Memories of my childhood come flooding back
Oud Republic was actually a blind buy. Having had the Pana Dora brand on my radar for a long time, I decided to buy a bottle of Oud Republic without further ado. But first things first....
The Syrian-born perfumer Ibrahim Al-Zoubi founded the Pana Dora brand. Swedish nature was chosen as the inspiration for the fragrances. His aim was to convey areas of the country and the nature of Sweden to the buyer as a very personal piece. I found the background really exciting, which is why the fragrances Moonlight, Imperial Wood and Oud Republic had been on my wish list for some time. In the end, it was to be the latter.
The fragrance arrived a few days later in its elegant packaging. The bottle really is a feast for the eyes! The cap is represented by a moose head. This looks very pompous. The bottle is a really impressive size and the sprayer is really1A!
I sprayed 5 sprays (my routine: above both wrists on each forearm, on the shirt/sweater and on both sides of the neck). The scent immediately put a smile on my face. I immediately associated Haribo gummy bears from my childhood (Dragibus Soft) I love these and always associate them with the good old days when my parents were both still around and I had no worries in life. The feeling is really very nice and creates a certain warmth in me, which is why I like the fragrance so much and am now writing my first review. Now to the fragrance:
In the opening, I mainly notice grapefruit and a sweet rose. Saffron and thyme complete and round off the whole. A slightly woody component hovers in the background. The cardamom brings slightly oriental vibes into play, but this is kept within limits.
In the drydown, the fragrance becomes woody and slightly vanilla-like. However, the fragrance remains warm, sensual and powerful even in drydown. A perfect harmony! I cannot (unfortunately) smell oud. I suspect that the oud has been perfectly encased by the ingredients and therefore doesn't come out at all. Or I'm just really nose-blind because I've already dealt with more extreme oud fragrances..... However, the fragrance is WONDERFUL even without any noticeable oud components!
Very round, elegant and beautiful composition. I had to smell it on my wrist the whole time. I see the fragrance as more suitable for special occasions such as going out or a nice evening for two, but it is actually quite universally applicable and can also be worn in your free time without any problems. I see the fragrance as more suitable for a man due to its woody character, but I also think that a woman can wear the fragrance without any problems due to its sweet component. In my opinion, Oud Republic can be worn at any time except in summer.
All in all, I can recommend everyone to try the Oud Republic! A really very pleasant and elegant rose fragrance with a woody/fruity twist. I have not smelled anything comparable so far.
Very pleasing DNA, which is why the fragrance is definitely a blind buy candidate.
I hope I could bring the fragrance a little closer! This is my first review and I call myself a layman (even though I have experience in the perfume world). I would be very happy to receive feedback or constructive criticism/suggestions to improve my future reviews
