Pleasing, high quality oud melange
My interest in Ensar or Agar Aura and consorts was awakened relatively late if you take my discovery of other fragrances. Basically, I like wood and resins but oud was with me for a long time for two reasons rather negative connotations. First, because I knew many creations with oud, the majority as not beautiful felt and that was retrospectively simply because of the quality. Probably often synthetic oud, little oud respectively somehow distorted. On the other hand, it was also due to cheap oud scents from the Orient. Of course I don't want to disparage any perfume because of its price, but it's true, qualitatively there are quite other ouds. At some point I became interested in Agar Aura, read a lot of their information texts and started to read up on where oud can come from, what is characteristic, which jungles exist and which are known for their quality. Then the way to Ensar was not far.
Crime & Punishment starts for me with creamy, somewhat leathery oud, though a floral veil is undeniable. For me, Cambodian oud is quite noticeable because this is characterized by tart-mossy, slightly loamy notes; it smells heavy and moist. With imagination I perceive hints of peach, other ingredients I can not make out in my head except of course the cypress, because a certain limey note can not be denied. This harmonizes well with the Oud.
Likewise, I perceive coffee notes, which are named here. These are probably to underline the oud from Sri Lanka, which tends in this olfactory direction.
Anyway, the impact of intense floral components is not to be over-scented because these take over the lead immediately. This does not correspond to my personal gusto, but was well solved here and works like sweetly dripping, viscous oil. These floral ingredients are enhanced by the Indian oud, which can smell like it. I suspect, however, that little Indian oud has been used here because it doesn't stand out and it does otherwise.
For this reason, Crime & Punishment is a pleasing oud fragrance for me because the individual ouds are rather mild and often have a supporting effect so that there are admittedly more intense eaglewood variants. Nevertheless: the quality is clearly perceivable as you can deduce from the perception of individual facets.
For me it is only logical that we distinguish Ouds because the smells are very various. In addition, we also diverge incense or other ingredients by origin. Ensar's creations show not only marginally why we do. Overall, the brand has succeeded here a good fragrance, although there are still much better, more intense and, in my version, more beautiful creations. That is for me here also on the Mysore sandalwood which I do not always like. Here it would have been allowed to be a little less.
