I tend to approach oud perfumes with some trepidation as am never quite sure if I'm a fan of oud or not.
First impressions are of violet and rose, but not garden fresh rose, this has been pulled right down by the oud into something deeper, It has a floral-powdery aroma that reminds us of a vintage make up bag containing much loved crumbling powder compacts, lipstick-blotted tissues and that emergency elastoplast everyone has, curled up in the corner and no longer any use.
This perfume has quite an impact - a little is all that is needed, over do this one at your peril! It lingers, absolutely no questioning its staying power and as it is more in the 'considered purchase' price bracket that is good thing, I feel. As time goes by the sweetness of vanilla peeks through the oud now and again, having a softening effect which is exactly what the name suggests.
If you are a fan of rose and are not frightened of oud this could very well be the perfect perfume for you. I have grown to like this more, but that little bit of trepidation is still holding me back.
