This fragrance is superb, an oud out of the very top draw and surprising coming from Molton Brown a brand name with about as much appeal as a violent gastric complaint! Joking aside, I actually swear by the shower gels from MB and at the moment they have some really nice ones like Tobacco absolute. Oudh accord & Gold is brilliant, it starts out like a very luxurious and sweet, creamy oud very much in the tradition of middle eastern perfumery, with some nice spicing. The mid of this fragrance when settled is less sweet and much dryer and more tobacco dominated. The smokey touches remind me of Rasasi Tobacco Blaze, a fragrance I'm not too keen on. However, without the apricot yogurt and ashtray vibe of TB I can forgive it. Luckily Oudh accord & Gold has a third stage and oh what a wonderful drydown it is. I don't say this lightly but it might be one of the best. It's a subtle dreamy, woods which are heavenly and non of that dry tobacco smoke it's more like saffron, resins and oud. It's not cloying or overly sweet either very understated but performs extremely well, I've got to say this is a really incredible fragrance and I picked it up at a MB discount store for a reasonable price considering the quality. I'm happy to add this to my collection and coupled with the shower gel (which has Gold flakes in) I'm sure will combine to make an even more positive experience.
