Bark mulch for hours - sorry but "pass"
For me, this is the worst of The Nose Behind. Despite the actually "soft", less animalic Thai oud, there are cowshed and animalic vibes en masse here. Fortunately, after 2-2.5 hours, pepper and a sweet rose are added, which buxomize the whole thing in a more bearable direction for me.
After 5-6 hours, the oud is only very faintly perceptible and woods, sweet resin and musk take over. Iris finally makes an appearance.
I search in vain for orange, lemon or even plum - I really have NO idea why they are listed here :S
One more thing: significantly worse on the test strip, probably only a 1-1.5 rating. Different on the skin, so be sure to spray it on!
Conclusion:
Overwhelming bark-mulch-pepper mix for the first few hours, which then fortunately changes to a woody-sweetish note at some point. Unusually strong drop in oud intensity after approx. 5-5.5 hours. Unbelievable when you consider how intensely animalic it starts.
200% not a blind buy. 200% not a women's fragrance and 500% not a daily or everyday fragrance.
Could be made more bearable by layering, but for me a clear "pass".
