The aura
today at Whitsun we have it slightly hazy and quite cool for May, which had more to offer as a door opener of summer (weather-wise). As far as the selection of a suitable fragrance is concerned, it is pleasing to be able to reach for the "heavier" fragrances, which one had actually already safely stored away. One of them was my sample "Carved Oud", which sweetened the beginning of the year with its great scent aura and was used again today. I bought the sample at that time to be able to draw the comparison to the Oud Wood and it is difficult for me to report on this comparison, because he brought me to my limits.
About the fragrance:
Carved Oud is not really a perfume in the traditional sense, it is better described as an aura. As something that radiates, envelops and has its own character and not just the character of the wearer strengthens or particularly emphasizes / puts in scene. Nor does it do it justice to push it into a fragrance corner, to hang titles on it such as "spicy", "woody" etc., as these are all fixed descriptions that it is above. Consequently, it seems more meaningful to describe the experience one can have with it. When you spray it, you are immediately surrounded/enveloped by a sensual aura of all kinds of finely balanced scent compositions. You smell fine spices, slightly smoldering woods, vanilla oud and everything in just the right dosage. Moreover, it is not too heavy, it retains something light, yes, almost something fresh, sparkling. The cypress manages to add a slightly ethereal touch that knows how to expand the aura with a medicinal component. By those components creates the impression of a completely condensed fragrance, it is difficult to smell the individual components individually, because everything seems so closely interwoven.
...and yes, he is undeniably a twin...
I have to agree, it also smells simply like Oud-Wood, which also gets to call this great aura its own. Nevertheless, I would prefer with the next purchase, this one, but why?
The comparison:
Actually, it is more than simple, was me to buy Carved-Oud would move: He simply lasts longer. My Oud Wood I always had to pimp with Molecule 01 to come to a good 6-8 hours, which creates the Carved at two sprays loose alone. Considering the fact that the two are almost identical in price, my buying tendency seems understandable? But, even with the scent itself, minimal advantages over the Ford can be noted. Namely, the Carved is a bit more "niche quality". It's "even" more sensual, even denser, and a bit darker. It also has the ethereal ahead of the Oud-Wood. But I want to stress that I could only smell that after wearing it several times, and I'm convinced that otherwise it's hard to tell the two apart.
Consequently, I come to the conclusion that in this case the durability can be a convincing argument after all ;-)
Happy Whitsun!

Fuck...
longer nix written here - at least in long version, but now there is a fragrance that took a long time with me and just knocked me again really hard. Unfortunately, a very very expensive colleague, but, what the heck, for lovers of fragrances, there is "almost"...

The balance
Hach, I have already tested a few fragrances in the last months - or even years and my taste has constantly changed. In the beginning I liked it loud! A Dufte had to consequently above all by the fact that he ne ne ne projection and ne super durability...
