I tried to use the search engine with multiple different keywords and choices and nothing would come up and...The posts I COULD find through google just have a bunch of people saying that oud smells like poop lol. So I hope this post is post is okay!
I just bought a soap that has Oud in it, and I am obsessed. I assume that it is the Oud, anyway, because I've not really smelled anything exactly like it, and I NEED to find it in perfume form, or something very similar. I do not get the "poop" scent at all. I found a description of it that feels right on the money for what I'm looking for, and what I get out of it when I smell it:
"Oud has an enticing aroma with a unique scent profile. It lends a woody warmth to a fragrance that often feels intensely earthy, spicy, and animalic. Its brooding smoky nuance gives it a church-like smell, ensuring a more complex, dark, and bold dimension to any composition."
The only perfume that I've ever worn is "So Below"; the heady, velvety scent of it is just perfect but I want to branch out. I tend to like things like vetiver, amber, and more musky/velvety scents. If anyone has any recommendations that might fit the bill I would appreciate them
