Practical oud
In an acute fit of pure curiosity, I ordered the DEOM. Now it's here and I'm wondering how to describe it.
Let's put it this way: it's not a dating fragrance. If you use it for dating, you will go home alone. Unless you've been on a date with Pinocchio, who might well be turned on by this blend of wood, beeswax balm and furniture polish.
I'm about as turned on as if I'd stuck my head in my grandma's desk, it actually smells the same there.
But it's also a practical invention! Everyone who has always wanted to smell like a desk no longer has to walk around with their desk on their head, which is really impractical, especially in an elevator or changing room.
Instead, it is now finally possible to rub the fragrance onto your alabaster body as a base and impregnate it with all kinds of other ingredients. Note the gourmand note at the end, which is slightly sweet and reminiscent of creme brulee. Purists can now use it to camouflage themselves olfactorily in the office like their desk, in the hope of becoming invisible themselves.
Everyone else, like me, runs the risk of receiving compliments along the lines of "I can smell the board in front of your turnip". Well, as a couples therapist, I'm used to that, so it hasn't bothered me that much for a long time.
What remains is a bottle that is without a doubt the most precious of my 70 fragrances. Full of awe, I look at the masterpiece of cut glass crystal and ask myself what the point of 6 ml is.
Yes, this is how oud can be.
