Very polarizing scent
I resisted buying anything with oud because I am so unfamiliar with it. I took a risk and did a blind buy with this, and I couldn't be happier.
The bottle is gorgeous (though a fingerprint magnet), and I could fend off robbers with it. But, back to the perfume itself...
The Good:
- If your skin "eats" perfume, this one will put up a fight
- It is sweet & leans femme, but can def be unisex
- It layers well. If the sweet is too much (and for some, it could be), they could spice it. For me, it's perfect & I layer it with something powdery (Junoon) or choco-leaning (Choco Musk).
- The bottle is beautiful (and heavy), but is not overly ornate.
The Iffy:
- It could be too sweet for some. Again, they can tone that down by layering something in.
- On some, this could come off too strong to wear in crowds or to work/school, etc.
Bottom Line:
- This is a potentially safe blind buy - for sweet gourmand lovers.
- This might play better in cooler weather (though I love it for every season).
- Layering this can completely change it up.
- This perfume makes me truly understand the description of "beast mode".
- People with more mature or drier or scent-resistent skin - this is yours (if you like the scent).
Personally, I've not had a perfume (that I love) performs so well with longevity. I will need to spurge and get a backup bottle of this.
