  I’m using analogies because it’s a very peculiar scent. The opening is a punch of prominent oud, something fecal but bearable and even addictive, in the style of Xerjoff’s Al Khatt. Ten minutes in, the party begins: rough, smoking, incandescent leather. It’s a leather style like Falcon Leather with smoky notes and a sweet background, probably praline, but nothing gourmand, just a light touch. It’s been a great discovery; I already bought the bottle. Lasting power is very good. One of the best from Guerlain, perhaps my favorite from the entire line. Try it before buying, it’s complex. 9.5/10.

  Total disappointment. I expected something more niche and potent, but that’s on me for being a Guerlain. It doesn’t smell like natural oud, but rather a synthetic blend of leather and oud that reminds me terribly of Dior’s Leather Oud (which I hate for being artificial and indistinct). Add to that rose aldehydes, making it more feminine than I thought. Imagine a Leather Oud with aldehydes; that’s roughly how it smells. Nothing like the original.

  Reminds me of the smell of a McDonald’s hamburger.

  Controversial: you either hate it or love it, no middle ground. Starts animal and smoky, between leather and an oud I highly doubt is actually there, until it lightens and turns soapy like old chypres. It mixes dirty animal scents with clean soap and works great. It’s like washing your pet, a Vietnamese pig with expensive, refined French soap. The trail is noticeable from several meters away but doesn’t weigh it down; the farther you get, the more soapy-floral it becomes, while up close it smells of smoky leather and animal. It’s as if distance blurs and “cleans” it, a beautiful and curious effect that anyone who smells it will notice. Some say it smells like a hamburger with pickles, and I get it, it did seem like that to me at times. Works well in summer, not a beast but it holds up, light in the Guerlain style. Elegant and refined, but not for everyone. Even though it’s called oud, don’t expect miracles.
