Right then, This perfume instantly reminded me of my significant other. I don't think it's like anything she would wear but somehow I got the association, Not sure she'd be too happy about that because it smells musty, smoky slightly obnoxious and soaked in booze. (which is not wildly inaccurate I think she'd agree?) Anyhow, this is a very clever shrouding of the tired oud/rose combo theme which has been a persistent feature in niche brand lineups for the past decade or so. The fact that the leather accord and spice top notes cover up for the sweet rosiness which becomes more apparent in the drydown actually makes for a much more refined experience. It's not loud and sharp like the other oud from AdP this one is much more toned down but still stiked with incense spices. The opening smells like a peaty, whisky to me and actually reminded me of Lagavulin, which in turn I have often said tastes like drinking bandages & oud oil. So whether there's real oud oil or material bases made with real oud or not, the accord is certainly reminiscent of certain types of oud, to me at least. It also reminded me a little of a very whisky, fragrance, Atelier cologne Gold leather, which Oud & spice momentarily reminds me of (but smokier/earthier) also texturally speaking reminded me a little of Patchouli Intense by Nicolai (doesn't smell overtly like it) Then rose chimes in more and more, adding some sweetness but it's a bit of dirt like that bulls blood fragrance from that one that's all books? y'know? WTF are they called? Imaginary Authors that's it! This is way more palatable though, I like it, it's not bad, but it's not great either.
