   Primarily a Leather accord with a nice Oud bed. It’s wonderful on it’s own but add a nice musk base and some treatments and you got a full blown perfume. This one is potent and I would recommend diluting before using. I’m sure you will make many nice creations with this one due to it’s versatility.

   Hmmm. Smokey pooh. I find this one fecal. Not extremely strong but very present none the less. Its ok. And I think this warrants dillution of at least 50%. But, I have a hard time with Animalic materials so I would dilute this to 10% and possibly veil it with some sweet or creamy woody notes. Its very rich. Nice, but I prefer the cleaner oud type.

   This hit me hard with a memory of my first leather miniskirt at a party in Manhattan, and an amorous encounter in a broom closet. There is a subtle cushion of oud beneath an in-your-face layer of expensive leather. It is not quite fecal for me as some have said, but there is certainly something of indole-cattle-silage. It smells very expensive and cosmopolitan with a touch saffron absolute!

   This is a really valuable leather component for me, in the saddle leather rather than black leather direction. Incredibly powerful, and doesn’t smell good at all until you dilute it considerably. It’s pleasant even on its own after you dilute it down enough. The animalic/stinky aspect is definitely there, but I find the leather aspect makes it more manageable than for example Oud Malaki or Oud Samrat which I haven’t yet been able to work into a blend without them stinking up the joint.

   Powerful oud, animalic and intriguing, when diluted it is perfectly ready for use.

   This thing is a beast. Strong strong leather, smells horrendous straight from the bottle, but after dilution, you get a beautiful suede/leather smell, like a biker jacket or cowboy boots. This is definitely more of a leather profile than oud (very little to none as the leather really overtakes everything) like pointed by previous reviews. I recommend diluting it as it easily dominates in a fragrance (learn from my mistake ). It has a strong effect on a formulation.
   Diffusive, extremely long lasting.

   Incredibly indolic with a prominent skatole aspect. This definitely has a fecal edge to it, but it’s prettied up with a sweet leathery nuance. Unlike Pretty Oud, this one doesn’t strike me as overly *OUDY*, but for a fecal/indolic modifier, this is stunning. I would draw comparisons to Oudh Infini by Dusita or Leather Oud by Christian Dior, as far as the fecal aspect is concerned, and I think this could be a stunning addition to oud compositions, dirty florals, rose themes, vintage musks, and of course, dirty leather.

   Be aware of the fecal element, as it’s definitely here. Sort of a raunchy, sensual, overtly sex-scented naughty bits aroma. If you’re into that, this will likely please, but if those things challenge you, this could be a doozy. I happen to genuinely enjoy this one, though it will be the definition of “challenging” for many.

   Love it! A powerful sensual leather base with an Oud undertone.
