Option Review:3ml This was my introduction to pure oud oil.
I thought I'd understood oud as I've smelt many luxury oud based fragrances, I was mistaken.
Previously I thought of oud as a note, but thanks to this (and others I've tried subsequently) I see that ouds can have drastically different and complete scent profiles.
This on my skin is fresh and invigorating (but not like a freshie perfume), like mint, fresh fruit and a light honey yet rich and substantial with very little of the barnyard smell I'd thought of as oud.
If you've smelt enough perfumes not to be scared by oud and like me wanted to try the real thing, I couldn't recommend this more highly.
I had planned to use it in another fragrance but that's no longer the case, I will now use it as an attar when I want to make an extra effort to create a statement scent profile.
I've purchased many oils from PP and enjoyed many of them, this is by far the most expensive item and yet the only one that has compelled me to share a review.
I guess my oud arc has now begun, thanks for that. :D
