Haven’t tried Oud Ispahan. I get the “toned down” Ombré Nomade comment. Less of the gasoline thing here. Something else in there I can’t put a finger on. I love it. I’ve got the oil.
Got the oil. Never sampled the original but reading comments on Fragrantica and elsewhere lead me to believe this is pretty close. I have many oud fragrances (The Night, Russian Oud, etc.) and this really isn’t like any of them. I now understand what people described as animalic and barnyard but that doesn’t quite describe it. It’s very unique and possibly alienating but I do like it. Just sampling it now so can’t speak for dry down or longevity.
Over the years I’ve purchased plenty of P.P scents, they do great Tom Ford’ & darker scents. Some of the early Aventus’ were still good but had a strange note mixed in. This however is beautiful, the tangerine adds a sweet lift to a light Aventus base. 1-2ft projection & 5-7 on my skin. I brought another 100ml bottle straight away. Highly recommend giving the 13ml a go.
This perfume has a beautiful smell this is a second favourite of mine my first favourite is noble lady, but this one perfume eternal I really love the strong beautiful smell, this perfume hits all the right notes, I am definitely buying it again
