I wanted a scent for fall/winter, and after reading lots of reviews, settled on Your Touch Oud. Being a fan of a couple versions from "Stronger With You", I bought this ode to the Oud version since I can't easily find the Stronger With You Oud.
Ever read: "This scent always gets me compliments” ? Your Touch Oud is a consistent compliment magnet. Truely, every single time I have worn it, from both gals and guys, strangers and people I already know. The second time I ever wore this, one of my co-workers came up, leaned in to sniff, and said "Mmm you're wearing it again. Smells good".
The opening Oud is a gorgeous general smokey scent, not as specific and bold like the Hickory smoke I get from Sauvage Elixir, but definitely masculine, warmth in winter, noticible, and lasting. Lavender is more in the background but balanced in a way that compliments the Oud. Vanilla and Powder notes come through more for me in the dry down and sitting closer to the skin.
Performance is beast mode: Projection 5-8 feet for up to 10 hours after appling to clothing. On moisturized skin (this layers great over Bath & Bodyworks Vanilla Noir body cream) projection is about 3 feet for 7 hours. Beast mode! I could barely smell this on myself after an hour, but it seemed everyone else could definitely catch whiffs. For the super afforable price, this is well worth it. It is an EDP and for a 100ml I got this on amazon for under $20. This is not a scent for an indoors office setting if there's someone there who's super sensitive to smells in a complaining way. They will definitely notice you wearing this!
I am going to be rocking this most of winter this year. If you like saving money and want an Oud, you'll probably like this!
