Review of agar royal by aad de gids

what immediately struck me with level 14 was the scent of OUD. it is specified in an accompanying leaflet. Oud Assafi Oil releases its fine nanoparticles into the air and nose. this is an oud centered perfume, no matter if thousand so called experts declare there is Oud in None of the Gardens of the Kings Collection. specified is the following: 'This Collection contains a unique variety of pure oud: Oud Assafi, sourced from the Sylhet-region in Bangla Desh. the fragrant resin of the Aquillaria Malaccensis. this Oud Oil takes 40 to 50 years to ripen to perfection. the Sylheti people distill the black parts of the sacred trees.' No One can ever convince me from the Counterpart in this tractate. I smell Oud, as in Dusita's Oudh Infini, as in Terryfic Oud and -Oud Extreme by Terry de Gunzberg, as in Al Oudh from L'Artisan Parfumeur, as in Thirty Three (yrs old Chinese Oud Oil) from Ex Idolo, as in Attar Douce Amère (Bittersweet) from Sultan Pasha Attars, as in Midnight Oudh from Juliette has a Gun and finally as in Agar Royale from Chopard. in all fabulosity I don't fall in the 'there is no oud anywhere near this perfume' like how they hammered down Montale which I neither never believed. He has worked for Quatari Royals and I always knew he used real Oud. (not kilogrammes of course.) now I have to say that only after one hour one can smell sweeter things. I (imagine) smelling Jasmine, (I never smell citruses in perfume except in Vesace's Eros Pour Femme' the Lemon and Lemon Blossom) yet I suspect smelling the citruses making everything smelling somewhat softer, and I guess the Tuberose is all wrapped in in the other machinistics of Notes. my experience with the perfume in so far is that actually in the beginning you get these notes in Superlative Expanses in your nostrils and this with Unimaginable Force, Perpetuous. the two Ouds (Oud Laos and the Oud Assafi Oil) of which it is then stated that it is absent, and this statement on its merites is absurd. then also the Black Pepper Enormously (which is my idea of a Fabulous Perfume) with the other woody notes Vetiver, Patchouli, Cypriol Oil & the 2 Ouds. these all unite into One Hell of a Wall of Scent (primarily the ouds plus pepper) and they thrive throughout the entire perfume. in such a way that even Tuberose but also Jasmine (and the fruits which I don't smell anyway) seem muffled away, at least they have become occult in their presence. with their background buzz however they 'soften', 'sweeten' and refine this perfume further. it is my experience that only the rose (in other perfumes) is capable to keep its stand, stance, against and with oud. yet Oud Maracuja and another Ouds Tubereuse plus Monia di Orio's Oudh Osmanthus also put the respectable flowers and fruits forward. nevertheless I find this a brilliant, perhaps not the right word, acute and aplomb perfume with 'woodiness' as primary feature. the Packaging is nothing short of Undeniably Chic and Fabulous. I leave the enormous 'Bijou Cap' loose while I am afraid I may bust the entire cap, which seems impossible, bc I think the whole flacon weighs 8 kg.
