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.
