Just as I was thinking 24 Gold must have been a rare freak occurrence an absolute gem of a fragrance which stood out head and shoulders above anything in its price range...I got my nose on this. Another blind buy on the strength of 24 Gold might I add and I never expected it to be as good but Scent story have done it again an absolutely superb fragrance which smells so high end niche it's ridiculous. I also mirror the comment below...How is there not Oud in this??? EVERYBODY!!! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS SMELLS MORE DEFINITIVELY OF OUD THAN 80% OF FRAGRANCES RELEASED WITH OUD IN THE NAME. Strong Oud was the thing I smelled and in abundance right away...super ambery (more so even than Gold) thick, opulent, princely aroma. The rose makes this deep, complex and to me more than a little reminiscent of classic rose/Oud combos but with the vanilla which brings it into a new creamier realm. The fruitiness stays long into the dry down giving this fragrance yet more dimensions which smooth but spicy balsam and resin notes too. Needless to say I'm mega impressed by this fragrance and yet again the 24 range has a winner and a world beating scent in 24 Platinum. Stunning! Longevity and projection are monstrous much like Gold. If three fragrances I loved had a child it would be 24 platinum and the contributors are Armani prive myrrhe imperiale By Killian Incense Oud Scent story 24 Gold Praise indeed!
