Oud is incredible, I became obsessed when my friend showed me her oud collection, much of it prepared by her mother in Zanzibar. There is a Swamp Oud and Vetiver Root duet currently available - can't speak to the qualities of swamp oud though! Some other scents off the top of my head that might appeal: Hypatia (Rose water and a mineralic, star-dappled blend of white musk, crystalline amber, and sweet oud) and Deuteronomy 10:18 (Hay absolute, patchouli, agarwood, and vetiver), Also be on the lookout for agarwood in descriptions, just another name for oud.

Gorgeous heady orange blossom (maybe a touch of jasmine too?) surrounded by a gorgeous humid, foggy aquatic note. The smell of hot June rain

Hunter’s Moon: Tonka and Fossilized Amber
roseus replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Duets & Menage A Trois
Incredible chewy rich amber, with tonka giving it and extra bit of juice. I have a hard time describing tonka, and here it is unobscured. It's like a dusky, vanilla+. It's a bit nutty-fruity, and has a bit of a woody muskiness. Gorgeous duet! -
I agree this has a creamy sort of earl grey vibe, like if a cloud was infused with a white tea earl grey. It feels both creamy and airy at the same time, foggy is a great word for it. This has crazy throw on me, but is gentle enough of a scent that it isn't overwhelming.

Fizzy peach in the imp, more peachy-chocolate on my skin. Which sounds like a strange combination but it is really pretty. The buttery pastry of the pain au chocolate comes out a lot during the wet stage, but dries down to juicy peach and chocolate with a hint of fizzy cherry (and it is behaving on me!).
-
The vanilla and sandalwood combo is soft- reminding me more of Reapers Gonna Reap than And Though They Are With You. The tobacco is gentle, it lightly sweet and adds a bit more richness and body to the scent as it settles on my skin. The blackcurrant bud is more prominent earlier in wear adding freshness. It is subtle and refined, a really elegant scent.

Waxy cherry-vanilla in the imp, reminiscent of flavoured lip balm. Almost candy-like. On my skin the cherry is cough syrupy as expected unfortunately. But on my wife it is a gorgeous juicy cherry-rose combo, with that waxy vanilla base. Really pretty!
-
I agree this is similar to Madrigal, a little deeper and darker. The plum and opium really transform the Snake Oil, I still get that patch-vanilla-incense base but it's not like some variations where it's Snake Oil but with extra embellishments. Sultry and hypnotic.
-
Pretty lemon-speckled thick vanilla-honey. I get more amber and skin musk as it settles on my skin. It's golden late summer sun in a bottle.
-
Gorgeous salty lilac and lavender. I agree that is feels quite herbal. A soft, cool toned scent. Definitely going to need more of this.
-
Waxy and rosy in the imp- lipstick for sure! On my skin I get the breezy narcissus and a touch of some mineral notes. I don't get dates specifically but could be adding to some of the deep sweetness in the scent. It's a lovely, nostalgic scent.
-
In the imp I get an incense-y, rose-y chypre that just reads as 'ornate' to my nose. It makes me think of a beautiful manor. Oh my skin the warm, sweet musk and patchouli are th main event. It's warm, slightly spicy and incense-y with just a breath of rose in the background.
-
Oh this is pretty! The cherry and rose meld together in a really pretty and interesting way. It's sweet and creamy but not overly so. It has a fun and frilly vibe.

Couple Engaged in Intimate Acts as the Man Pours Tea

This has been the jasmine tea note I've been hunting for awhile, and paired with rice?? I'm in love. Dries down to a delicious rice and vanilla base with a jasmine-flecked deep green vegetal tea note. Just the tiniest hint of yuzu but overall a mellow cozy scent on me. -
Tart, pink, juicy and creamy. A beautiful breezy tart-sweet floral, and I swear I get guava? To me it is not a candy-sweet but juicy fruity sweetness. It doesn't change much on my skin and has good throw. A great refreshing summer scent.
