Fruity-floral opening on a fine-woody amber base
I am skeptical about oud, as it can come across as somewhat harsh to European noses. However, in this fragrance, the note is very well integrated and pleasant to wear.
Shortly after spraying, I smell apricot and peach, I thought. But after a short time, it becomes clear to me: that is not apricot, that is osmanthus! A coveted and high-priced flower, which is accompanied by woody-green scent nuances alongside the mentioned floral-fruity apricot.
In fact, I have real osmanthus in my small lab, so I assume that this fragrance contains real osmanthus. I find it all the more surprising that this scent note does not appear in the fragrance pyramid.
A slight imbalance follows after 5 - 10 minutes, when a phenolic smell comes through, which likely originates from the woods contained. Once you get past the phenolic outlier, the warm woods slowly reveal themselves with a finely-spiced, well-measured oud note. Well perceivable, but not exaggerated.
In the base, there are further woods and light amber, caressed by delicate apricot - which is likely created by synthetic fragrance materials - but does not smell synthetic.
Overall, for me, a successful fragrance that (aside from the imbalance in the top note) smells very balanced and is suitable for both men and women alike. Good longevity, later more skin-close.
