Warm and smooth and a little citrusy, but not heavy. I think I really like patchouli? This is my first time smelling oud, I’m not actually sure which part of the smell it is. Has some of the same qualities I like from Monsieur, but not whisky-y; lighter and friendlier. When it settles it’s still sweet (musky), with a very dry smokeyness that hits the back of my throat (is this the oud?). Considering buying this, but there’re only 10ml and 100ml bottles…

Ew yuck. Definitely fresh smelling, but mostly it just smells like a fancy version of teenage boy shower gel. Is that what they mean by ‘marine’ smell? I hope not! Having to smell this on my clothes made me feel almost sick.

Really beautiful lemon (citron, I guess—) smell when you first spray, but I think the lingering smell is a bit too perfumey for me. It does calm down and sweeten a little.

I put this on just because it was about and I wanted to wear something when I went for a walk after a noisy day. The initial smell is a bit artificial, but once it settles it has a nice sweetness that I enjoyed smelling on my shirt even the day after.
