How excited please was I about this fragrance and generally the brand Zoologist.... I received a first sample of the brand and had to try this directly... I wanted to know how a camel should smell.
Well..I had to really smile while smelling it, because actually the scent starts out incredibly animalic and also familiar.... Wait...it smells like animal stable...not necessarily mega unpleasant, but interesting! In addition, there are then a few "oriental" ingredients, and you have "Camel"..There could be but also a donkey or a cow on it... but with Camel has developed an intelligent fragrance marketingtechnisch.

After 5h I still notice the "animal stable", but strongly attenuated.... Vanilla? Tonka? Orange? Rose? Missing! At least my "amateur nose" can't smell that out.... I notice only the incense / myrrh, minimal sweetness and the "cowshed"... do not know what exactly it is.
I can definitely agree with "Flanker" on most points. I don't think the scent is bad, but do I want to smell like this...? I don't think so. Am curious about other fragrances from the house Zoologist.

The fragrance has disappointed me unfortunately. Am a big fan of Pegasus, the more excited I was about the sample. The fragrance pyramid appeals to me directly: Bitter almond, amber, jasmine..
Unfortunately, it is much too sweet for me and has only minimally the special of the Pegasus... the could also pass as a "normal" designer fragrance (no offense!). But if I pay over 200€ for a fragrance and this also bears "Exclusif" in the name, I expect something more exclusivity (pun ;) ).
Sure, he is not bad, but by no means better than the "normal" Pegasus for me (and for many other Parfumos here yes probably also).

One notices at the beginning immediately a certain similarity to the Pegasus. Immediately thereafter, this somewhat too intrusive sweetness (I do not know exactly what it is) drowns out the otherwise so great fragrance... too bad actually (my wallet is happy of course^^). Performance is good and better than the normal... the only plus point for me.

Too bad.

Short form: unique, slightly "light" oud fragrance, which needs about 20-30mij to develop its full potential. The longer on the skin, the better.

Long Story:
It was a Saturday before some. Years ago, when I went to the KaDeWe to test Aventus... quickly a salesman came to me and we talked... I meant that I hoped for more from Aventus... sure he is not bad, but I miss the WOW, so the 200€ are justified...
He showed me Royal Oud and sprayed it on me... I pulled a face and found him very unpleasant... he then: yes, the custom of his time... look around even further and after about 20min you will come back and thank me...
And yes... he was absolutely right. After some time I really went back to him and thanked him for this extraordinary beautiful scent, which in my opinion is completely wrongly in the shadow of Aventus :)
By the way: I also showed the scent to my brother, and he also spoiled his face. I used the same words as def feiner Herr im KaDeWe, and lo and behold: he did pick up the sample he had offered before from me afterwards.

It's a great scent that takes time to develop. Can be worn all year round without attracting attention. It's certainly not for everyone, but that's a good thing. For me, the best Creed before Viking. Aventus comes after. But that is a matter of taste :)

This fragrance can undoubtedly be worn all year round: Freshly flowery in summer and not too sweet. In the colder days sweet enough never to be unpleasant.

Why the title? Well, it's simply a fragrance with which you can do virtually nothing wrong. It's neither too intrusive nor does it hide. I introduced the fragrance to some friends and no one found it unpleasant. I used terms like: Flower garden, holidays, perfect son-in-law, everybody's darling ...)
At the beginning I smell a peppery orange, then the beautiful jasmine becomes more and more active and stays active for 8 hours. Vetiver and wood are always elegant in the background.

And yes, it's NO ordinary Amouage. It's my only one so far. It has little "typical" oriental in itself (no heavy scent). At most you could call him an Arab who lives in Europe and forgot his oud ;)
He is deservedly at the top of the men's fragrance list (in my opinion, much more interesting than Herod).
In addition, the very high-quality packaging and the flacon with magnetic closure. Here you pay not only for the fragrance!

For me, it is the perfect introduction to the world of fragrances from Amouage

I landed this scent by chance on YouTube. Fortunately I was able to test it in a small fine shop in Berlin Neukölln and took it with me because of the value for money.
The fragrance is for all those who like a nice, warm, heavy vanilla scent with a very good value for money. It has real power and is not really suitable for office use, unless your colleagues like the scent :) It does not really change, it stays warm, vanilla, oriental.
Here and on YT people like to draw comparisons to MFK Out Satin Mood..I would not sign this in any way. Both fragrances are good, but to be honest: Oud Satin Mood is much more complex. That doesn't make Lattafa much worse, but in my opinion it's a completely different and simpler fragrance, but it also smells great. I don't really perceive "classic" oud. I like the colleague :)
