Latest Reviews of Aoud Blossom

The drydown flicks a switch, and I am suddenly surrounded by a bed of flowers: a rose with a dry ylang-ylang and violet that has quite a bit of character. Somehow none of the individuals florals is exactly bowling me over, but the mix works surprisingly well on me. This is a case where the whole is more convincing and the sum of the individual components.
The base is a combination of sandalwood, but I wonder the Mysore was added in quite stingily. I get the oud throughout the longitudinal delvelopment if this olfactory composition, but it is fading gracefully towards the end.
I get moderate sillage, very good projection and eight hours of longevity on my skin.
The base of this scent for warmer autumn day is the weakest part; rather thin and pale, but the rest is fine and not without a touch of originality. The oud is not intrusive or particularly harsh; it is a good team player, which cannot be said of all ouds.
Overall 3.25/5

I don't get the negative reviews though. All things considered, this is a smooth unsweetened spicy floral suitable for either gender.
