ATH's Oud 2020 - In or Out?!
Absolutely no "typical" oud fragrance!

The so popular Tom Ford Oud Wood comes against it (value-free) angular, edgy, dry and the typical oud is the complete fragrance course very woody superficially present.

Aarons Oud 2020 starts quite perceptible (as the name reveals) with oud, which is also present in the entire course of the fragrance, but it acts from the beginning very round and soft.
After the start, first fresh, then ripe fruits join in. Yes, I smell actually, raspberries, dried dates and also amber from the pyramid.
Oud moves more and more into the background remains but somehow, somewhere still there. Vanilla comes in and it remains fruit-sweet, but not too or even disturbingly sweet.

Longevity & sillage are as expected just on a damn good level, however, not as extreme and "intrusive" as other ATH's.

Somewhere between TF and ATH, by the way, I would sort Carved Oud by Thameen. MMn also an absolutely successful and balanced Oud fragrance.

Incredibly unique fragrance with a short course
The first time applied and I thought OK, you can do but you must not!
The second time applied and, lo and behold, something has the fragrance yet, something different, interesting!
The third attempt and me was in the evening (despite darkness) clear as day, this fragrance definitely makes it into my modest but steadily growing collection.

Yes, I also smell cola at the beginning, if you want to differentiate even more precisely, something between cola, cherry, and vanilla cola with a dash of lemon and pleasant sweetness, which remains!
The "effervescent" disappears quite quickly, but is still always latent, very restrained present.
Enigma is now more adult, it comes flambé cognac, ginger beer, tobacco and fine spices. The vanilla from the vanilla cola also remains present throughout the fragrance.

It was also mentioned here, the fragrance develops quite quickly, however, then the high performance remains very long and the durability is enormous for the "only" Cologne version. He does not fill rooms and the projection is rather close to the body when used with restraint. However, the range can be increased well with appropriate dosage.

Sounds actually all quite unspectacular.... BUT, what actually makes the fragrance and is difficult to put into words, is the incredible soothing warmth that radiates this Roja fragrance.
I could unfortunately not yet test the Enigma pH Parfum and pH Eau de Parfum, but am already very very curious...

Yuck, burnt wood!?
With relatively little expectation, I ersoukt me for the "winter days" here a sample.
More as a gag on neck and forearm sprayed... He really starts very very woody, in fact, I smell even burnt wood... extremely unique.

Was that it? No!
The scent evolves into a soul-satisfier in front of the campfire. He becomes even softer, even rounder and strikes from the woody into the spicy into the not too sweet (honey, vanilla). All very gently with fluent soft transitions without at some point disturbing or obtrusive to act.
Absolutely unisex fragrance, even the biggest fragrance critic (my wife) he has noticed positive and was worn by her the next day.

I have to date yet no perfume with such a unique scent course met.
Compliments to the perfumer!

Even if not ideally wearable at any time of year an absolute purchase recommendation from my side!

Mercedes or Maybach?
I compare here Elysium Cologne with Elysium Pour Homme...

I received a fragrance sample of the cologne and was blown away. As often described, the scent starts very citrusy and it actually remains in the entire course. It joins at some point pepper and spicy herbs, but the fragrance never loses its cool freshness as a base. I find an absolute high-quality, uncomplicated all-rounder with relatively unspectacular scent progression, but he has something absolutely special for me.

Can this be increased? Certainly! I ordered myself a sample of the Pour Homme and have today both on my skin directly compared. The start is almost identical, with the PH from the beginning a little more restrained and rounder. In the course of the fragrance it is then somewhat sweeter and more vanilla.
H&S is (at least on my skin) unfortunately even something "worse" than with the Cologne.

So, back to the title... Elysium PH is for me the Maybach in direct comparison, more expensive, more exclusive and more dignified.
Do I want to drive a Maybach or rather a fast, rough S63? Currently I have decided for the Mercedes, speak for the somewhat more angular, louder nevertheless absolutely everyday life-suited car, um perfume the Elysium Cologne with excellent range! ?
