Citrus bomb - long pause - Error 404
I've owned this fragrance for a week now and what can I say
Uden is a very light, wearable and - I would say - boring fragrance.
It starts with a very dominant citrus/grapefruit mix, which remains at the forefront for the entire fragrance. I don't notice the other listed fragrance notes at all during the entire drydown. My very practiced nose has extreme problems catching a fragrance development, if there is one at all.
None of this would even bother me if it wasn't such a pungent citrus bomb
Citrus x grapefruit are very aggressive, at least in this composition attempt, especially in the first 15 minutes, after which the intensity decreases significantly and it becomes quite pleasant. This first quarter of an hour is clearly a bit too much. It lasts surprisingly long on my skin (7 hours)
Plus the hefty price tag of 240€ RRP..
Buy the fragrance yourself for that price? Never!
If there are good offers or remaining bottles here in the souk, I would still buy it, but otherwise not (I also got the fragrance as a gift)
Even if Xerjoff is my absolute favorite house, the Uden could not convince me.
For me it will be nothing more than a daily-freshie which even a 70€ designer fragrance can do, unfortunately!

The Lost Child by Lost Cherry and Oud Satin Mood
Where to start..
I came across the fragrance for the first time in the niche perfumery anne gallwé.
After the first sniff, it was clear to me: this is a bomb!
A beautiful, slightly dark cherry note, incense that gives the whole thing a smoky base, a beautiful rose that refines the whole thing and the next big player: Oud.
But not an animalic, too strong oud but a very pleasant, warm and quite wearable oud.
If I had to make a comparison, Aura would be the child of Lost Cherry and Oud Satin Mood.
A beautiful composition of these two main players.
The bottle with the darkened glass and the heavy lead cap also give the whole thing a more luxurious impression than it already is.
Now for the crowning finale :
The fragrance chords.
This fragrance comes in a set with one 8ml Balsamic Cherry and 8ml Musky Oud, so you can layer the fragrance yourself as you like.
A very cool concept, which I haven't seen anywhere else!
All in all, this is a brand that has an incredible amount of potential, and it would be absolutely worth a look - or rather a sniff! I can't wait to see what realeases are in store for us!

Herb garden trapped in a bottle
Where to start...
Another top duff from the house of Xerjoff.
When you smell the fragrance for the first time, you will probably be shocked by the concentrated freshness. Mint, thyme, basil lemon - these are the 4 top players here. Perfectly balanced, they create an incredibly authentic fragrance. Any other description than herb garden would not do the fragrance justice. The freshness and spiciness are also the perfect finishing touches. What comes on top is the uniqueness of this fragrance.
I can't think of any other fragrance that comes close to Torino21. A unique fragrance that always stands out in a crowd. For me, most fresh and spicy summer fragrances (or summer fragrances in this direction in general) always smell similar to each other, which is absolutely not the case here.
Lasting power and sillage are outstanding, and you can wear the fragrance in any weather in summer, which makes it even better for me.
Absolutely worth the price, you won't get better performance for the price!

A great vanilla fragrance! But..
Was allowed to wear the fragrance several times now and well
It is a really very successful vanilla fragrance, but only for REAL vanilla fans.
The only two scents I notice are vanilla and bitter almond. Don't get me wrong, the composition and balance of both notes is phenomenally well done. There is no feeling of synthetics or artificial substances. The fragrance delivers exactly what it promises, but that's where the problem lies.
A top vanilla fragrance. But unfortunately that's it. It lacks complexity and depth. Beautiful and simple, if you are satisfied with that, this is the right fragrance for you. Too simple for my taste. Almost boring. and for the price (depending on where you are currently looking 240-350€) you should and can expect much more.
Sillage and durability are good, as you would expect from TF, but nothing special.
Anyone looking for alternatives from Tom Ford that are loud and still contain vanilla are perfectly equipped with Tobacco Vanille.
Nevertheless, I can say that if it's just about the vanilla, this is really one of the best fragrances I've smelled so far.
