The Good-Boy Scent
It all started with a harmless walk through the city center, and as a perfume enthusiast, I just couldn't help but browse in the next perfumery - I think you know how it is.
There were many scents I had never smelled before, but which had piqued my interest based on the reviews here on Parfumo or from YouTubers, so I wanted to test them myself and sniffed my way through the entire perfumery.
Many scents I really liked, but very few truly blew me away.
Until I literally came to a small stand at the very end, where the fragrances from Van Cleef & Arpels (the Collection Extraordinaire) were displayed.
The Oud Blanc was the first bottle that caught my eye; I'm not really deep into the perfume game yet, but with my last purchase of the Scorpion Intense from Odyon, my interest in oud fragrances was somehow awakened - even though I know it's a very broad term.
And "Oud Blanc," White Oud? I wondered how that might smell.
So I sprayed it on a test strip, smelled it, and wow... finally a scent that completely convinced me right from the first sniff, and the decision to buy the fragrance was rock solid.
Now onto the scent itself:
Yes, it is very sweet.
Some people might even find it too sweet.
For me, however, the floral notes of rose and the rather prominent notes of oud and incense make it very pleasant, and it is precisely these notes of incense and oud that make the scent very wearable for me as a man,
BUT:
Somehow I do think that there are men for whom the scent just doesn't work at all. That's why the title of the review is "the Good-Boy scent," because somehow that is exactly what it is for me.
I don't want to elaborate further on this; I think you understand what I mean. So if you've read this review up to this point and can somehow identify with it, I can only recommend giving this scent a try or even buying it blind?
At a price point of around €100 for 75ml, that might be manageable, and in case of emergency, my DMs are open for complaint messages and the souk for damage control ;).
As for the question of where and when to wear the scent, my answer would be: "always everywhere."
In summer at 30 degrees, maybe not quite, but otherwise, it really works for me all the time and brings compliments en masse.
That was quite a long review, which I've just noticed is directed only at men; somehow I can't really say how I would see the scent on a woman, but there are plenty of other reviews and comments here for that.
I'm very glad to have found the scent and hope I could give you a little insight into how Oud Blanc works.
