Thoughts on this bird's post?

And have u tried or own anything on the list?


I fukks with Oud Wood and Black Saffron
Haven't smelled the Diptyque or Mojave Ghost but saw it on Amazon and thought about it but the reviews on Fragrantica.com sounded mid.

Don't know what the pink bottle is.

Not big on Another 13.

I got 5 of these.
  1. Mojave - Aight, light fragrance. Office friendly.
  2. Jazz Club - decent. "Rum" the way it smells to perfumers.
  3. Oud Wood - OG Tom Ford fragrance. Good, but I don't reach for it. It's good though. If you want it for cheap, Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir. If you want more performance Thameen - Carved Oud
  4. Tobacco Vanille - My favorite. Started my journey.
  5. By the fireplace - Toasted Marshmallows - I can see folks rocking this. There's a clone of it that's 20 bucks and 20x stronger lol.
I'd say 4 out of 5 of these are "must SMELL", but none are must buy, or "blind buy" safe. Must smell, because people talk about other fragrances in terms of these fragrances.

I don't recognize the one in the top right at all.

Dark Rum - actually a plum fragrance
Black Saffron - prolly light, but I don't usually check for Saffron
Another 13 - Le Labo, prolly light. I like Noir 29 and Tabac 28. But the price point, whew boy
Diptyque - Not sure about this one at all.

That tweet is the ultimate "I'm a new fragrance snob so here's a bunch of shyt that's relatively mainstream but to people who only buy designers at the mall, I will look like I'm a niche fragrance connoisseur."

It's a nice list.
But she can fukk off.

In your opinion
how would you compare this to Gucci Intense Oud?

I see that for $109 for a 3oz

I've got a fair amount of designer oud

* spritzes *

How I'd rank them.
  1. Gucci Intense Oud - easiest to wear, for me. Dry perfume.
  2. Gucci Guilty Oud - a smidge barnyard, then fades
  3. Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir - a smidge barnyard, then fades
  4. Tom Ford Oud Wood - a smidge barnyard, fades, get a bit floral, a bit medicinal.
Any one of these is fine. I can't really tell the difference after 5 minutes. If I only had one, I'd get the cheapest one. I'd get clones/oils tbh.

Niche Oud

  1. Oud for Greatness - not a western oud, STRONG
  2. Oud for Glory - the clone of Oud for Greatness - strong and very cheap. I wish I could wear this more, but years into the game, I don't like "beast mode".
  3. Carved Oud - stronger than TF Oud Wood.

Gonna be a little cold in town and its a 4-way tie b/w Oajun, Herod, Tobacco Sapphire, and Tobacolor. Time is ticking.
