Review of Midnight Oud by aad de gids

now the whole initial blast of Midnight Oud is (also litterally) breathtaking. this is the gunshot in the face as like Montales' Louban, Black Aoud, Attar, Aoud Red Roses and like with the 80s powerperfumes Giorgio, Poison, Obsession, Knowing, Coco, Red, Gale Hayman Beverly Hills, Moschino parfum the toilette as you still had then, Opium and Youth Dew of 70s and 50s fame. "now this is perfume". with MO we immediately and totally smell nostril clearing Oud, Rose, Saffron, Patchouli and this blast lasts for an hour. I love it. the rose is as if it is deep drenched-in-wine the 1859 tzar Alexander Chateau d'Yquem stuff. this rose delivers. the Oud has all the nylony, vinyloid, medicinal qualities I adore. (Ever tried Dusitas "Oudh Infini" which I am bewitched by?) then, MO definitely has a chic demeanour, lasting for hours with grandiose sillage also due me thinks, to the castoreum. as someone remarked the rose is reinforced by the geranium while the saffron refines the rose and oud. its lasting base is given by the sandelwood, castoreum and amber. the packaguing is really chic where the velvet cocon is adorned with the ribbon but wears with deep brown chestnut colour as it then was said: it was dedicated to Dubai either or, the Dubai market. I bought three flacons in one gesture. a terrible, terrific, 80s reviving perfume. (this is good ... ) the papyrus goes lost on me and I belong to the half of the populace not able to detect synthetic muscs. the whole Narciso Rodriguez goes blown in the wind for me. STRONG, STRONG, STRONG: this is what I love. ["accords of Moroccan rose, oud, amber, several sorts of musk (castoreum), saffron, geranium, sandelwood, papyrus and patchouli oil."]
