Formal but can be dressed down in the right casual environment..

AdP Oud is a masterpiece - a very unique take on oud while being beginner friendly at the same time. Unlike most oud fragrances that give off a heavy, dark, funky vibe, the oud in here is complemented by just the right amount of citrusy, sweet and clean notes, with almost a little bit of aquatic feel, making it fresh, soft, airy and extremely smooth. It's still somewhat of an acquired taste but is very pleasant and light for an oud scent. Love this fragrance 👌🏻 the best part is the opening smells spicy and mineralic with the fresh undertones

Sample Testing - can't accurately comment on performance/longevity - opinion is strictly about smell.This is male-leaning, but unisex. Performance is impressive, but may be cloying in Summer months. More of a night-time scent, there is something dark and mysterious here. Definitely not for the "blue fragrance" crowd, but a great beginner oud for enthusiasts looking to get into oud fragrances. I was looking for an oud that I could pull off in warmer weather and this fits the bill somewhat, although I would not wear in extreme heat and go easy on the trigger. It's fresh yet has a dark, rich aspect from the base notes. Almost like an deep dark oud soap as someone mentioned. I believe this fragrance is perfect for almost any season / weather. (Unless it’s scorching hot outside 🥵) This is smooth, leathery, woody and classy, with a good dose of amyris and just a little bit of citrus on top. Originally created in 1916, Colonia is the very definition of a timeless classic, a fragrance that expresses sunny elegance on all occasions. As soon as Acqua di Parma's instantly recognisable golden fruits blend of radiant lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and orange start to spill their luminous notes into the air, the perfume's sparkling character comes alive. It is amplified even more in the aromatic heart of the fragrance where lavender and hints of rose harmoniously intertwine with aromatic rosemary. Warm and precious woody notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli round off the base of this iconic Eau de Cologne.

Produced by Acqua di Parma, Colonia Essenza Eau de Cologne is a niche composition made up of high quality ingredients and aimed at the customer who wants to wear something that stands out. It has been available in stores since 2010. It is labelled a cologne. Johann Maria Farina invented eau de cologne in 1709, though this is now used as a general term for any scented water with between 2-5% essences. It is generally based on citrus oils and some combination of lavender, thyme, rosemary and jasmine. A Symphony for the Nose Very sophisticated, elegant, powerful and deep. Has a vibe of a man or woman that has their life together. It also feels like this is what an Italian fashion mogul living in Milan would smell like. This is a modern/Western take on oud and to me doesn't really smell Oriental at all, until the full dry down where it becomes a bit exotic. Mass appealing yet artistic. Smells like two fragrances in the opening and the dry down. You gotta try this even if you're not a fan of oud normally. This will make you smell like a successful, sophisticated gentleman no doubt. Oud EDP is super smooth, addictive, and smells like pure luxury. This was my ideal "gateway oud" scent. Very dry yet refreshing and bright, uniquely clean in character. Has an unmistakable presence without coming on too heavy or loud. The citrus and leather add a brilliant touch of depth and masculinity to the otherwise androgynous star of the show. Performance is noticeably above average. After the initial couple hours, a pristine and tart oud is centerstage, flanked by notes of sandalwood and musk, all of which anchor a pleasantly woodsy dry down for several more hours. Not overly complex in development, but it exudes quality all around.

When i first tried this fragrance, i was hell no, not for me...but... the hate has become now a big love !

Whilst the previous Oud Cologne lasted all day and had great projection, this one is gone after barely an hour and always stays close to the skin. It's also a softer, dimmed down version of the previous cologne. In fact, this can now be applied liberally and worn at all times, that's how weak they made it. It doesn't even hold on to your clothing. The Acqua di Parma Oud Eau de Parfum has an oriental fragrance with a woody-spicy note. The top note is composed of bergamot and orange. A composition of Russian coriander, agarwood oil, and Haitian Amyris oil was chosen for the heart note. Finally, the base note consists of a leather accord, cedar wood, patchouli oil, sandalwood, and musk. Reviewers are very positive about the fragrance and particularly emphasize the elegant appearance of the creation and the long-lasting effect. A Fragrance For Autumn And WinterAlso, what other fresh, oud-based scents on the market should I look at next? I've singled out Stephane Humbert Lucas Generation 2022 and I already tried Chopard's Aigle Imperial (which I hated). Fast forward to 4 months later, not a week goes by without me wearing this Italian Stallion.. I love it! I f you are a guy and don't have this in your collection, do yourself a favour and get this NOW!

I'm not sure when I would wear this as I'm much more of a citrus freshie and barbershop fougere guy, but if I was ever gonna get an oud, this would be it. Jo Malone's Oud would be in the ballpark as well given it's also a smooth oud. Very nice and considering a bottle. AM-ish: I sprayed on my wrist, behind my ears and chest. I also sprayed on this sweater I am wearing. Around 5:45 PM I took a shower and it was still there.

It starts with the orange and bergamot right in the beginning, both of which stay through the mid on me. Then the Oud takes over with a bit of the sandalwood playing through it here and there. I have a decant of the leather, and I must say I don’t get much leather in this one. Usually i don't like the smell of the coriander's, but when they combined it with oud making it fantastic. The smell of the leather note it's not too strong or pungent, i think the cedar and sandalwood soothing it. Oud and citruses/bergamot is a common trope when it comes to brands wanting to put out an oud-scent that's fresh. So when you smell this, parts of it will be familiar to you - but it has an added layer of complexity that makes it slightly different - hard to describe or to pinpoint what note is causing this - but it's like they added a fuzzy, slightly soapy (like Dove soap, not a blue shower gel) aspect that makes this really addictive especially as it dries down. This blend combines the heady qualities of an aromatic with the freshness of citrus for a perfectly balanced result. Mandarin, grapefruit and petitgrain are amongst the head of this particular parfum. These make way for heart notes of rosemary, rose, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The experience ends with a base of white musk and patchouli. (Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin, is a flowering plant closely related to mint. However, its smell is very strong and earthy.)
