Oud Republic Pana Dora 2023

Sometimes you deal with topics for months, read up on them and then things turn out quite differently than expected.
When I went into the only niche perfumery in my area, I was expecting anything, but not that I would be so blown away by this fragrance of all things.
The fragrance notes didn't really appeal to me that much... I always thought that I was more into more youthful perfumes and assumed that I would find what I was looking for at Xerjoff or PDM.
But when I smelled Oud Republic, the day was more or less over for me. I knew no one else would be able to match it.
So pleasant, warm, seductive and simply special. I couldn't help but spend the rest of the day sniffing my left wrist again, I was hooked.
Two weeks later, I was finally able to call it my own, despite the very proud price. But I will never regret it and it will probably remain my absolute favorite fragrance for a very long time.
