Words can't describe how fantastic this stuff is. One of the most complex, intricate, yet versatile and mass-appealing fragrances ever made.
The opening a refreshing, but gentle mix of citrus, with some light floral/rose- super clean. After a few minutes, the warm spices start to shine, cinnamon and cardamom creating this spicy-sweet accent to the edges of the florals. The pimento also starts to become quite noticeable, adding to the spice while also bringing a degree of green into the mix.
As it dries down further, the citrus completely fades away and is replaced by this incredible musky, ambergis-like airy element, which make for a beautiful, incredibly unique transition. Kind of loke the first half is a spicy floral rose kept fresh by citrus, into a spicy floral rose kept fresh by the airy musk.
Despite the name having "oudh" in it, you will be disappointed going in hoping for an oud fragrance. I don't find the oud to be very noticeable at all- more serving to add depth to the rose and spices.
Overall, this truly is a work of art that's unlike any other fragrance in my collection. It's the perfect office fragrance for a niche lover, as it's easy, clean, fresh, slightly sweet, and mass-appealing, while also having incredible depth and complexity for enthusiasts to pick apart endlessly. It's not in my top 5 favorite fragrances, but it's easily in my top 5 "greatest" fragrances, and my single favorite fragrance to wear to work.
