|-I'm sorry. I can't believe you're here
Due to the many new releases that we encounter every day on Parfumo and that appear even in high-priced niche brands at intervals where even the fashion houses are certainly not badly surprised, we all certainly regularly overlook some fragrances. And for those who - like me - spend most of their time in niche markets, their gaze is often blinded by seemingly unimportant, short-lived publications that originate in the zeitgeist.
Exclusive Oud with its inconspicuous bottle is one of the many dupes of the brand. He could be one of those many publications. Could...
The oud chord, which was created here, is far away from the stuffy piercing species, which is often found even in niche areas. Especially at the beginning a slightly medical-gummy note can be discovered - an aspect that real oud sometimes has. This peculiarity is certainly marked by saffron. From the beginning, Exclusive Oud has been determined by a strong saffron-spice combination, which for me is the heart of the fragrance. Woods and gentle smoke threads run through this spice combination, almost calming it down.
To be classified as unisex until the first hour, the fragrance is later clearly pushed in the masculine direction. Patchouli, leather and a hint of oakmoss create a subtle chyprean impression that skilfully accentuates the male side. Those who expect a pure bitter scent at this point will be disappointed. A palpable, pleasing sweetness is always present, but never becomes overwhelming. Pours itself over the skin more like a gentle, warming spice syrup.
Over time, the fragrance impression shifts in the direction of Amber-Oud. It becomes warm-spicy and woody-sweet without turning Exclusive Oud into a cuddly scent. On the contrary, a dirty-animal edge, skilfully playing with leather and a dark chocolate gourmand note, always preserves something striking. And especially this little animal is what inspires me most about the scent! Because I honestly didn't expect ZARA to do that.
I cannot get rid of the feeling that myrrh and tobacco also play a significant role in this fragrance. And so I am confronted with (niche) scents - like 'Tigre du Bengal' - which have a similarly ambry and dirty structure, but whose design and overall impression of course already differs considerably.
Basically the comment is invalid, because Exclusive Oud is long out of print, long gone from the market. Still. It was only now that he met me that he impressed me. If the price were to be included in the valuation, it would certainly be significantly higher. A certain caution when spraying is recommended here! With the atomic, room-filling explosive power that the fragrance possesses, nobody can complain about the lack of shelf life or Sillage.
A greeting to the perfume that brought me to these fragrances ;). Surely I'll stop by ZARA more often now.
PS: The number in the title is for stylistic purposes only and doesn't serve any hope for a continuation of the series!
