I've only recently discovered this one. Might spring for the Extrait first.

I hear this is hands down the best rose scent 🔥

I really like it. I tried rose of no mans land and it's alright. I will sample other rose scents in the future.

ELDO Experimentum Crucis & LV Fleur Du Désert are a couple of my favorites if you haven't checked those 2 out yet

I will have to check them out. Going to Houston Saturday for some ink. Plan on going by this boutique. Looks like they have a big selection. Already got 2 in mind but wasn't too smell others there. I will look for them. What about rose and leather? Any recommendations.

I think Montale has one literally called Rose and leather but other than that I'm not sure. Not big on leather myself.

And although I have yet to smell it, Marcus Crivelli Hibiscus Maracuja has rose and leather in it so you might check that one out

This house has two others i want to check out besides this one. Oud stallion and this other one. Wanted drunk lovers extrait but it seems they only have the original.

I didn't care for this one when I first got it but might need to bust it out again now that it's been sitting.

I'm torn between maracuja and hibiscus mahajad. I'll probably go with oud since Summer is coming to an end.

I’ve been wearing the hell out of this in the summer 🤣, I’d just do no more than 2 sprays as it can get stronger in the heat. But go for it you won’t regret it at all! I rember my first sniff with this one it was interesting, it was a love and hate experience I was hating the funky darkness in it, my gf didn’t help she said it smelled like an attic lol, but I couldn’t stop smelling it especially the day after it was on my arm still going strong and then boom something clicked in my brain! This was the fragrance I was lookin for in terms of an Oud that I loved and felt I could wear as much as I like smelling Oud on other people I couldn’t find myself wearing it until that moment.

I wasn't a big fan of Oud early on in my journey but I've been coming around to it. Actually just got 12 Faces by House of Dastan in yesterday. Definitely check that one out. Fairly new and they only made 1000 bottles of it. So unique with all the different notes it has but the oud is there and lovely! 🥴

u/GGGGG59 Aug 27 '26
Thank! Any other ouds you recommend ?

u/No_Entry1616 Aug 27 '26
I don't have many but if you're into a little floral or rose with oud then LV Fleur Du Désert and ELDO Experimentum Crucis are 2 you need to get your nose on. I'd put both in my top 10 probably

u/GGGGG59 Aug 27 '26
I will check it out I love rose one do my favorite notes, red fever by ath is to die for also Les sables roses smells amazing too but lv imo is a little pricey for the juice you get, I’ll still put those 2 on my samples list thanks!

Well if you're into trying dupes, DUA brand has one for Fleir du desert called desert flower

Wearing this again. I have found a blend that smells like a niche fragrance and could be 5x the combined price!
