You probably won’t believe it, but I put this on thinking it was generice perfume one of many samples. Somehow didn’t have this house memorized I do now. After putting it on, BOOOOOOM this is real oud. And the wearing begins. Not just real oud, but darn good oud also. Addicting pulling me in for more sniffs. Dare I say it changing my mood. I am done sampling I am literally putting something on light. And here we go complete mind shift, my spirit is awake. Fragrance in my opinion compared to Perfumes Notes Davan is a super smart note with oud as it is a huge one playing into skin chemistry. One of the most debated notes on how it smells, same could be said of oud. Cypriol can be a friend or foe no inbetween, It is used here to enhance oud perfectly. It brings out the medicinal note even higher. Cedar is an aromatic only and I smell it on the top for quite some time. Gurjum balsam looks like it was chosen instead of patchouli. Very earthy no sweet at all on the top. Leaves a sweet golden musk to drydown about 6 hours on skin for me.
