This Is pretty, but a little cloying for me. On my skin it gives the same medicinal oud smell as Oud Maracuja, especially with the passionfruit.
A fuity, rich, sweet floral oud with a little spice and smoke.
I can get the comparisons to angel although just a touch.
I have to say, that the opening few minutes are quite spectacular. It’s a powerful scent. Unfortunately after a few hours all the sweetness and all the glory is gone, and you’re left with a messy impression of L’Interdit Rouge. Tuberose and spice, but not nice at all.
This is based on a random sample but I really tried to give it a full wear multiple times but I can't. EDIT: No I would love to wear it nonstop. I don't know exactly what is bothering me here the most but the blend is cloying and it gives me a headache. If I'm checking the notes there is nothing which I don't like even if I haven't been wearing so much Tuberose dominant scents lately (love it though). This is blended very well and it's difficult to detect some individual notes. This is very potent as well which may be partly because I don't like this one but I think it's quite strong anyway and with this scent the less is more. EDIT: Sometimes perfumes are strange. Something made me curious to visit my sample again and the cloying part has totally disappeared. Now it's very smooth as well, still (luckily) tuberose doesn't stand out. It's still strong though and I think that it can easily cause headache but not for me anymore. Is this "Oud perfume"? No, it's not noticeable. Is this "Tuberose scent"? I would say no because there is so much other thing going on as well but for sure it's one of the notes which makes this very heady and easily dominate the concoction if you don't like it. Is this fruity? No and I'm disappointed not to even get a gentle whiff of Passionfruit. What about Vanilla? If Vanilla would perform like here I would hate it. Musk? I love it in almost all perfumes, but honestly here it does't give that sensual vibe. What about the comparisons below? Alien, Aura or even Angel by Mugler: I don't find any similarities and I love so much all of them. Alien has been mentioned many times but it's heady amazing Jasmine. Blonde Amber: nothing same but the headache from both. NR Musk Noir Rose: No, not even close and even if changing that into mature grandma scent (whatever that means), no. Unisex? Absolutely EDIT: This really is well blended and still all the notes merges perfectly. I still agree with my previous description of most of the notes. What I think differently, is that now I find that seductive character of this one. Tuberose is made beautifully since it differs a lot of the style nowadays. Vanilla and Passionfruit gives it fruity sweetness and musky base makes it classy, seductive, yet cozy. So it really does the sensual vibe. I don't have any idea how my thoughts can change this much during around 5-6 weeks. Now I smell all the beautiful little things in the notes in it but still I can't find Oud in it. I want to find always some good things about the perfumes and I think this is either love or hate fragrance. This is very complex and there is a quality but please sample first. This is not a safe blind buy. Unfortunately not for me but it doesn't mean that you wouldn't like it. EDIT: I need this as soon as possible! So, if you try it and don't like it, wait a couple of weeks even more. You may be as surprised as I am now! In this case I'm very happy that my sample was leaking a little bit since I got a sniff of it from time to time when I was just moving my sample. And today the magic happened and now I sprayed this heavily in my arms. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes

And today the magic happened and now I sprayed this heavily in my arms. MY FINAL REVIEW: Absolutely stunning blend where all the notes merges perfectly. Seductive, captivating, full-bodied, rich scent is a combination of fruity aroma, warm spicy touch of precious Saffron, creamy, silky white florals and dark tones from Patchouli, Myrrh and Ambery nuances. Tuberose is made beautifully since it differs a lot of the style nowadays. It’s not heady nor stands out so clearly which I’m used to but it’s glorious and impressive regardless. Vanilla and Passionfruit gives it fruity sweetness and musky base makes it classy, seductive, yet cozy. It really adds a sensual vibe to the dry down. I’m not a fan of ambroxan, but here it doesn’t bother me after the initial difficulty, even though a hint of syntheticity does come through every now and then. The oud is not particularly noticeable, but it certainly adds depth to the overall composition. The texture is almost sticky first like bold as well but it evolves into the silky smooth, soft and pampering. This is a fragrance for festive moments as well as occasions when you want to be noticed. It’s a confidence booster. It makes you feel like a queen. 👑 I don't have any idea how my thoughts can change this much during around 5-6 weeks.

This fragrance is awful. Saccharin and vulgar, it’s like being water boarded with custard.
Smells exactly like one of the oud moods of MFK. Talk about being late to the party, coming out with this type of scent when basically eveyone has had enough of this scent profile. It smells like an obnoxious rich person.
Sludgy, sickly, nauseating and generic, cheap smelling. Bleurgh.
It’s a perfect blend of sweet, woody and smoky nuances. From the start you can clearly smell saffron, passion fruit and oud, I really love that opening. That opening for me resembles San Ysidro Drive from VB. Later on, tuberose comes through along with a touch of patchouli. The base is vanilla / amber, balsamic and slightly musky. I also pick up incense and woody notes quite clearly. The smoky accents are beautifully balanced, so the fragrance feels silky smooth and never overwhelming. Longevity and projection are excellent, little goes a long way.
