Oud Maknoon? or Rather no Oud!

Oud Maknoon Swiss Arabian
Maknoon in Arabic means preserved and secured and taken care of.
My impressions:
- This is similar to: Bharara King and Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition Extreme and Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition and Lattafa Ana Abiyedh, roughly in order of similarity.
- I smell no oud, or may be very little, so diluted and out of character.
- Nice fragrance, not the best in this group.
- Longevity is average.
- Sillage is weak.
- Presentation is very good.
- Totally unisex.
- If you are expecting a strong Middle Eastern type of oud this may not be for you.
- If you are buying this because you are an oud lover, then probably do not buy. My nose says the naming is inaccurate.
- If you want a nice very calm fruity ambery musky scent (with no oud) that is not loud at all then maybe buy this.

The Swiss Arabian web site confirms my conclusion, there is no oud !
