Very helpful Review

Well-disguised everyday oriental hit
I now test my samples that are still "open for review" more or less blindly. Without looking again at the fragrance pyramid, manufacturer or other reviews. And it was worth it with "Camouflage" - because at first sniff I would only have associated it with "rose oud" combos to a very limited extent, probably not at all. Which is to be interpreted as a total pro!
"Camouflage" is very soapy and resinous. Almost in the chypre range. An unusual combination - especially considering what you might expect. The oud-rose heart only emerges late in the fragrance. Before that, it hardly reveals anything of its true identity. Very good. Very wearable. Very pleasant. Rather in the masculine spectrum, but what does that mean (nowadays). Perhaps I also like it better than most due to its above-average appealing vetiver note. I like "Camouflage". It fits between us. It even has signature skills. Green, daring, you don't have to struggle with it. A benefactor with no desire to show off. Freshly washed twice a day and yet with desert blood. Clean and not pure. Shimmering on the surface and yet with enough depth. Quiet and yet always saying enough. Light at first glance, darker and full of character at second glance. Definitely try it - but if you like vetivers rather than rose ouds!
Flacon: unspectacular
Sillage: a subtle "I'm here"
Longevity: 7-8 hours and more - quality piece of work!
Conclusion: let someone say again that the "Oud-Rose" combo cannot be given any new facets... Andreoli has succeeded in creating a very soapy, pleasing and almost office-suitable (!) interpretation here. Absolutely fine.
