Rosey-floral Indian oud with acrid accents. Close to skin after 1 hour. It speaks like one of the Essences. Do you really want to hear it?

Does exactly what it says on the tin, neat resinous oud. It is the real thing but at 600 USD we have more competitive options.

The #1 iconic masculine (?) fragrance that follows the teachings of Kotler. LVMH clearly understands the 7Ps very well.

20 minutes of petrichor, then creamy sandalwood + cashmeran iodine = Saltal 33. Quirky but price is the killer as per Zoo canon.

Starts w/ balsamic blast. Recedes in leafy violet + musk + leathery (VERY tame for being "untamed") animal hide. Soft overall.

Bitter, fatty cocoa meets dusty, aromatic tobacco. Creamy, honeyed civet vs cold earth (iris, oud). Smoky, resinous depth with oily leather.

Absurdly, slightly more complex than Carios and carrying similar accentuated synth traits. Performance is lackluster.

An unusual Chypre with the Russian Adam DNA. Nicely green and woody with smooth iris. Very underrated ALD perfume!

PSA - Since your budget is around $320, I’d recommend exploring indie houses that work with (Mysore) sandalwood.

Similar to War and Peace III construction w/ smoky violet. Projects more, but the trade-off is a marked synthetic presence, presumably civet

Bitter citrus develops in interesting 'carnal' play between genderless florals et tame civet. Resinous smoky oud + ambergris background.

Airy camphorated oud supporting an initially bitter flower bouquet ending w/ ylang-ylang. 3-staged development, 20h+ on skin.

Once initial yuzu disappears all is left is a metallic incense. It could have been an ELDO release... Meh-ffei ;)

Smells like a fistfull of Skittles. And this might be my favorite of the whole line. Isn’t it great to push everything as unisex?

No Limit$ is good but this is even better! Love the blackcurrant. Don’t want to be found dead with that bottle though.

Milk that’s gone slightly sour. Let’s throw in some herbs to cover it up!

Raw, industrial oud + smooth, fatty cocoa. Very simple, but high quality blend. Think beauty and the beast without rose.

Honestly not sure what stands out the most. Raspberry and rose, some iris, some lavender. A creamy, fruity, jammy blend. A lot going on!

Liquid Brun is a gourmand with an even more synthetic, off-putting vanilla than Althaïr, wrapped in cinnamon, cardamom and cloying praliné.

Spiced, resinous smoke to start - think Afgano x Trex mashup + charred caramel. Candied, fruity oud in drydown. Better in air than to wear.

A very sweet and slightly spicy, almost nutmeggy gourmand. Very smoothly blended rum, too, which I'd initially thought wouldn't work for me.

Pretty predictable from the note pyramid. Mostly saffron and sandalwood. Naturally, the quality is there, but it’s painfully linear.

Crazy amounts of: you guessed it, oregano. It’s the woody part that’s bothering me though. The notes just don’t match very well.

That bottle truly is godawful but the juice is unexpectedly good leathery stuff!

So complex, your brain needs a minute to process. Sharp, piney, medicinal. Yet comforting and balsamic. “If I were a rich man, lalalala”
