Oud Tuareg

Wow! A very powerful rose-oud fragrance, with rather animalic oud in the opening... once you have overcome this phase, it becomes a bit softer again and the rose more prominent, but remains strongly oud-y... very potent and long-lasting....

An immediately present, sparkling opening in which spicy and slightly resinous facets combine with a dry, noble oud structure. From the start, the composition feels warm and contoured without becoming overly heavy. As it develops, an elegant woody base emerges more strongly, lending the fragrance stability and depth, while the oud remains present but appears clean and well-integrated. The drydown develops a calm, slightly leathery warmth with an oriental feel and leaves a structured, dry-spicy overall impression with a clear signature.

I initially had concerns that the fragrance might smell 'old', but quite the opposite. Very high-quality Oud fragrance, very strong sillage and longevity. Rather masculine and reminiscent of Ombré Nomade by LV.
