Choco oud floral blend, pleasantly done
First wearing of Aromas de Salazar Choco Oud, a floral-forward mix of the two eponymous notes, chocolate and oud, slightly animalic, with jasmine sambac and rose. It’s a curious mix, leans slightly feminine, and is well-executed, a sort of floral gourmand with a bit of a spicy animalic edge. I don’t find the chocolate or oud to be specifically prominent but the animalic side suggests that the oud is there, and I don’t get the floral notes very specifically, but rather a dark blend, making it seem more appropriate for the evening.
Choco Oud is among the older and more modestly priced offerings of the house, at $150 for 50ml, in parfum concentration, and performs very well, like most of the catalogue.
While it does not match my personal tastes, it’s nicely done and quite interesting.
