As someone who as Oud Wood, I can’t possibly justify wearing it everyday because of its price tag, but I love the uplifting smooth, darker woody scent. I figured why not try this one out, and absolutely loved it. About as good in smell, longevity, and projection as the original, even slightly better (but that might just be because I have a weaker batch of Oud wood). Amazing value, can’t really go wrong with it. Definitely would recommend.
