Utopian Freshie
Incident Light is described as solar citrus and pure utopian joy, and I think that description is bang on.
This is a Citrusy, Fresh, Aldehydic, and Aquatic scent, and honestly quite good. It starts with strong Citrus notes, some Aldehydes, and it maintains its light, fresh demeanor well. I find Incident Light hard to hate because it reminds me of one of the first fragrances I ever owned, D&G Light Blue, except this is more of an Ideal version of that, one could say utopian. Regardless, I associate this with lying out on a lawn chair set on a perfectly mowed and maintained suburban yard, with some citrusy drink nearby.
The unfortunate thing about this is that If I wanted a "light blue" scent profile, I wouldn't pay $165 for 50ml. Other drawbacks are that like with every freshie, its sillage and longevity are not particularly astounding.
I could see this doing well in business, sporty, or casual settings, and I feel this would be best worn in Spring/Summer.

Mossy Forest
The smell of Cashmere Oud wasn't at all what I was expecting, though my only experience with cashmere is with those expensive sweaters that rich folk seem to love.
I associate this fragrance with some mossy forest dampened by a consistent blanket of light rain. Needless to say, this is a Spicy, Earthy, Woody fragrance, which I found myself liking more and more as I smelled it. It's not a crowd pleaser, not everyone will like it, though it's not offensive by any means, this fragrance knows exactly what it is, and that's what I like about it.
I would say this would work well in Transitional seasons, like Spring/Fall, Its a nice clean, masculine scent, and would do well for most all occasions.

For the Honey enthusiasts
Immediately after spraying the Honey notes in this fragrance were quite prevalent, almost to the point of being cloying. Ive only smelled 2 other fragrances that have that sort of vibe to it, those being Zoologist Bee, and TF Tobacco Vanille.
The name is ALMOST spot on though, the Tobacco is definitely Honeyed, but I don't really detect any Oud in the fragrance, which doesn't take it down any marks because I'm just not a huge fan of Oud as ive discovered with Habibi's "Oud Discovery set". In my opinion, the Tobacco isn't too strong in this, but it's definitely there. I believe it enhances the sweetness of the Honey while adding some richness to the overall feel.
Overall, if you enjoy Honey, sweet fragrances, Tobacco Vanille, or anything adjacent, you will probably like this fragrance. This is NOT something one should wear if they are in a professional environment, but it would be perfect for any cozy scenario, and would do well in Fall/Winter.

Easy intro to oud
Urban Oud is a very approachable Oud scent. It is a "Clean" Oud, almost to the point of feeling sterile, but of course it still retains a bit of the funky woodiness of the Oud itself. It reminds me of TF Oud Wood with that same "Clean" Oud w/o any barnyard funk. Overall, the scent is not bad whatsoever, with a fresh, clean profile that won't choke those around you. I could see this being worn in an office setting, or really any minimalist environment, due to its inoffensive, clean nature.
