Oud Dates Delight Eau De Parfum THE HOUSE OF OUD

This is a beautiful frag centered around the date, which is dark, rich and powdery, all at once. The real magic, is in the drydown! The balance of the sweetness with the dark dates, tonka, caramel notes, create an addictive and intoxicating blend. This is perfectly unisex, IMHO. I find it very sexy and warm and would say this is full bottle worthy if it is within your budget.

I really get the spiciness of the cinnamon and coumarin in the opening, with the sugared dates and fresh peony underneath. Leans more masculine at first, with an almost medicinal scent. Like a tiny hint of gold Listerine mouth wash, but that scent fades after a few minutes.

Although this is a sweet fragrance, it never turns syrupy sweet. The date scent gets deeper, but the spice keeps it fresh, and there's a hint of powder in the drydown.

A beautifully addictive fragrance. I only tested a small amount, and the projection is really great. I find myself sniffing my arm constantly, but also there's a wonderful sweet aura of it around me.

I will not purchase a full bottle, but only because of the expense. If this was affordable, I would have already purchased the largest bottle. What I will do, is sit here in fragrance happiness until this scent fades. I still have three quarters of my tester left, so next time, I will slather this all over me, and spend most of the day simmering in this beautiful fragrance.

When I wear this, I feel like I should be re-enacting 50 Shades of Grey because it's so fucking sexy! It definitely screams "I smell like I need to be fucked!" and that would apply to a man or a woman wearing it. I get the same vibes wearing Musc Ravageur because they are both so appealing to the senses and evoke intimacy. Projection is decent, sillage not bad, longevity is fantastic. The biggest drawback is the price but this is definitely full bottle worthy.

I am new to THoO and let me tell ya.... i am IN LOVE! This house has be obssessed. When i smelled dates delight, it smelled exactly like i would dream of a niche date perfume to smell.

The dates are hyper real, the sugar, vanilla and honey are the supporting actors blended to perfection. This smells real, natural, cozy, yummy, but elegant and A clean put together vibe. One of the most elegant gourmands ive put my nose on. Versatile too! Could be dressed up or down. Such an opulent feel aa cherry on top the bottle adds!

The biggest thing i have to say about the house of oud is the smoothness of their scents. To me, niche has to be all abouth smoothness and a well blended high ingredient composition. Very likeable and unique take the cake.

The only issue i have w this house is longevity and projection. It Would be my favorite house if these aspects were there.

It's delicious, it's delightful, it's delovely.

As a sweets-and-gourmands sceptic, I still adore this beautiful scent ... it's got just enough grunt and dirt (and great heaping spoonfuls of cinnamon) to let it stay bewitching without ever cloying. This is an adult pleasure, not a kids' dessert. The pyramid above might make you think it's a sticky, syrupy, overwhelmingly rich, but no - it's terribly classy (just as well as it's also horribly expensive) and seductive. The dates, right in the middle of things and the lead of the chorus line, are certainly sticky and fudgy, but always somehow still natural enough - with notes of green and wood and life - to seem charming and real. Cinnamon and cistus add in just enough dusty, herbal notes to keep things honest.

So - an unqualified love! This is what Zoologist's Camel aspires to be, I think. Surprisingly good longevity (I kept getting unexpected wafts throughout a day and kept deliberately sniffing myself to check it was as good as I thought it was - confirmed, every single time... projection's not massive, but I still got delicious puffs of distant dates as far as 9-10h in, almost unheard of on my skin) and a really rounded, solid feel to it overall. I could only ever afford this via a decant or a used partial bottle, but my good g'gosh it's gorgeous.
