I blind bought Oud Wood and I only wore it twice. Maybe now that I let it macerate, I should give it another shot.

From what I hear, when it dropped (2007), it was ground breaking. (For Western Cologne, Oud has been the real deal in Middle Eastern/Indian cologne for centuries)

That's why so many designers jumped on the bandwagon.

16 years later? Ehh.

I spritzed all 4 on earlier today for that post, and I definitely like western oud, and TF Oud Wood in particular (but Gucci Intense is better, VPH Oud Noir is really damn good on the dry down) - but if cats are trying to wear this to attract broads - You're only getting demons or super low self esteem with this joint.

For my money, you gotta put it on, forget about it for an hour or 2, and then come back to it.

But if we're talking a collection that's all about notes - you need 1 western/designer oud and maybe 1 eastern oud. And that's it.

Oud Wood is definitely not a scent to pick up broads, but it's perfect for a business meeting (once it dries down).

I checked my email a while ago.
I got a message from FragranceNet that Stronger With You Absolutely was back in stock.

The email arrived 3 MINUTES before I clicked on it.
And by the time I clicked the link, it was already sold out.

Well, that's the last time I bother putting myself on their bullshyt waiting list.

The Clone is going for 3x now? It was 33-35 bucks.


100 bucks for a clone?

Save up and get the OG for 300.
I had some points from fragrancebuy.ca and grabbed two Paris Corner clones. It was only $35 in total and figured why not.
-Frenetic Delicieuse
-Charuto Tobacco Vanille

$100 seems high. But I'll think about it. Don't these people make a 5ml bottle?

I can get it and sell it to a friend if it's not for me. But I wanted a smaller bottle or a decant first.

You're a G tho for sharing the link.
Thanks man.

It'll resell at 100 or better




I almost copped a 2nd bottle, and haven't cracked open the first lol.
