I have a The Collector discovery set with two extras (9 total) and confirm this is the most masculine and the only one that isn’t sweet, so it’s the one I like the least. Is it wearable for women? Yes, if you don’t mind the sweetness and don’t care about oud. Most are unisex, but to me they smell quite feminine (I’m a woman and I love them). Almost all have similar longevity and moderate sillage, making them very versatile; I really like them, but Golden Oud is the one I won’t restock.

It’s striking that this fragrance has not a single review… I tried it yesterday at the El Corte Inglés in my city and haven’t seen it anywhere else. It belongs to the The Collector line and is, for me, one of the best offerings. The opening is brutal and can be repelling; the reason is the oud, which smells like resinous wood and very bitter, bordering on unpleasant. Paired with woods, moss, and musk, that intense, slightly stale dry-down drives me crazy, but as the oud fades, it becomes a wearable woody scent. I imagine the solar notes give it a pleasant touch along with the violet. I wouldn’t call it unisex; it feels more masculine. It projects massively for the first 5 minutes, drops to moderate around 4 hours, and then stays close to the skin for another 10 hours. At 14 hours, it still smells of oud, woods, violet, and what I assume are the solar notes.
