Elegance in fragrance form: oud in royal splendor
The trend is now clear: most oud fragrances are taking a sweet path by adding fragrance notes such as rose or raspberry alongside the oud. A great combination, but nothing really exciting anymore due to the abundance of these fragrances. That's why I set out to find an oud fragrance without excessive sweetness that would also appeal to people who don't usually like oud. A quick search led me to a hot candidate: Royal Oud from the niche label par excellence - Creed. The fragrance pyramid corresponded to what I had in mind, so I went to my trusted perfumery.
Once there, I immediately saw the Royal Oud, took a test strip and sprayed it on. My first reaction: pure disappointment. The opening was exactly like the typical "designer opening" - alcoholic and hardly anything else to smell. Nevertheless, I sprayed the Royal Oud on my wrist and left the store.
About half an hour later, I noticed a wonderful scent. At first I thought it was coming from the friendly older gentleman next to me on the train, who often wears an inexplicably good men's fragrance. However, it took me a while to realize that the scent was coming from my wrist. It was the Royal Oud!!!
After the weak start, the fragrance now fulfilled my expectations: The spiciness, clearly attributable to clove and cardamom, blends in an ombré gradient with the main actor, oud. A subtle incense note is also noticeable and lends the fragrance even more noblesse. Amber and musk provide a pleasant finish that my nose can happily be exposed to non-stop.
In keeping with the epithet "Royal", I only use this fragrance on special occasions and you can't imagine how often I've been asked about it. Even outsiders recognize the uniqueness of this royal fragrance.
H/S have so far been completely sufficient for my purposes. I cannot understand the negative comments. In my opinion, this fragrance is a true work of art. If you have the necessary change, you should definitely buy it and enjoy this noble companion.

A tribute to human progress and nature
Perfume lovers can basically be divided into two groups: Some prefer fresh fragrances, while others appreciate more dark or gourmand scents. The dividing line is not always clear, but for most people a certain tendency can be identified....

Hugo Boss' wolf in sheep's clothing
I was at the airport and still had a little time to kill, so I went straight to the duty free area to the perfumes. Once there, a red/translucent bottle caught my eye. The Hugo Boss Oud Saffron. Arrogantly I thought to myself,...
