Heaven for Wood Lovers
The packaging is impressive from the house of XJ, but that is certainly the least one would expect given the price. In this respect, the bottle is somewhat disappointing; while it has a certain elegance in its simplicity, mine comes with a slightly crooked stopper, so you have to find the right angle for it to look good.

Now, onto the scent itself. Fortunately, it can be applied sparingly, which somewhat relativizes the opulent price. For close encounters ;-) it is probably not suitable in the first hour or two due to its intensity: My testing friend wrinkled her nose at first - which she also did with Fetish, so I don't pay too much attention to that.
During the first few minutes, one cannot deny a slowly fading stable scent, but that dissipates after a maximum of half an hour. Otherwise, I am greeted by something akin to a Proustian madeleine, as I am intoxicated by a scent reminiscent of fresh sawdust. These notes, which - with all due respect - remind one of carpentry, linger for quite a while - those who do not like so much wood are definitely in the wrong place here.
A development can be observed over time in that, with gradually diminishing intensity, only enchanting wood and resin notes caress the senses. Wow!

For me, an absolute gem in my collection!

A big disappointment at this price point. It’s horrendously overpriced for what it is - just mid oud oil. You can buy wholesale for 10% of the price

Starts damp-animalic, then spicy-woody, infects resinous, slightly leathery. The region has better ouds, this is nice but also clichéd.

An amazing scent! After a brief walk through the stable, you end up at the carpenter's: From now on, it stays woody-resinous, and that for over 10 hours.

I've never smelled such a rounded, wonderfully fragrant oud. This is absolutely top quality. Hardly animalic, dreamily woody/balsamic.

Italians and Oud, can that work? Just imagine, EnsarOud suddenly goes for Barolo and Barbaresco.

Oud is definitely present, but it is clearly 'enhanced' and homogenized by synthetic ingredients. Animalic, sweet-woody with ...

After applying it, a slight animalistic scent comes over me, which then transforms into a wonderful wood composition.
