Frankly, I do not like this blend one bit. It comes across as an ambient aroma, not something that someone would apply to their skin to adorn for an entire day… and I am seriously stressing that ‘whole day’ because Oud Classic is a tattoo. Once applied, this stuff is a commitment so you better be privy to this smell or else you’re going to hate it, fast. Personally, I find this odor as wholly nauseating. It’s not necessarily an air freshener odor per say, just more along the lines of what the shopping malls smell of, or more specifically, what a high end department store would continually scent their ambient surroundings with via automated spray air freshener devices that are set to ‘spritz’ every half hour. And the blend is overtly feminine/mature in nature with white flowers, roses and a penetrating white musk absolutely dominating the entire scent pyramid. There’s not nearly enough Cambodian agarwood to set this blend anywhere near masculine territory, only a minuscule bit that doesn’t surface until many hours in. The whole affair becomes quite taxing and annoying to the nose rather quickly. The overall feel is a powdery/dusty and thick/heavy suffocating concoction that really is just obnoxious to be around because the sillage, potency and projection is utterly relentless. At a strength of a somewhat diluted concentrated perfume oil in spray form, the stout 44% denatured alcohol content provides more than ample lasting power well into the following day that I’m certain will achieve weeks on cloth. I can see this perfume causing instant olfactory fatigue to the wearer only further lending to the notion that the perfume is weak, however, Oud Classic will certainly be blowing doors clean off of their hinges while causing any humans in the general vicinity to scurry away rapidly, stink face and all.

Excellent fragrance with a sweet smell.
