I got a sample from my trusted perfumery and I have to say, "just incredible." The plum combined with the oud is very unique and hits the nose directly. On my skin, it develops a slightly salty note, while the floral notes in the heart almost completely disappear.
It's a wild scent, for which I've received not only compliments. Still, I like it a lot. It has an experimental character that strongly differs from classic Douglas scents, and that's exactly what it should be.
It's a fragrance with presence, which was to be expected. As almost all reviews here confirm, you need a good amount of self-confidence to wear it and you also have to deal with the fact that for some noses, it’s not the dream scent, even if they are an oud fan.
In summary, it's a great, special fragrance that has a lot to offer. It doesn't suit every occasion and should definitely be left on the shelf if you decide to stay in the background despite having nerves of steel.
It's crazy how different perceptions can be. For me, it's a more wearable Alex2 that you can wear anytime 😅 I haven't received any negative feedback at all 🤷🏼♂️
