Oud Royal Ministry of Oud 2020

A typical clone that behaves more like an Eau de Cologne than an Extrait, which is what it nominally is. It doesn't smell the least bit like Oud, not even the Western synthetic variant, rather like a dry cedar note and slightly milky cardamom, paired with a transparent and light boozy sweetness, a faint echo of Bentley for Men, so to speak. This kind of cheap full synthetic actually works best in a light dosage. In summary, it's an inexpensive nice green woody-soapy thing without much of a finish. You can get it for under €20; there are far worse of this kind.
