Boring tires
I don’t get neither “savane” nor “oud” in here. What I get instead since the very opening is a smell of bicycle tires, refreshed by a thin herbal and balsamic-anisic breeze. Shortly, the smell of your bike after a stroll in the park. Apart from that, on the very base I only get some soft, gentle cedar-amber accord, and a generic yet pleasant smell of petals. That’s it for a while; then, reaching the drydown, the herbal-floral breeze fades away a bit, and you remain with a sort of rubbery cedar note with a subtle sweet-balsamic vibe. Now, I must say I enjoy Savane Oud’s refined discretion, which makes it an elegant close-to-skin scent; and I also appreciate the fact it isn’t another oud similar to dozens of others... but honestly – I can’t help it – it bores me to death.
5,5-6/10
