The Ritual of Oudh pour Homme Rituals 2019

Last month we moved into a beautiful new apartment, my wife had to get new room fragrances, always the first thing after a move! When I came home that evening, I was immediately struck by an absolutely incredible scent, which was due to the Rituals Ritual of oudh, I was absolutely thrilled and immediately dropped all my prejudices against Rituals! Until then I always thought Rituals would smell cheap, unround, poorly crafted, but far from it, the next day I immediately went to Rituals to test their fragrances, and lo and behold, I would almost say 70% of the fragrances were really good! But in the end it would be The Ritual of Oudh pour Homme
And what can I say, I've never smelled anything so good in this price range!
in the opening it has something of the Oud Eau de Parfum starts with sparkling bergamot, quickly followed by the oud and tobacco, and slowly the leather note builds up in the background to move further and further to the front, slowly the patch comes through and makes the fragrance incredibly round, absolute master class! can easily keep up with many niche fragrances, and even has a much better longevity and silage than the Oud Eau de Parfum
Maybe I should just drop my prejudices against certain brands, otherwise I might have missed this gem!!!
