King of Beasts
At first, I really resisted this scent - I felt it lacked individuality.
Now, I’ve been wearing it for the 3rd day and I’ve changed my mind!
This is truly a very beautiful, intense oud-incense fragrance. The raspberry also tries to assert itself, but remains rather secondary. The more the scent develops on skin and clothes, the fruitier it becomes, yet the dark woods still dominate. The fragrance is generally very dark.
It is a beast that few other scents can match when it comes to longevity and projection.
2-3 sprays are enough for the entire day to stand out. This scent is simply the epitome of "polarizing." Clothes usually smell for another 2-3 days, and many people comment on it, even when you think you can no longer smell it yourself. And very importantly: women also really like it!!! What more could you want?!
I find it quite expensive at LV, but fortunately, there are other alternatives to get this scent more affordably ;-)(decanting or refilling at LV).
I can recommend this scent to anyone who wants to stand out and attract attention. If you are more introverted or prefer to stay in the background, I would advise against this dark matter^^
I also don’t find it “mainstream,” as many claim.

Surprise
I bought it because some people in my circle compared it to Aventus, and I wanted to test a few Aventus dupes. Now that I’ve tried it, I have to say that the scent has absolutely nothing in common with it. The association with Aventus probably comes from the pineapple, which is present in both. Honestly - the pineapple in Creed is a joke compared to this one! This is by far the most authentic pineapple I have ever smelled in a perfume. I must emphasize that here the pineapple smells ripe, and the longer you wear it, the riper it becomes (delicious, it really makes you crave the fruit :-D). This is not hate against Creed A. I don’t think it’s bad, but I feel that the CdNI from Armaf is a better comparison (maybe one could use it for mixing).
I definitely like it, and the bottle is really beautiful for this price, with a magnetic cap just like Dior. So the quality is really top-notch, can’t say anything against that.
For just about 25 bucks, you can afford and treat yourself to it, especially.
H/S is really not bad for a summer scent, I think. I did have to reapply it after about 4-5 hours, but who cares at that price :-D
I can’t understand the hate for this one.

Summer in Bottle
I was able to test this fragrance for the first time through a sample, and I must say I understand the hype. It is a wonderful spicy summer scent - I would even say one of the best summer perfumes I have ever smelled.
The citrus notes come to the fore immediately upon spraying, accompanied by pepper. It even slightly reminds me of Three De Hermes. I’m sure I will receive hate for the comparison, but it is what it is. I find that at the beginning, especially with the top notes, there are noticeable parallels.
I perceive a light, elegant "green" in both versions.
After a while, sweet notes emerge from the apple, but still in a masculine tone. Followed by slightly smoky/resinous notes.
A very successful and, above all, complex scent, which I am not usually accustomed to in summer fragrances - hats off.
I was also able to test the Cologne, but the difference is not very large. The Cologne is fresher, more vibrant. The perfume exudes more masculinity.
We don't need to talk about the price. I will probably wait for good offers or souks; in the meantime, I am satisfied with the samples, and I can imagine that there are also more affordable dupes available.
The longevity is quite good overall - sprayed at noon and still noticeable on the clothes about 6-7 hours later - for a summer scent, that’s surprisingly strong.
Sillage is good but not overly strong, making it very suitable as an office or everyday scent!
A fresh everyday scent for just €450 for 50ml. I think it is a very fair and accommodating offer from Roja. Thank you for that.

good and affordable
Oud Mood is of very high quality and, in my opinion, is on par with Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkjian; I even think the two fragrances smell almost identical. Compared to Oud Satin Mood, Oud Mood is available for almost 1/10 of the price, and it even has more ml :-D so in terms of price-performance ratio, this thing is unbeatable, and as already mentioned, its quality is also quite good. The bottle may not be the prettiest, but it's not ugly either; for just under thirty euros, you really can't complain.
Before I get the MFK Oud S. Mood, I would rather reach for this more affordable twin.

The longevity is phenomenal, and the sillage is great; everyone can perceive it, and it performs very well on skin and clothes for a long time.
As an oud lover, I find this fragrance a bit too light and overly dominated by the rose, which makes it feel somewhat feminine to me, but not so much that a "man" couldn't wear it. The same is true for the 10 times more expensive counterpart from MFK, so I can recommend it to any rose/oud fan.
I would only wear this fragrance in winter/evenings due to its heaviness and somewhat darker DNA.

best summer scent
Perfect vacation scent. Smells like mandarin peel and very refreshing.
Mandarino di Amalfi is, for me, the best summer scent by far. I must say, I also enjoy wearing it in other seasons because the scent has made me somewhat addicted to it. The fresh mandarin is very noticeable to me and to the people around me, at least as long as it projects :D. And that brings us to the only negative aspect of Tom Ford - M. di Amalfi - the longevity. After 2-3 hours, there's hardly anything left to smell of the fragrance, and you have to reapply, which is the case with most citrus/fresh scents. Unfortunately, its price is set very high, even though you don’t get to enjoy it for long.
Still, it is one of my favorite fragrances with a natural freshness that everyone in my vicinity has liked so far.
