A bad omen
I've had Xerjoff's "shooting star" "Uden" on the hit list for a long time. ;)
Now I came across the convenient embarrassment of being able to put my nose on a bottling of this Uden clone warrior "Omen" at a souk.
(Thanks at this point to the noble donor, enjoyed the test of course definitely!) :)
However, I must say that to date I am quite underwhelmed by the Uden "DNA"...
What serves me his imitator here, is a for me to the Zino Eau de Toilette Machart leaned composition, with something more citrus and coffee note in the heart. Slightly sweet, slightly woody, slightly floral, and also, light!
The whole thing is not unpleasant, quite nicely done, also has slight Bvlgari Man In Black moments for me. (Probably due to the rum...)
But more of everything a little bit, than now very concrete and expressive.
I just lack the "wow effect", it remains very average.
I must fairly say that fragrances with coffee have it hard with me, because I drink coffee so gladly and often, that I do not need it in the fragrance world on the other hand then necessarily...
But I think if the fragrance would have more of the "wow", as it has Rochas Man Eau de Toilette for example, the coffee would at least not irritate me so much.
(By the way: even with Rochas Man, the Intense variant has less appealed to me because of the increased caffeine content! :D)
So in fairness, maybe you could say, "For fans".
And for me, this is thus a bad omen, am therefore curious whether I will like the original Uden, or Black Extreme by Mandarina Duck, which is supposed to be similar, then.
Black Extreme is already ordered, so you can be curious.
Your guesses gladly here as answers! :)
