Oud Couture

“It's nice, but the oud lasts nothing and the dry down is almost only rose and spices.It's not worth the price at all. Incredibly expensive for what you get. You can buy a better perfomer with better ingredients from many middle eastern houses at half of the price.”

“A tip. If around 2018 you were smart and purchased CH Men Insignia, do not buy Carolina Herrera Oud Couture. They will be, let's say, 95% similar. Same perfumer (Pierre Constantin Gueros) involved, practically a reinterpretation of the 2018 fragrance that cost me 1/3 of the price charged for Oud Couture. Classic combination of soft western Oud and roses. Both are wonderful.”

“A nice, simple everyday oud. Nothing complex. Not too fecal and not sweet. Good balance between Rose and oud. Oud here is medicinal and there's a powdery facet. Wish sillage and longevity were better.”
