Let's get down to business, you Oudnoses!
I took part in the campaign where Kai Porten was giving away fragrance samples in exchange for shipping. As the Oud 31 is too expensive for me, I naturally bought it straight away. I also received a sample of Beach Klub, but that's another story.
So here is my "take" on Oud 31.
Seriously guys? Why are you tearing this fragrance down like this...Why is it so hard for people these days to distinguish between fragrance and person, personal opinion and objective facts? Somehow I want to pin the state of society on this fragrance - never mind on with the review.
The Oud 31 starts very oudy-animalic. You have to like that. Many oud fragrances do this and some do it even worse (Amir One *cough* ).
Does that make it a bad fragrance that deserves a 1?
No! Because I don't like something doesn't mean it's bad! You just don't like it.
The fragrance here is well made, as you can read in detail in the reviews, which do not want to reflect their personal dislike of Kai via the review. The drydown is even really, really good! For me even one of the best in the field of oud fragrances.
There are points of criticism, of course. The top note is too unbalanced for me, the oud really pops very noticeably. Which is not a bad thing, but it seems untidy, chaotic, like a sound check. The instruments are in tune, but somehow the composition is missing. But this comes after 30 minutes at the latest. Then you get a wonderful, slightly spicy rose on a buttery bed of oud.
Nothing has been reinvented here, simply a good to very good oud fragrance has been created.
Whether Kai or whoever.
There is also food that I personally don't like, but I can still tell if it has been cooked well. And that's the case here. With the small difference that the food tastes good to me too.
