I happen to be wearing it today. Doesn't even smell remotely similar to the original Colonia. The Essenza is a neroli bomb. If the original is a casual day-time scent, the Essenza is for a smart casual evening out. Performance is quite good for an EdC by the way.

I used to sell decants (at cost price) but I don't have the time now ever since my son is born.
No worries, you will have a come back, even stronger, it does happened to me, even with 2 new additions.

I'm really excited to try the two new releases, Au Coeur du Désert by Tauer Perfumes and Civet by Zoologist Perfumes. Au Coeur du Désert is an extrait version of the famous  L`Air du Desert Marocain. Read more about the soon to be released Civet perfume here :-

Thanks bro.I'm pretty sure nobody will be offended by you since you're one of the most respected poster here.Like I said before,I'm just beginner of the Oud..From what I read,those Feel Oud,Ensar and Agar Aura are the real deal(did they?).Just curious If  you have tried any of those real oud oil.
I also find out that Agar Aura is based in Malaysia.So we have at least 2 highly regarded fragrance/oud house here.(the other one is Auphorie).Not bad kan? biggrin.gif

Or want to play the real deal by buying some real agar wood and burnt them as incense, i think it does cost more effort to extract them as oil.

I haven't tried those you mentioned but I have tried some from Arabian Oud. From what I read, none of the commercial perfumes use real oud because it's extremely expensive. Real oud is animalic but of course perfumer can add some animalic notes with synthetic oud to make it smell like the real deal. You can read more about it here :-
- http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.my/2009/12/p...odagarwood.html

It is said that there is a small amount of the real oud used in Oud by Mona di Orio. Some companies do that. Like the case of Jasmine used by Chanel. Only a small amount of the real thing is used on top of Jasmine aroma compound to make it smell more natural.

Start farming some agar wood then. Anyway if synthetic aromatic is able to do the job, let it be, to conserve the environment.

What will you recommend if I am just starting to explore niche/indie perfume? Being reading Kafkaesque's writing and felt like drowning with info overload.
