Woah! This is heavy as hell and I should of expected it from Heeley. I often write witty concise reviews in my head which are full of interesting new words instead of the same old cliches I spout so frequently. Then when I come to write the review...Gone! Oh well The insanely sweet, Turkish delight rose in this creation provoked a completely different reaction the first time I tried it. I got an oud note in the very first sniff then detected a super sweet rose which just gets more and more pronounced, to which I thought this is going to be a Montale like effort and I'm going to hate it. Somehow it crossed over and got so intensely rosy and concentrated that it went all the way back around from awful to exquisite. It's very much like the Bubblegum chic in that it's so pungent it smells as far from natural or even floral as you can get and become a atomic chemical monstrosity, like some sort of food additive concentrate that's meant to be diluted at 1ppm. The result was weirdly enough I liked it for being so bonkers and FULL ON! My second trial came today and upon application I got a similar effect except this time I got the usual powder of expensive high end rose/oud's... a sickening urinal cake vibe, complete with urine! Maybe my skin was different today? I've really no idea? So I can't really decide what's going on? One thing is for sure Agarwoud is a nuts and has to be tried by rose lovers.
