Firstly there is no oud in this, if there is it's a rare kind that doesn't smell like a barn yard or anything off putting. This can be worn by North American or European women no problem. There's something about it that I would find it strange to see a man wearing this even though Black Orchid by Tom Ford which this is cloning claims this is unisex.

My mom was wearing a perfume very similar to this scent profile before we knew what Black Orchid was like and received a ton of complements so when the bottle was getting close to finishing I wanted to get her something similar. One thing led to another and I tried Black Orchid in a higher end department store and it was similar enough that I had one goal when I went home and that was to get something similar to it as I can't justify Tom's prices.

When it arrived, I quickly sprayed a bit on my wrist and was happy enough to show my mom as this is the first time trying something by this company. If a friend or loved one enjoys black orchid they'll like this. The body spray was certainly a nice addition. It doesn't smell cheap either. The projection and longevity you'll certainly get a full day out of it. My mom was very happy with this. She usually alternates between this and youth dew.
