Gourmand Oud

I wasn't really expecting to fall hard for this scent like I did.

From the first whiff, I got a super dark mysterious and smooth smoking oud covered in cocoa butter, cinnamon, ginger and chocolate.

It's really delicious that I was dying to try the original scent - Oud Cadenza by Maison Crivelli. At some point, I actually started to get hungry.
P.S: Don't wear this when you are hungry otherwise you might bite off your wrist. Lol.

I also do get a tiny bit of saffron, dates and leather in the background. I think this might be the best gourmand scent I have ever tried apart from Dolce and Gabbana Devotion.

I can't wait to layer this with Dior Homme Intense in the chilly weather and see how good I will be smelling.

Btw ladies if you love Burberry Goddess and the likes of Kayali Vanilla 28, you should definitely check this out.

Cocoa Morado

Scent:
This fragrance is definitely not for the faint of heart, nor for those who like mass appealing fragrances. The fragrance is not your typical Scent that you're used to smelling at the mall or one that you're immediately drawn to. This fragrance will be challenging for those who like "Blue Scents" and for those who are not used to niche perfumery. Also, if you are expecting a "Full On Gourmand", then you also might not like it and might be disappointed, because this is not a Gourmand at all. It concentrates more on the Oud & Smoke/Incense. The scent opens up with a blast of Oud, Leather, Incense, Vanilla, and a dash of fruitiness from the Dates. Throughout the life of the fragrance that's basically what you'll get, at least that's what I got. Later on the Incense & Vanilla will become the star players of the fragrance while the Oud, Leather, and Dates take a backseat. The scent is fine to me, it wasn't challenging to me, since I'm open minded when it comes to fragrances and I like to try different styles of Scents. Once again, this fragrance is not for those who only like mass appealing fragrances. This is more for those who want to branch out and try new styles of Scents. This is also not unisex, at least to me. The leather and oud notes really hit hard with this one. I don't think the ladies will like this one as much.

Performance:
Now, this is where the fragrance somewhat disappointed me. I was reading reviews stating how this was "explosive", "Room filling", and "obnoxious". Personally, that wasn't the case with me. Now, I'm not saying it was weak by any means, because it wasn't. It just wasn't "Beast Mode" & "Filling Rooms" for hours, the way some have stated. It was Above Avarage for me. For the first 30mins this is where the fragrance is somewhat strong. It will travel 5-6ft within those 30mins, but at the 1hr mark that's where it dials back quite a bit. At that time it's a little beyond arm's length, and by the 2nd hour it's at Arm's Length, which is not bad. Also, the Strength of the projection is on the moderate side, it really never "suffocated" me with 6 Sprays. It was somewhat light. The sillage was also moderate on me. The Longevity, however, was pretty good. I got about 9hrs Total, which is not bad! Maybe as I let it sit, Performance will become better? Batch 2/25

Seasons:
Winter, Late Fall, and maybe Early Spring nights when it's cool.
