Purple Oud

“The dry down on my skin is what makes me prefer this over Oud Ispahan. It's more gentle & feminine during the dry down (I'd like to emphasise again, on my skin). A sheer balance between peppery & floral notes- complimenting the oud. As it dries down the oud is there but really tame, but still there. Love it! It's still an oud-prominent fragrance and maybe not a safe blind buy for those who are not used to oud (but really worth the try!) Longevity & silage is slightly weaker than Oud Ispahan though. But it still lasts all day without re-applying!”

“This is a the freshest most moreish oud I've ever smelled. The citrus and pepper brightens the opening, the oud is not heavy, this is a perfectly blended fragrance. Fragrance has great sillage, I've tried many great fragrances and this one, as someone else put it, 'makes me sad to be poor' - run don't walk - to a higher paying job.I would say this definetly leans more to male side of unisex. Worth adding to any oud lovers collection.This ones price point is justified!!”

“It does in fact smell like the colour purple. This is really nice it is very earthy which is why it reminds others of Encre Noir but it isn't as dry, it has some fruity floral aspect and it lacks the smoke. I like this but it is far from mass appealing. It smells very mysterious in a kind of alluring way but again, very earthy so I would avoid wearing this in the high heat. Also, the Christian Dior private line prices are insane so maybe smelling like the colour purple isn't worth it to you. Definitely worth a sniff in my opinion though!”
