I haven't smelled many oud fragrances so far, but this one really intrigued me. It has been discussed quite controversially. Finally, I got to enjoy a sample, and what can I say, I am positively surprised. I will neither hate nor hype here, but report soberly and neutrally. Yes, at first it is animalic. My wife says it smells like rose with the poopy diapers of our two-year-old. However, the animalic aspect fades quite quickly. The longer Oud 31 is on the skin, the better it gets. It develops into a creamy, rosy, and vanilla-amber direction. The longevity is good, and the sillage is as well. After about 6 hours, I only perceive it subtly. All in all, it's something successfully different, although the top note is obviously off-putting for most. I think it's cool, but at that price, it probably won't find a place in my collection.

Addendum: The more I wear it, the more I get used to the animalic opening, I even start to appreciate it.

So, here I am writing my first review.

Since my wife has already tried Halwa Kiss and Red Redemption, and I was positively surprised by the quality and price/performance ratio, I got myself the Infusion Velours as a sample. And I must say, it did not disappoint me. The fragrance notes read somewhat similar to Ombre Nomade, but in my opinion, the two have almost nothing in common. The Infusion Velours starts with a beautifully warm, spicy, almost chocolatey blackberry opening, and quite quickly, the frankincense joins in. After a few hours, the scent evolves into a beautifully dark oud/berry direction. I applied four sprays to my skin at 5 AM, and by 3 PM, the scent was still pleasant for both me and my wife. Ojar can do longevity! And the sillage is also more than satisfactory. There are fragrances that last forever, but only up close; this one you can smell until the bitter end!

This definitely needs to join my collection as a bottle, maybe also as an oil…
