definitely give this one a try. I find it much more pleasant and suitable for everyday use than many oud stinkers and much less oppressive than the sweet oud compositions. I am delighted that the vanilla is very much in the background here and that the rose has nothing of rose candy about it.

Lovely oud at the intersection of different categories, not too animalic

Sampling the final of the three latest releases from Rasei Fort, The Oud Caravan, an aptly-named oud-led spicy, warm, sensual fragrance with just slight smoky and animalic hints, nothing too edgy, oud-wise. The note list is greatly varied, from rose, leather, patchouli, saffron, and pepper, to vanilla, incense, and benzoin. It’s really an epic oud for many tastes, without too much of any one element, while offering plenty in total, including some of the rose/oud vibes, some of the incense, just a pinch of gourmand, and a great array of spices. It’s very lovable and not too overwhelming for those who like to avoid oud, even though, for me, the oud is the single most noticeable note. It performs very well but like the other recent entries, is not too loud overall, and does not have a ton of evolution, which is perfectly fine by me when the scent is very good. The oud itself, especially its slightly animalic side, is the most significant note to fade over time, in fact.

Like the other recent Rasei Fort releases, The Oud Caravan is sold at Luckyscent (where I got my sample), Ministry of Scent, and Sealed Essence, and is priced quite high, at $350 for 30ml, even higher than the other two recent releases, Qahwa and Ismi, which are $250 for 30ml. Of course, at this price point, it goes without say that you likely need to love it in order to consider buying it. I regard Qahwa as my favorite of the trio, with Ismi and The Oud Caravan roughly tied for second.
