The first comment on this fragrance, but here I am not surprised. The O'Douds brand is extremely unknown in the perfume world, but in the hair styling scene it's one of the most famous brands. A brief explanation: O'Douds is a small American homebrew business. Homebrew, which means "brewing at home", has nothing to do with alcohol in this case. O'Douds mainly produces hairstyling products, which they make at home in their own garage, in their own laboratory etc. with high-quality ingredients. This ranges from the classic pomade to modern pastes, clays etc. Meanwhile, there are many manufacturers who produce their products at home, relatively high quality, of course. And so it happens that these small companies are expanding their product ranges more and more. For their hair products they partly produce their own fragrances (really awesome!) and from this they sometimes create their own perfumes, like this one.
Just a quick trip to where the stuff actually comes from.
Well, what does tobacco rum smell like? As the name suggests, you'll notice a lot of sweet tobacco with a nice rum note, and at first a hint of smokiness (probably a combination of tobacco and cedar wood). Later the rum recedes a bit and a smoky-woody base remains. Definitely not a mainstreamer, but certainly a successful fragrance composition of its own. I think some people here would like it quite well.
By the way, you can now also buy the fragrances in Germany, just google them.

Rarely has a title been more appropriate for a fragrance as it is here. A brief explanation: I also own the Dior Homme Intense, of course. For me, a dark, slightly powdery note of iris stands out. I can only smell the lipstick slightly here, but I'd classify the fragrance as unisex with masculine nuances. When I didn't know the perfume variant yet, I thought: "Come on, this is the boss fragrance par excellence! Incredibly authoritarian, dark, elegantly dressed, beyond any doubt! Durability eight meters against the wind, my colleagues can still perceive my scent cloud even 10 minutes after me in the corridor! And that is exactly how the Dior Homme Intense still smells to me.
Why am I telling you this? Well, half a year later, I sprayed Dior Homme perfume in a perfumery. "Boa smells horny, he is even darker, more authoritarian, more elegant than the DHI!"
And then the analogy fell from my eyes like scales: darker, even more authoritarian than the boss himself? That must be the boss's wife, she really wears the pants!
Perfume is truly above all when it comes to power and authority. I smell a very dark iris, this time without any lipstick at all, paired with a subtle leather wrap, a slight orange note at the beginning and a dark woody note that comes along with it. For me a fragrance that every man must have smelled 18 times, an absolute bang.
Durability really incredibly long, Sillage very strong. You definitely get noticed. It's a shame that even with this one, I get fragrance-blind very quickly.
There are few prints in the B-note: unfortunately, I find very few possibilities to wear the fragrance. In principle, I would never wear it above 15°C, if only with a sprayer. For me, it's more suitable in winter, but in the office it's only sensible to wear it with care because of its power.

In conclusion, if you think you have found the King of Fragrances, Dior Homme Perfume is clearly the King's wife!

...is what we say in Bavaria when we give someone the Watschn, which is shaped by the spiritual Trinity (after Hannes Ringlstetter). In other words, a reddened child's cheek caused by a horizontal hand movement. At the same time a nice pun, to come back to the Aventus.
I like him, I don't like him... that's a good way to describe Aventus for me. Aventus was the first niche perfume I bought. At that time proudly unpacked like Oskar and sprayed on it. "Hmm, smells like gummi bears?" That's when I received the ominous batch 18K01, which actually smells like gummi bears. And from then on it started that I tried my way through different batches of the Aventus, meanwhile I have tried 2 bottles at home and a total of 10 different batches. First of all: I have never seen a perfume where the same product from different years smells so different. But really: Sometimes I smell a lot of pineapple, sometimes more vanilla, sometimes more apple, sometimes more smoke. But somehow they all have one thing in common: at the beginning I am almost overwhelmed by how beautiful it smells. But after 2 hours at the latest I don't notice anything anymore. Thank God this is not because of the poor durability of the perfume, but because of my scent blindness. Extremely pity.
The environment can perceive you very well and for a very long time. Depending on the age of the batch even too much in case of overdose.

At one of the bigger folk festivals in the area (or also known as "Kirwa", "Kirchweihfest" ,or for all those who came to the area: similar to the "Oktoberfest") I got a compliment from the good-looking lady across the street after 8 (!!) hours of smelling of beer, sweat and Bavarian mood. Madness, I thought to myself at that time.
One month later I was talking to a friend at a bigger party, whom I only see 1-2 times a year. So after 10 minutes he stated (5-6 hours after spraying, same batch as above): "Boa you smell good, dude!"

Bottom line: Cool stuff! Even though you can't smell it as strong or not at all, the Aventus holds like pitch and sulphur (at least my batches from 17' to 19'). Positive attention from female AND male side is very likely. If I could still perceive it myself in intensity, like in the beginning, I would give it a 10.5

My first comment! That I can still experience this. Why the title? Back then, almost 6 years ago, I started my studies. Christmas was just around the corner and I wanted to give my old man a present. After I had usually given wine, high-proof or the like as a present, I thought, this year maybe a perfume. So as an absolute newcomer I went to the blue D. I remember I had smelled my way through at least half of the men's fragrance assortment. I was inexperienced as I was then, I sprayed the fragrances with 5 sprayers on the stripes and smelled them directly on them. Of course, almost everything smelled like alcohol to me, no wonder. Then finally. I liked this JPG with the funny square on it. Firstly, because I didn't know how to pronounce it as a student of a natural science course, and secondly because it smelled so soft and slightly sweet. I didn't have vanilla in mind at the time, but somehow it was the perfume that smelled the most pleasant to me. So I took it with me and gave the old man a 30 or 40ml bottle

Leap in time to the present: The JPG is still in his bathroom, I would estimate that there is still a third in it. Of course, according to him, he never wore it, who believes it ;)
The other day, when I went to dinner with him in the evening, I applied two-three sprayers after showering. Zack! Right to the owner of the restaurant, "Uh, who smells so good?" When I then explained that this was my father's perfume, the expression on his face was of course very amusing for me.
It's a pity it's no longer in production. Very dark, sweet, but also elegant. Durability enormously long, you will definitely be noticed.
But as long as I still have some leftovers at Pap's, they will take it from time to time :)
