Product Information

Note on monetization: My blog is not monetized. But if you’d like to support my work or show appreciation for any of the content I put out, you can always buy me a coffee using the little buymeacoffee button. Thank you! This fragrance is absolutely smooth, low-key but attention grabbing, slightly comforting and yet very powerful in it's stance. This is one of those fragrances you wear when you've got your stuff together and you aren't looking for attention or to offend anyone....but just to smell great! Both product I just mention have longer longevity compared with the 8 products released 2018. However, they do not last long like Oud Ispahan.

Dior Purple Oud opens with a strong projection of oud, sweet citrus, and spicy notes. The opening is bold, mature, dark, and projecting, challenging, elegant, and pleasant. Other than the oud, which is at the top of the opening notes, the orange, pink pepper, and saffron create an equally balanced accord. The oud in this fragrance is pungent, very dark, with a combustible or gasoline vibe, yet elegant and refined. The orange creates a pleasant sweet citrus accord, but it is short-lived, what remains is the spiciness of the pink pepper and saffron and combined create a bittersweet spice, slightly leathery, and earthy accord. The fragrance is relatively linear, the opening has a delectable sweet orange touch, but it dissipates towards the dry down, also, towards the dry down, the oud relaxes a bit, the harshness of that initial combustible or gasoline vibe subsides a bit, but the note remains dark and bold. Once Dior Purple Oud has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a very strong projection, slightly sweet, oud, and spicy fragrance. The fragrance feels bold, casual, commanding, dark, dense, dry, earthy, elegant, formal, harsh, heavy, imposing, masculine, mature, moderate-quality, mysterious, nocturnal, old-fashion, oriental, powerful, pungent, slightly sweet, warm, and pleasant. It could be beautiful, should be beautiful, but I just would never ever wear it. So, sadly, not for me. I put some on today since I work from home and I don't have to worry about feeling self conscious wearing it. Maybe I can see why I really have kept it for about 15 years now? Really think about why I still own it for this long. Hmm.... I must admit that it's still unique for what it is. Even though there are many other scents that try to emulate it and some are pretty close but none are really this one. As this scent ages, the truffle note really does become more mentholated to me and honestly I actually love it. If you don't overspray this scent, you can really enjoy the chocolate note, the patchouli note and myriad of fruit notes this one has. Very gourmand fragrance though, very. If something edible smelt like this I'd definitely eat it. I get Tonka, chocolate, vanilla, honeycomb, a bit of spiciness like cinnamon/cumin/saffron. It's got a real cake shop vibe to it. It's lovely.I hope everyone is doing well. I would like to give my own opinion of the latest 10 Dior products from the private collection includong Purple Pud and Santal noir. I respect everybody’s opinion and i am judging based on my nose.

It comes off as a somewhat masculine-leaning classic, by no means a fougere as far as scent type, but surely a woody/spicy work that strikes me as a versatile offering for my own wearing, the splash of citrus providing just enough levity to keep this from being an evening/autumn/winter fragrance. if this is the scenario of producing 10 at once, at least I was expecting to produce 5 lighter scents and other strong scents , so many people can enjoy. Contains nuances corresponding to natural animalics, such as deer musk, ambergris, castoreum, and civetI feel confident when I wear this because I know this scent will create an awesome scent memory with whoever encounters me. And as a man of color, this fragrances smells like it was made for me. Since Hindi oud was so highly valued by the elite, i.e., the royal families of the Middle East and the Emirate, the taste for this style became pervasive in Arab culture as a whole. The characteristics of Hindi-style oud oil are as follows: The island of Borneo is owned by three countries: Indonesia, which owns seventy-three percent of the island, Malaysia, which owns twenty-six, and the Sultanate of Brunei, which owns one percent. Oud from trees on the actual island of Borneo tends to be different (and superior) to oud from trees on the mainland of Malaysia or Indonesia, regardless of whether the tree comes from an Indonesian-owned or Malaysian-owned part of the island. The characteristics of Borneo-style oud oil are:

The idea of producing different versions of one perfume is really based on marketing. Dior homme the classic is super nice and unique perfume in the market, why do we need to make sport, cologn, and intense version? The only thing I can think of is to widen th range to cover more people taste and increase the marketing of that successful products. The other thing that comes to my mind, is that it is easier to manipulate a scent and twist it instead of creating a new fragrance from the scratch. Overall, it's an offering that is nice and has some gravitas, unlike the majority of the fragrances in the Maison Christian Dior collection that are available in the US. This is why and how a whole generation of oud distilling has sprung up around the replication of the aroma characteristics displayed by the original tree. We no longer need the original tree when we have what we think is the recipe for what made oil from that tree smell so good. And in fact, the success of some of these efforts in aping the aroma of the original oil, using different wood and different distillation techniques, is nothing short of astonishing.Many people find the buying of oud anything stressful, partially because of the extra outlay involved and partially because of fears over authenticity. The more money one spends, the higher the expectation of purity. Nobody likes to feel that they are being duped. But a bit of common sense will help steer you in this matter.
