When I first smelled it, I was honestly upset. I thought it had that malty after-smell, so I put it away for about two months. One day I picked it back up and decided to spray it on my linens instead — figured, it’s not that bad, why not use it for that? When I came home, the scent was still lingering in the room. A little really does go a long way, but the smell was beautiful. It had this soft, vanilla, cashmere-like, fresh sandalwood vibe that was very nice. The next day, I tried it on my skin and decided to layer it with Maison Asrar Vanilla Voyage — OMG, what a stunning combination. It lasted all day, and I actually received compliments. Now I get what everyone has been talking about. I truly believe this fragrance needs time to mature, oxidize, and fully blend. I am so glad I didn’t declutter this one because I am now in love with it. You definitely have to like oud, but this isn’t an overpowering agarwood (oud) at all. It’s soft, smooth, and not harsh or medicinal. Overall, this is just a really lovely fragrance.
