A bargain of a smoky/reinsous/semi-animalic/sweet oud
This is my full wearing of recent acquisition (and another affordable blind buy) Vince Camuto Smoked Oud, a 2018 release that has been occasionally recommended to me and seems to be one of the more discussed men’s releases from Vince Camuto (more popular than the original Oud, even), a brand that I had not tried previously.
It hints at oud without being very animalic and certainly without being medicinal, a sort of sharp, semi-tangy leather at the center, along with the smoky nuances referenced in the name and fruitfully juniper/rose mix and a sweeter base of resins and tonka.
Overall, it performs very well and appropriately feels like a masculine option for the cold weather, with some enjoyable sweet hints to counter the semi-sharp, resinous, oudy, semi-animalic aspects. It’s not boundary-pushing within the context of modern, somewhat mainstream offerings for men, but it’s still interesting, and at grey market pricing, a real bargain. I purchased the 100ml EDT bottle at FragranceNet for $44, though it seems to be frequently sold out via that website as it is currently both at FragranceNet and FragranceBuy.CA.
I love it and it’s an easy winner for me, something I could surely wear every day in the colder weather.
