Nero Oudh Tiziana Terenzi 2019

Ordered this as blind buy, only based on notes... I know It was risky, many times blind buys go wrong, but not this time! I couldn't be happier with this blind buy!
To my nose, Nero Oudh opens with blend of leather, saffron, and geranium. Very strong I have to say, maybe too strong. Make sure you let it settles before getting in a closed environment with others, you can choke someone! Despite there's nothing wrong with the opening, I have to say I almost gave up on this, cause I'm a bit fed up with roses, but then it started to dry down... Here is where this thing starts to shine, the roses gets tamed and oud starts to show up, and what a gorgeous oud! Not skanky, nor cheesy, just the best parts of oud! After a couple of hours we get a well blend of leather, saffron, oud, woods and a bit of roses. This reminds me an upscale men's clothing store, imagine that wooden furniture, the new leather belts, shoes and jackets, and a subtle floral touch. It keeps like that all the way to the end, slowing fading into a wonderful oud-leather combo. Performance is beast mode! Easily achieving 12 hours of sillage, but if you go to bed without bathing, you can still feel a trace on the morning. Amazing!!!
