I received Oud For Glory this week, and busy giving it a good test. The lavender is practically non-existent, mate, probably revealing itself only ever so slightly upon first spray. But you will get the rest of the notes listed above more prominently. I would say if you like spicy, woody scents then give this a shot, for the price of this you really can’t go wrong, I can see why so many people enjoy it. It’s well blended, smells expensive and definitely gives off a sexual aura but it’s not the sexy perfume for me. Again, I want to smell that rose!😩 TASTE: Vanilla French toast with pineapple fruit topping. Pineapple Julius. Pineapple upside down cake. At no point does any component become overbearing over the others or annoying, all of them enhance and empower each other to create something waaaay above this fragrance's price point.

Durability : 8 h Sillage : no monster but 6 hours wahnehmbar then rather momentary in the air perceptible. Edit: lord my colleagues/friends told me this was way too seductive to wear in the office so that should tell you something! But I'm wearing it anyway. It’s one of those colognes that women seem to love and compliment, likely because it steps away from male cologne stereotypes. Oud Satin Mood is the perfect long-lasting fragrance for sultry winter date nights. After like 3 hours it's more quite/calm, not so heavy, oudy with less smoke on a vanilla base with musky hints. A prominently sweet, youthful rose. Unisex leaning masculine. I don't get any metallic facets on my skin, a bit of fruity tartness instead.It is not a dupe of Atomic rose, I have sampled Atomic Rose before and it is not close to it. Not even a cousin. I would rather say a very distant relative. It starts to soften and you’re left with Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition ! To my nose. I have been wearing SAS for many years, so I’m well aware of the scent. However, where SAS Is more vanilla, this is more saffron and patchouli.

Projection Time: 10 (10+ hours), 9 (8-10 hours), 8 (6-8 hours), 7 (5-6 hours), 6 (4-5 hours), 5 (2-4 hours) But that doesn't matter, for me, at least, the smell is very similar, but, versus Asad, it's a bit more modest, although it has somewhere around half or two thirds of Asad's "body", being, at least from my point of view, the source of inspiration for Asad, it's a slightly more elegant smell, as if more passion was put into the composition, Oud for Glory is a bit more mature. This is quite dry and not as sweet as other oud colognes I've tested or used. Oud is a very polarizing aroma. I can see why people describe it as "old tire" smell. This proudly wears its oud patch on its sleeve and doesn't soften the blow at all with any added sweetness. Bear this in mind when using, as oud is still a very polarizing aroma. The opening has a strong hit of alcohol and takes a couple of minutes to settle down. This can be misleading, so let it settle first.However, it does have a similar soft airy/mossy texture like Bond No.9 Tribeca (without the chocolate) in the opening. A number of ppl are calling this a 90% dupe for AR. Listen, hear me good….No. Amethyst and Initio Atomic Rose have some clear similarities but some big differences. There is no hedione in the opening, so it is much less green on the initial blast and throughout. It does not give that freshly cut freshness that AR does. It also has smooth and rich oud added, taking a note from Delina Exclusif, the oud is done similarly and, though there is more, it is very approachable while also giving this fragrance an addictive interesting personality. It is certainly very rich, dense and fashioned in the Arabian style and not for the faint of heart. The drydown is pretty sweet, spicy and smoky on my skin- I detect lots of patch, but also amber and smoke( maybe the oud?) . The end result strongly reminds of Instant Crush by mancera, however IC is prettier, sweeter and devoid of smoke. Oud for Glory is sweet musky/smoky bomb ion the other hand. I have never smelled Oud for Greatness, so I can'т compare the two. I see this frag suitable for only cold weather- late fall and winter only! This would be unbearable and cloying in temps above 10 degrees Celsius, so spring and summer is a no-no for me. Occasions- casuals, dates( it has a playful side). I don't realy think that Oud for Glory is appropriate for office settings at all. I can detect it on skin for about 7 hours but it becomes a skin scent closer to the 4 hour mark. I've received a few compliments here and there but this is one I honestly wear just for me.
