Shaghaf Oud شغف عود Swiss Arabian 2016 Eau de Parfum

If you like vanilla-sweet-opulent fragrance
The first note that I get when I first spray this is a strange banana like smell in the opening who fade away quickly, leaving behind an odd rose/vanilla/praline combo. Despite the fact that Oud is supposedly present in middle and base note, I dont get any at all. It is basically a very sweet ( overly ) fragrance, very heavy on vanilla. The base note give you a chocolate vibe, but not a good chocolate, one that stayed under the sun for a very long time.
Great performances. Is it Arabian style fragrance ? At 20% I would say, not more.
Hit or miss ? If you like vanilla, vanilla, and vanilla , then go for it. If not, stay away.
The quality of the essential oils used here is great overall.
PS: Absolutely nothing similar with Dark Aoud by Montale
