The opening has a flash of bergamot giving a green citrus edge to a powerful rose and oud. What the synthetic jungle essence is, I don't know, but I find the oud to be quite chemical and rubbery. Maybe it's my skin, maybe it's the other notes mingling. It's been around 30 minutes and the rubbery smell is fading. I will update later into the dry down.
4 hours in - any harshness has gone and I now have a sweet, woody, aromatic rose oud. A little dankness there, maybe just the oud, could be the patchouli.
