Okay 14 is a bit more of a 'standard' outing. Still it's better than most of the tired, hackneyed, oud/rose shite that comes out. So when an 'Oud' really smells of real oud to me, it's notable, not being snobby there just saying. I actually like synth oud accords but it's such a broad church Oud has kinda become the jazz of perfumery. There are no wrong notes. A woody amber incense accord of ANY nature has the oud label slapped on it. Anyway, main thing is that it's a well blended, not stupid rose, it doesn't smell cheap, it's complex, woody but has a the bright, breezy theme copy and pasted (in a good way) throughout these fragrances, made more impressive by the fact that they are done by different perfumes. Obviously the strong brief and expertise has yielded success this time. I'm not hopping up and down and I probably am not really looking to wear it again but I think it's a decent perfume, a good effort all around.
