Fresh mint + spice + oud without barn notes, underlined with a wonderful, robust tea note. Very masculine and great value for money. Absolutely recommended!
Hmm, mint? Not really, but definitely has that barn vibe. I actually like it, so thumbs up for that... but be careful if that's a problem for you. The opening is definitely promising... I'm curious to wear it.
I really liked the Black Oud too, so I hope to try this one as well - of course, it probably won't contain anything real, since that's pretty rare anyway.
@Schallhörer, that's to be expected.
I think the synthetic oud in Black Oud still comes across quite naturally. @Neonwhite, thanks for the more detailed assessment, I like bear poop

Unlike other (oriental) oud fragrances, the barn note is hardly noticeable here, although it is overshadowed by the spices. In the drydown, it comes through a bit, but it's overshadowed by the wonderful tea note. There's also a slight licorice note in the opening, similar to Black Oud. You have to try it; I'm very positively surprised.
No barnyard notes at all? I can hardly believe that with 2x Oud in the pyramid...
