Why the hell Jonathan Frakes?
Don’t ask me why, but this fragrance immediately makes me think of Jonathan Frakes. Not the Star Trek one - something darker, just like X-Factor.

To me, this scent is deeply mysterious, maybe even too mysterious. It’s not for everyone. It’s for people who want to embody that quiet, intimidating presence at a party: reserved, confident, almost untouchable. The same kind of people who think wearing a leather jacked makes you look "sigma".

Cringe comparisons aside, Oud Stallion filled a real gap in my collection.

Originally, I planned to buy Oud Maracujá, but once the hype train started rolling, I lost interest (like everybody should). But my main goal was it to make Maison Crivelli richer, so I bought Oud Stallion instead.

If I had to describe it creatively, I’d call it a fusion of Ombre Leather and Ombre Nomade. Rough yet refined. Sweet, leathery, slightly spicy (?).
Performance is outstanding, L/S is incredible.

This is definitely not a people pleaser. But that’s exactly the point of wearing niche, right?

PLEASE DONT WEAR IT WITH A WHITE SHIRT
I love this scent. It’s easily one of the best summer fragrances I own.

However, it’s extremely oily. If you spray it on your skin and then lie in the sun, you’ll be medium rare within 30 minutes.

You can wear it with a white shirt - just make sure you’re ready to buy a new one.

It’s super fruity and sweet, but not the headache-inducing kind of sweet. It’s actually very pleasant. Not too heavy either, which is exactly why I see it as a true summer scent.

When I wear it, I picture myself on the Italian coast, holding an Aperol, enjoying the heat.

The price is fair for the quality you get. In my humble opinion, this is a go-to fragrance if you’re looking for a long-lasting summer scent.

And yes, my white shirts did turn slightly yellow in the areas where I sprayed it. I just bought new ones.

Kentucky Derby reloaded
The champagne and strawberry accord always reminds me of horse races.
Not the smell of horse shit - but the people sitting in the lounges.

Drinking champagne, surrounded by a powdery aura, eating strawberries for three dollars a piece, and casually losing college-tuition amounts on a horse named “Mickey Mouse.” Most likely drunk.

And if you’re now thinking of a woman......that’s wrong. To me, this is clearly a male scent. I can’t really explain why, but that’s the feeling it gives me.

This fragrance also signals money. Enough money. Because with how often you have to respray it throughout the day to keep it noticeable, you should probably plan on three to four bottles for a three-day horse race event.

Longevity and sillage could definitely be better, not a hater, but could be better.

That said, if it’s really hot outside, this is your go-to scent. Clean, rich, and effortless.

Rose in a bottle
My first niche ever. And hell yeah it hits.

A loveable and strong scent you can wear on your dates, party and who ever you want to seduce.
Super sweet, basically sticks to my skin for like days, even more on clothes.

If you want to get noticed, that's your way to go.

Also, I like the way how they worked with the Oud. And it makes me also curious, how they manage to take a cow shit smell, put a bunch of rose to it and make it smell like a dark romantic icon.
(You can't smell the cow shit anymore).

So it's a go from me, and I often have a problem of getting headaches from some heavier scents. Its in my opinion one of the best rose scents I've ever tried.

You don't want to be completely mainstream?
Yeah, its similar to reba pure, just in non-as-mainstream.

I love that scent, got so many compliments with it, but it gets more and more mainstream.
But fortunately, its not on the same level as erba pure.

So if you want a erba pura in more undercover -> Your way to got.
L/S is okay, could be better not on erba pura level. Still good tho
