EO Black Ensar Oud

Ensar is known for releasing endlessly, and the demand seems to justify this, so I won't evaluate this circumstance here. Not every fragrance will be able to maintain the quality level - objectively speaking - but the probability increases. EO Black is fortunately business as usual in this regard, which is why I am happy to introduce you to the scent.

I stand in the deep jungle. Dense foliage holds back the sun. Beneath me, damp, bitter earth, interwoven with myriads of decomposed tree remnants. Into this primal moisture, this bitter note already stemming from the oud, patchouli mixes in. It smells intense. Powerful. Yet never intrusive, as it enters into a symbiosis with the oud, with the jungle. A hint of spicy-peppery nuances flits over - carefully balanced.

But the oud in the inner eye, the jungle, splits. A fork in the path reveals the individual facets, the differences between the ouds from different origins. Suddenly: evoked coldness. Cool and yet absorbing the warmth of the image like an uninvolved spectator. The incense wafts, weaves threads, dances through the dense-dark notes and appears so fleeting that one hardly notices the advance of the ouds. These are brutal, immense.

I smell oily facets, already feeling the consistency of oil between my fingers, the damp earth of some forests, leaves from which a single drop of water trickles down. A veil lies over the jungle, clouding the sunlight, laying itself like a dark premonition over everything and yet promising no disaster but is merely an impression of the mood that EO Black ignites. Mystically alluring like a grove of old, decayed trees, which develop a scent of their own.

EO Black clearly demonstrates why Ensar is relatively well-known. The ouds are of high quality, the rest is elegantly constructed, which is achieved by very few. Either the oud as an oil is outstandingly fragrant or it is often so blended with various ingredients that the oud alone is not important even if it is listed in the title of the work. Rarely does a fragrance with multiple ingredients that are not named rose or possess an animal origin smell so much like oud and at the same time be so well thought out.
