Beauty and the Beast

Areej Le Doré

One for the oud lovers

A deceptively simple fragrance of only 3 main notes. However, the ingredients are of incredible quality, one being a big 30% shot of fermented Indian oud. That’s a massive amount, if you didn’t already know. The oud starts off with petrol...

Octavian

Electimuss

Lackluster run-of-the-mill synthetic rose oud

Another “luxury” house putting out overpriced mostly crap perfumes. I’d even take Xerjoff and Boadicea the Overpriced over this because even they have a few decent perfumes worthy of a FB, if not overly priced...

BIG shot of fermented Indian oud—cheesy, fuel-like—with a luscious, wet, red rose and hint of cocoa. A collector’s fragrance.

Maybe the best from the cheapest line. Nice! Very synthetic, but at least complex and well blended. Pass for me.

Owned and sold. I used to think this was natural smelling. Wow, not anymore. Xerjoff sucks, sorry, not sorry.

Sweet, synthetic, people-pleasing, super boring after 1 hour. Very much a Carlisle-like inspiration. Perfect hype beast for YT marketers.

Classic early 2010’s westernized (fake) oud & rose with a truffle twist. Smells dated. Fake oud is passé. We’re better than this now.

Probably Nishane’s best. It’s very good. Not mind-blowing for the price. FB worthy at a steep discount. I like most Amouages better, fwiw.

A nice balsamic amber, but nothing to set it apart. You’ve probably smelled it before. Not a standout. Pass.

Basically, a denser, dirtier, more complex LV Ombre Nomade. Strong like! Price is off-putting and feels somewhat redundant to have both.

Even with over 200 bottles in my collection, this has become my most used for going out. Makes me feel like a sexy mf. :P In love with PoaL!

Most interesting from this lackluster house. Apparently realistic caviar note. Never had it. Otherwise synthetic. Pass.
