I’m pretty good at blind testing perfumed oils and I’m not often wrong. On first application, a big smack of wood and earthy pepper hits you. My personal opinion is this falls more into a male category. However, it does dry out to be a much more subtle version. I’m wearing it now and it’s definitely a classy oud (which will turn heads) but as a regular customer of Forest Oud, I might experiment in combining a little sweetness from another of their gorgeous oils, to make it slightly more feminine.
I still love it though, which is why I still gave it five stars.
