Hmmmm...there should be a lot to like here but sadly this misses the mark for me. Firstly I'm glad just to find Monotheme in stores, as these scents have alluded me for years now and finally I get to try them. Starts out with a peppery spice in the opening which for me was hugely promising but sadly doesn't last long and the promise fades along with my hopes about this fragrance. There's a definite labdanum and Amber vibe with a powdered floral feel and underpinned with woods. I have to say this just feels a little tired and slightly dated, almost granny like. I found the performance to be reasonably good and this brand are obviously of some quality for the comparitably low asking price. My verdict is that Black our is a perfectly good fragrance just not my bag and if you are looking for oud although it's present I'd look elsewhere.
