About this deal

A moment later, the woods come in. I might think I can smell Oud very clearly: Oud in its cleanest and noblest form, not faecal or animalistic, but very, very present and clear. Only: There is no oud included. My girlfriend said, "This place smells like an Arab mall." It's hot outside, breaking hot, almost unbearable. The air's dry, it's standing, no draught, no refreshment. Then you enter the opulent, luxurious and modern mall and first you run into an icy wall. It gets cold and smells of spices, luxurious scents, rich sheikhs and their wives. It smells of tart, almost bitter Arabic coffee, which is enjoyed together with a Khalas date from Bateel. It smells of the opulent Arab sweets from one corner and of high-quality incense from the other. But one by one... First of all: I have lived and worked in the Gulf State of Qatar for years - passing Oud in a mall there is like going to the Oktoberfest and not seeing a beer. Accordingly, several years ago I fell in love with the wonderful world of the oud, with its mysterious and powerful nuances, with the beguiling and seductive! There was simply no way around it. So, is there already a synthetic oud fragrance? Yes, and not exactly. "Synthetic oud doesn't really exist per se," Voelkl explains. "But what we do to replicate the smell of natural oud in our fragrances, is create substitutes that are compositions using a combination of other natural [ingredients] and some [synthetic] molecules. I like to use some of these alternatives in my formulas as they are generally 'softer' and less animalic-smelling compared to that of natural oud extract." So far so good, Armani Eau de Nuit Oud is on my buy list, but I remember a fragrance which is presented by many on Youtube as a mega Oud at mini price... OudTouch.

Hours after I had applied the fragrance a work colleague could not stop sniffing around on the tape until he came to me and said: "Man, are you that smells so good? What is that for a fragrance? We don’t want you to make this mistake, so we want to help you out by showing you how to apply perfumes. Dry your skin before spraying perfume Armani Eau de Nuit Oud = has enough power, smells balanced and not animalistic. Good price-performance ratio.A smug smile, an arrogant look, unapproachable strength, endless power and merciless uncompromisingness radiate this fragrance. When you smell really nice your ego and confidence level will be boosted. Spray this pleasant Oud Touch scent on your clothes, you will be able to raise yourself above everyone in the meeting room, get noticed whenever you walk by people in the walkway. The mixture of woody, amber and musk are mixed together which ensure the intensity and longevity of the fragrance and are subsequently denoted as Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or body mist also known as a body spray. But since I'm generally into things that you would rather call "insider tips" I let myself be tempted by Yt videos to buy this fragrance as a blind buy.

I dare with this perfume the first time to a strong Oud, well at least a perfume which pretends to be Oud, in the pyramid it is not listed finally. Before I bought OudTouch blind, I sniffed my way through some of my city's perfumeries to see how Oud smells at all. And despite all that he has something romantic, something incredibly seductive and uninhibitedly breathtaking about him... the longing for golf begins. My first compliment I got namely 12! Hours after I had applied it from my family as I came home from work again.Basically, this means spraying your perfume on parts of your body that are more prone to heat. Why should you do this? Because your body heat helps you to push out the scent of the perfume all day long. This creates a nice trail of fragrance wherever you go. Oud sourcing has become fraught to keep up with demand. "Due to the very low yield of oud through the traditional extraction process, some have begun to provoke infection on the trees to then cut and extract, and this has all led to these trees becoming scarce," Voelkl explains. He also mentions that it takes at least 25 years for an aquilaria tree to produce harvestable oud. Firmenich works with a family business that manages over 600,000 Aquilaria trees to extract Aquilaria malaccensis using age-old traditional methods. Hundreds of these trees are over 80 years old, while others range from 5 to 50 years old. What about synthetic oud? Many people like to spray their perfume in the air before walking into it. The notion is that it drops all over their body and keeps them smelling nice. Here’s the truth. Most of the perfume drops to the floor when you do this. If you don’t spray the heat areas, soon, you wouldn’t be smelling nice. Conclusion The shelf life is 12 hours+ without any problems, the Sillage is bombastic, but one thing must be clear, (at least as a young guy) with men and women of the same age, the fragrance will definitely not go down well. I predict comments like "I don't like it", "what smells so funny?", "old man perfume" If the solid, compact, dry woodiness is loosened up by a hint of delicacy, softness, possibly earthy rootiness, that may be due to the violets, though, and if a hint of opulent richness and (albeit dark, almost bitter) sweetness does make itself felt, that may be a very atypical citation of rose.

Despite the listed notes of "toffee" and "vanilla", I do not find OudTouch to be gourmand or sweet by any means, nor do I find it to be 'oriental' despite the incense, patchouli and jasmine. Raspberry is mentioned, but the thought of a banal Tuscan Leather imitation does not arise for a second.Finally, the reference to the title of my comment remains. Elli Khan is a song by a well-known Lebanese singer, Nancy Ajram. My Arabic is rather basic, but Elli Khan is about a heartbreaking love filled with longings. One fragment of the lyrics is something like: 'How could I live before I met you and how could I ever go on living if you left me'. Over the next few hours I smell my arm again and again and imagine how well the scent would fit into a Shisha Bar. The oriental flair is clearly recognizable, I feel like at a communion in the desert of Qatar at the campfire and I would like to greet everyone only with salam aleikum. Kind of awesome, but it doesn't quite fit a 23-year-old I am. I rather see the scent on a man 35+ years old. I sprayed it on my arm and thought to myself: "Uf he's a bit stinker. Does a combination of oud and rose really smell? It's already violent". Oud is incredibly complex in its raw form, whereas with synthetic oud, you can replicate elements of natural oud you require for use," Schoen explains. The first use of these replicated oud compositions was in YSL M7 in the early 2000s, "but it didn't quite make it into a broader consumer's mind. Oud was a bit of an acquired taste for the western world at that time." Now that we know these, let’s look at the different Oud Touch Perfumes on the Nigerian market and their prices.
