OUD 24 HOURS BY ARD AL ZAAFARAN ORIENTAL AGARWOODY VANILLA EAU DE PARFUM 100ML

This stuff smells amazing! the opening notes are generic and floral. Nothing special or thrillng. However, after about one hour, the dark chocolate, berry, and vanilla notes start to diffuse, and they smell sublime! this is one of those fragrances that gets better over time; after about four hours, the chocolatey notes are even more pronounced and deliver a sexy tone. After about six hours, the amber, truffle, and sandalwood notes start to diffuse, and they are even richer and sexier still! definitely a dark, rich, indoor, and winter type of fragrance. Not necessarily a masculine fragrance, but a very rich one with pint of sexiness. $25 for 100 ml is an absolute steal! this is going to last me for a very long time! buy with confidence.By the way, it smells a lot better on skin than it does on a paper strip! on a piece of paper, the chocolatey notes smell dry like a chocolate powder cooking ingredient. It smells pleasant, but dry and flat. However, the way it reacts with my skin oils makes the fragrance smell a lot richer, creamier, and buttery.

Very nice and lasting fragrance

Pros:- arrived a day early- unique scentCons:- polarizing (although not inherently a con)- difficult to describeI got this randomly and I go to check EVERY website and most people are saying it smells like black orchid. I read reviews of black orchid and no help either. The notes online don’t lend too much understanding either so there’s been really little help in understanding what this is without prior knowledge. I also believe when giving reviews it’s best to assume ignorance on the part of the reader; not everyone purchasing will know what something is a dupe of or comparison to and it’s best to be as descriptive as possible, which I why I write reviews like this in the first place. Because of this, for me and everyone else who’s never smelled black orchid, here is a solid and unbiased review of Oud 24 Hours:The very first spray straight off the truck smelled like an old lady imo lol. It was bright like citrus or floral (70) but not quite citrus with some spice? (20) and chocolate (10) just peeping in the background. Maybe I just don’t like floral actually. Pure sweet with a weird spice type of note with none of the prominent chocolate or woodiness that some have described. I was so sad but whenever I’m sad about a fragrance I know it might get better when I let it sit so thats what I did lol. The next day I sprayed again and its FAR less sweet/floral and more of the chocolate notes are coming in (yay!), now its about 50 boozy chocolate, 15 floral, and the rest is possibly woody, although at that time I wasn’t quite sure. After 1 week it is still the same opening but upon dry down is a very dark chocolate (70) with floral (20) and a bit of earthiness (10). A week and a half in and it developed into a WONDERFUL dark chocolate (85) earthy (7.5) SLIGHTLY floral scent (7.5) that I ADORE. It’s been about 2 months and I like this but it’s not a love for me. It’s something that would suit my mother more although it is NOT a mature/old lady scent (her faves are mugler angel and Tom ford tobacco vanille). It’s not bad but not quite for me, I’m more of a noir de noir girly lol. If you want a boozy, slightly sour, dark chocolate floral this is it!

I bought this as a blind buy. It is definitely a clone of TF Black Orchid. It tends to be masculine and last longer. I definitely smell patchouli on this fragrance. In the dry down, you will smell the chocolate. This is a 90 percent duplicate of TF Black Orchid. It is a fall/ winter cologne. I would recommend this for special occasions. It is also a strong fragrance. So a little goes a long way. It lasts 8 hours.

Buen perfume

Pretty much smells like Tom Ford a bit suttle but lasts a long time

Very lovely smell and the scent is strong just the way I like it.

It is spicy but spray light as it will give a headache to you or anyone who smells it. The bottle is very heavy and decent looking ,the cap is very loose. Smell last around 6 hours and a bit longer on clothes. For me I couldn't stand it its like anything else what may be for you may not be for me. Just dont do a lot of sprays! it will gag you!
