So,
Today i think i got my first sensation of the barnyard oud smell people talk about and it was in a fragrance i really wanted to like, it's in the title so you know what it is.
I have seen others have the same reaction to the opening, especially as i had, which made me feel literally sick. I don't know if it is because i have been unwell the last few days, but i don't think so as it has been more of a headache kind of sick i have had. When i sprayed it i honestly got barnyard and latex and i will admit as time is going by i am becoming accustomed to the smell but boy that first spray, just no!
I often like linear scents due to the reason that sometimes non-linear fragrances can have stages that smell awful and the stages you prefer can be the most fleeting of them all so if you get a linear scent that you love at the start you know you are going to enjoy it throughout the entire wear. Too many people give linear fragrances a bad name, when there are times that you are thankful you have a nice smell from start to finish.
Today though, boy am i glad this is a nonlinear scent
Have any of you had this reaction to your first strong oud fragrance, or to "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" itself?
Is "Oud Stars - Alexandria III | XerJoff" similar or is it worth a try?
