Beautiful mystery
Honestly, I find this one quite elusive. To the point that I can't really pick out any notes or even describe what I'm smelling. It's sweet and maybe a bit fruity? Sometimes I smell children's chewable vitamins and there's a metallic sort of freshness? Sometimes I even get the dreaded rose. And yet, this is the fragrance that got me interested in oud and was the one that inspired me to place another order. It was the first oil that gave me the "buzz" that people associate with oud. Sniffing the swipe is rather unpleasant, turpentine like? But it surrounds me in this soft cloud of rich, sweet floralcy. It's more of a feeling than a smell and one that will reward time spent. My sense is that it will reveal its secrets slowly as my nose adjusts. As a smell it doesn't seem particularly strong but it's impact on my physical state is profound.
