Putting on one of the best designer interpretations of a classy, approachable Oud DNA today! Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir is seriously underrated. It delivers that sophisticated, spicy, woody profile—all that gorgeous Cardamom, Saffron, and smooth Oud Wood—at a fraction of the price of the heavy hitters (like Tom Ford Oud Wood). It’s the ultimate statement piece for a colder day or a nice evening out. If you own this, are you finding the performance to be solid, or do you wish it pushed harder?

The first pic I posted back in May, the second one is today (and there are 2 bottles on the way for Christmas - I hope). I think I have to slow down - I need a third shelf already. My wallet partially blames all of you for enabling me. 😁 At least I'm pretty sure that I have a varied and eclectic collection so far.

I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore frags for myself this holiday season and what do I do? Go to Burlington and grab this one. Hey, at least it's a cheapie. (Then again, all these cheapies could add up to a designer - lol) Really good clone of JPG Le Male Elixir which has a fabulous scent. I have a decant of the OG and the Hawas is very close. A little fresher in the opening and not as smooth or deep overall. The dry down is really where it's at. For projection and longevity, the Hawas has an edge over the JPG for sure. I'll save the OG for special occasions

It’s been a while since I got my hands on some samples in this form, especially since decants came into the picture. Nevertheless I’m excited about the spicebomb and replica particularly. Enjoy the night frag fam.

First full spin with this somewhat (24’) new release. I can definitely say this is a citrus scent done totally right. Non offensive and doesn't give off cleaning product vibes. Good projection and longevity as well. The dry down is when it really starts smelling good though. Mildly musky with a good amount of woodiness. I get aventus vibes slightly here just minus the smokiness. This addition definitely helped in filling out my Eros lineup sitting comfortably next to Flame and OG EDP. Najim is on the hit list next for sure. Have the best day brothers. Smell great out there.
