Franck Olivier Oud Vanille Unisex Eau de Parfum

Product Information

During a week of tense waiting, I kept reading through the scents again and again, how would that smell? On my skin? Finally, the reference to the title of my comment remains. Elli Khan is a song by a well-known Lebanese singer, Nancy Ajram. My Arabic is rather basic, but Elli Khan is about a heartbreaking love filled with longings. One fragment of the lyrics is something like: 'How could I live before I met you and how could I ever go on living if you left me'. My girlfriend said, "This place smells like an Arab mall." It's hot outside, breaking hot, almost unbearable. The air's dry, it's standing, no draught, no refreshment. Then you enter the opulent, luxurious and modern mall and first you run into an icy wall. It gets cold and smells of spices, luxurious scents, rich sheikhs and their wives. It smells of tart, almost bitter Arabic coffee, which is enjoyed together with a Khalas date from Bateel. It smells of the opulent Arab sweets from one corner and of high-quality incense from the other. But one by one... Durability and Sillage: The best fragrance in my collection - and I have a few beasts among them. But this scent really breaks all records. And despite all that he has something romantic, something incredibly seductive and uninhibitedly breathtaking about him... the longing for golf begins.

But since I'm generally into things that you would rather call "insider tips" I let myself be tempted by Yt videos to buy this fragrance as a blind buy. First of all: I have lived and worked in the Gulf State of Qatar for years - passing Oud in a mall there is like going to the Oktoberfest and not seeing a beer. Accordingly, several years ago I fell in love with the wonderful world of the oud, with its mysterious and powerful nuances, with the beguiling and seductive! There was simply no way around it.My first compliment I got namely 12! Hours after I had applied it from my family as I came home from work again. The plot and characters are nuanced and complex, the film's attitude is rather pacifist - and the martial arts scenes are incredibly aesthetically choreographed. In that the main heroine Yang (embodied by the beautiful Hsu Feng, who was only 19 when filming began) is the much stronger character compared to the male protagonist, the goofy Ku (Shi Yu), the work also exhibits what I think was a considerable feminist tendency for the time. A film that in some ways echoes the now 50-year-old film is the 2000 modern classic "Tiger and Dragon" (starring Michelle Yeoh, then exactly twice as old but just as beautiful, in the female lead). Hours after I had applied the fragrance a work colleague could not stop sniffing around on the tape until he came to me and said: "Man, are you that smells so good? What is that for a fragrance? Initially, a woody-oudiger smell paired with a light orange-caramel mixture. The longer you wear the fragrance the weaker the scent and it comes out a very nice rose scent.

Still, for the price, this is easily the most niche-esque juice I've encountered to date - that is to say, thoroughly underappreciated by the less experienced if you know what I mean... Completely unisex and leaning formal/night out/evening wear, oudVanille could even be a daily staple for someone living in a cool or frosty climate. If the solid, compact, dry woodiness is loosened up by a hint of delicacy, softness, possibly earthy rootiness, that may be due to the violets, though, and if a hint of opulent richness and (albeit dark, almost bitter) sweetness does make itself felt, that may be a very atypical citation of rose. Over the next few hours I smell my arm again and again and imagine how well the scent would fit into a Shisha Bar. The oriental flair is clearly recognizable, I feel like at a communion in the desert of Qatar at the campfire and I would like to greet everyone only with salam aleikum. Kind of awesome, but it doesn't quite fit a 23-year-old I am. I rather see the scent on a man 35+ years old. The shelf life is 12 hours+ without any problems, the Sillage is bombastic, but one thing must be clear, (at least as a young guy) with men and women of the same age, the fragrance will definitely not go down well. I predict comments like "I don't like it", "what smells so funny?", "old man perfume"Despite the listed notes of "toffee" and "vanilla", I do not find OudTouch to be gourmand or sweet by any means, nor do I find it to be 'oriental' despite the incense, patchouli and jasmine. Raspberry is mentioned, but the thought of a banal Tuscan Leather imitation does not arise for a second. A moment later, the woods come in. I might think I can smell Oud very clearly: Oud in its cleanest and noblest form, not faecal or animalistic, but very, very present and clear. Only: There is no oud included. I dare with this perfume the first time to a strong Oud, well at least a perfume which pretends to be Oud, in the pyramid it is not listed finally. Before I bought OudTouch blind, I sniffed my way through some of my city's perfumeries to see how Oud smells at all. Armani Eau de Nuit Oud = has enough power, smells balanced and not animalistic. Good price-performance ratio.

For some years now I have been living in my homeland again, always looking for good, authentic oud scents. Per se I love of course a lot of scents - with Oud it is like with Spaghetti Bolognese: I love them, but not every day. It's the same with the scents: depending on the mood something else comes on. I sprayed it on my arm and thought to myself: "Uf he's a bit stinker. Does a combination of oud and rose really smell? It's already violent". In spring I fell in love with Oud Wood from Ford, who had to leave me again after a very short time, because he had disappointed me because of his poor durability and Sillage - it was probably batch dependent, because many others had confirmed an enormous durability to me and I had made in the form of a sample exactly the same experience, namely that the smell holds damn well. So the poor durability of the 100 ml bottle was the early outcome of our short, dramatic love.A smug smile, an arrogant look, unapproachable strength, endless power and merciless uncompromisingness radiate this fragrance. So far so good, Armani Eau de Nuit Oud is on my buy list, but I remember a fragrance which is presented by many on Youtube as a mega Oud at mini price... OudTouch. A few days later he walked by my work place about 2 meters away and shouted, "Frank Olivier nh, your perfume speaks of all"
