The Dilemma of Cherry Blossoms
I wanted to write this review because I wanted to counter the impression left by the current ratings.
I find the scent extremely beautiful, even though it may take a bit more time to understand it better.
In my opinion, the theme that this fragrance aims to express is the cherry blossom. Cherry blossoms in nature have a very light, fleeting, and almost feminine character that is extremely difficult to capture. Whether as tea, in dishes, or as perfume, many have attempted this, with varying degrees of success.
Perhaps that’s why it’s called “Hidden Shades.” The magic of this fragrance does not reveal itself immediately but remains hidden at first.
The version of the cherry blossom that “The House of Oud” has created stands out to me positively, as it does not attempt to alter the scent but presents it as one would find it in nature.
The fragrance itself is a delicate, warm yet also fresh, silky scent that lingers quite a long time in its perception. I would describe the sillage as both strong and weak, because although the scent itself does not project strongly in the traditional sense, it has similar characteristics to the fragrances of Pierre Guillaume. These can be perceived over a long time as scent bursts, despite their apparent weakness.
I have also experienced that the overall intensity of the fragrance intensifies over time (within the context of the cherry blossom).
So, for those who like cherry blossoms and enjoy forming their own opinions, I can only encourage them to test the scent themselves and not to be deterred by the current reviews.
