Maahagoni

The Sweetie Aoud is not just another gourmand that is clapped on as sweet and kitschy. No, it is different:
The fragrance is actually reminiscent of darker bakery notes, a bakery in which the smell of coffee, steaming croissants and sweet deserts are perfectly combined in the air. Nothing stands out, nothing disturbs, everything is perfectly woven into this noble symphony. It is therefore difficult to describe a fragrance progression. However, the fragrance certainly does not lack the necessary depth and complexity: spicy, sweet, a little woody, a pinch of oud, everything has its place and comes together perfectly here.

The fragrance is therefore one of those very fine perfumes, nothing that needs to be over the top to stand out. For once, it strikes the perfect balance between the two sexes, being neither overly feminine nor overly masculine.

So if you are prepared to dig deep into your wallet, you will get an exceptionally sophisticated, subtle and gourmand fragrance that is sure to be fun in winter.

Admittedly, this fragrance will not appeal to everyone, as it seems unusual at first:

At the beginning, a pack of hyenas jumps out at you, with a beehive buzzing in the background with delicious honey. The fragrance therefore begins in a clearly animalistic way, it has this rather sour animalism with which the sweet honey struggles in the course of the fragrance.
After a while, the sweetness asserts itself without ever becoming overpowering or even sticky. Rather, it becomes a wonderful, subtle amber fragrance that is underpinned by a very fine black note.

In my opinion, this is Xerjoff's highest-quality fragrance in its own range. It can therefore cost more.

Conclusion: A strong test recommendation for daring oud enthusiasts who can cope with "working their way into" a fragrance over a certain period of time before appreciating it all the more.

I bought this fragrance specifically as a summer freshie. However, to dismiss it as just a "freshie" would not do the fragrance justice. Despite its terrific freshness, it has an elegant woody base that is typical of Aventus.
The course of the fragrance:
At the beginning, you get a juicy mandarin, which becomes more layered thanks to the ginger and a minimal pinch of pepper. This gives the fragrance the necessary assertiveness so that it radiates very well at the beginning. Over time, the tangerine note and the ginger spiciness fade. However, a certain fruitiness remains until the end, with the pineapple note in the background, although it is only very subtle. After an unfortunately not overly long time, about 4 hours in my case, the fragrance fades out fruity-woody, becoming increasingly dry, starting from the juicy beginning.

Conclusion: A juicy-fresh summer fragrance which, despite its freshness, has a certain depth thanks to a woody-dry counterpoint in the fragrance notes. Aventus has been turned into a fruity-fresh fragrance and given a certain sharpness. Recommended for summer!

...is this fragrance. Anyone can read the notes for themselves, but the combination is perfect: floral - without being flowery - mojito, without being tipsy - spicy, without exuding old-man vibes. Everything is very finely tuned.

The fragrance literally radiates the message "yes, I can", I can spend a relatively large amount of money on a "freshie". But is it worth it?
Certainly not at the RRP, but it is highly doubtful that too many people will pay this price for this brand. At half price, the fragrance is still expensive, but it is definitely worth it due to its special nature.

To set the record straight: only hasty smelling and a hasty judgment could lead to this fragrance being judged as "already smelled a thousand times". You have to get involved with the fragrance and test it a few times. Then it grows on you. It is the noblest freshie I know of, which is still very usable even at high temperatures. Its main season is certainly spring, when the apple tree sprouts its blossoms.

In any case, I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I am very sure that the fragrance will stay with me until the end.

Welcome to the temple of elite fragrance connoisseurs, where you'll feel the banknotes flying off your skin after spraying it on. Is it worth it? Yes and no. It depends on what you expect from a fragrance:

At the beginning, blue lotus and a subtle coffee greet you, the oud is still hidden (is this the punishment?). However, there is not too much punishment in this fragrance, the oud is very well balanced, never becomes too acidic, acts as a contrast to the florality, animalic subtly contained, reminds me of a lion's skin (or my fantasy of the same).
This fragrance is criminally expensive, but it combines florality with animalism/spice with such artistic skill that the sin of acquisition comes to mind.

Conclusion:
Absolutely extraordinary fragrance painting, a Picasso of discreet animalism.
