I really like this but it’s not at all what I expected.
Very licorice, anise and almost celery on the open.
Settles like fresh cigar tobacco.
A bit spicy and not very rich pungent “oud” at all.. but a very nice scent.
Try before you buy on this one for sure.. especially at the price point.

Are you sure the notes are not….starchy potato, potato peel essence, salt and pepper, creamy butter, chives and sour cream?

The House of Oud? I’m not too sure about that tag. The House of cool looking bottles? I’ll co-sign that name! If prominent oud is what you’re looking for, this isn’t the house to explore. Crap 2017, I mean Crop 2017 is another quasi oud release that got me scratching my head. Although I acknowledge this to be decent in smell, the deceit can’t be ignored. Crop 2017 smells like Cicatrices 2014. This opens with a roasted licorice note that manages to out perform the meager oud ingredient. The tones here are autumnal and one would think this was blended with fresh hazelnut. The balsams work side by side with the tobacco but everything is tempered by the powdery accords. This all sounds very delightful but this composition is just too simple and it doesn’t last!! Where’s the enigma? Where’s the charm? This is more FTC(For the Check) than it is harvested glory. Calling this a failure is in the nose of the beholder.

The oud used in crop 2016 was so exceptional [it was real kalimantan, I own real raw oud myself] that I decided to try 2017 though I don’t like tobacco notes. Sadly, crop 2017 is very disappointing, the oud smell is generic though the composition is okay. Interestingly, when crop 2017 was launched, there was still quite a few bottles of 2016, but then after a few weeks, all 2016 are gone. Price tag are the same for both edition and I do not think crop 2017 lives up to its expense this time.

Licorice, anise oud.
I loved the licorice anise BLAST at the entrance with hints of medicinal oud like note. As it calms a bit the medicinal oud conquers abit leaving the licorice and anise behind.
It’s more spicy than oud, and it has hints of sweetness. It’s nice since i love anise & licorice.

Fragrantica’s notes are wrong. Per Luckyscent, (the exclusive retailer) this is the note breakdown:
Crop 2017 Notes
Oud, licorice, sandalwood, tobacco, absinthe
Now for my review. This is a very, very dry oud. No barnyard; no cheese, nothing medicinal or artificial. To me this is an oud/sandalwood combo… I don’t get licorice or tobacco at all. There is a slightly vegetal bitterness that reminds me a bit of wormwood.
Really high quality no doubt. I find Memo’s Shams Oud to be very similar (2011 release) and also slightly superior to Crop 2017.
This is a very limited edition release (540 bottles I think?), so if you’re into ultra exclusivity, this could be a fit. I’ll stick with Memo’s Shams Oud, but this is a very worthy entry into the more authentic smelling oud genre.
