A sophisticated and Western appealing Floriental chypre, this is somewhat inappropriately named because there is a just little Oud in the heart of this perfume. The perfume opens with notes of grapefruit, cardamom, pepper and almond. It moves to a heart comprised of jasmine, rose (very pronounced), geranium, Oud and slight leather. It finally settles into a powdery base of amber, labdanum, oakmoss, sandalwood, incense, musk and patchouli. Unfortunately not particularly original or really distinguishable from most Rose Ouds in the market to justify the huge price tag it comes associated with. The blending is good, and the perfume has moderate sillage and projection and only moderate longevity. Recommended only if you are an FDB completist or have $720 to spend on a whim. Enjoy!

Heard this perfume is almost a king of oud scents, and so parisian, and best in line, and so on and so forth. checked price, and i was rather scared to try it, as if i liked as much as others do – it would be a torture. dont think that anyone should spend more than 300 euro on a scent. when i got to the store – was my very first thing to try on, making sure i can detect all notes. And……its was sooo plain. i was and happy and disappointed at the same time. maybe it was old bottle and all its magnificence disappeared, i dont know. Basic breakdown is this: starts with faint citrus almond. not sharp. quickly morphs into lesser rose/stronger oud. but not intense oud, rather sheer one, slightly, tinniest bit sour. No cardamom, no smoke, no oak moss. silage – 10 cm. Longevity, 4 hrs maybe. thats about it. Dont know what makes it so expensive, what sort of ingredients they use, but definitely no WOW EFFECT. most basic perfume that i for myself place in category “why even bother to create?”

I am glad to have had the opportunity to test this Parisian Oud.
As the reviewer hereunder said, this rose oud combo leans heavily on the Arabian combo style as both rose and oud play dominantly, taking the scene with power and natural beauty without putting you off and without the “I have already smelled this before” thought.
It might also be relevant to the other ingredients that hardly do take the scene or let you feel their presence somehow (at leas according to my nose).
It is opulent, but it’s not screaming “smell me” as major perfumes containing this combo do.
Longevity is more than good, but it stays close to your skin and reveals its presence in an elegant way.
Price is really a problem, considering this comes in 100 ml only- 695€ in Europe.. too bad, as all the other fragrances from this house are available also in 15 and 50 ml, making it more affordable for most of the people

Roses, grapefruit, cardamom, oakmoss, patchouli, amber, and oud.
The dominant is the red roses definitely with doses of cardamom, and and citrus. The amber and the patchouli are there but quite on the background.
It’s kind of more oriental, and Arabian than an European or Parisian oud type because of the spices and the type of oud used! If they added vanilla, and some other sweet notes it would have gone European.
Quite impressive.
Edit (1 hour in) It goes quite velvety with citrus and woods when it settles.
Edit (16th Dec 2017) This fragrance only comes in 100ml and it’s in a limited patch because of the rarity of their ingredients.
