Pour Homme Oud Noir 3.4 oz Eau de Parfum Spray

Love it. Pairs well with my Vanilla Noir by bath and body works lotion and shampoo, Regular Noir by bath and body works is also nice with it. Very strong with the first spray but after it dries its very nice. Smoky smelling.

Why Versace? Versace is a well-known brand all around the world. I really like this cologne because of the long lasting scent and it was my very first Versace cologne. This Cologne is ideal for beginners. Price. Versace could be very pricy. I bought this cologne for $95 in 2014. A lot of websites are selling this cologne for very affordable price now. Versace is a well- known brand. So an individual can expect this cologne to be a little pricy. It is a great anniversary and birthday gift. Ideal Users. This is an ideal purchase for cologne collectors, beginners and someone who is trying to impress girls. Ideal to wear it at wedding receptions, business meetings, date nights and family gathering. 3.0oz bottle is large enough to last you at least six months. Unlike other colognes you will not have to spray half of the bottle on you to get the long lasting smell. Only few sprays will do the job. Scent. I have received many complements about this cologne. A lot of my friends have even asked me to let them wear the cologne. First few sprays you get bright, fizzy pink paper scent and has a warming feel to it. After about two minutes you start to smell very smooth polished wood smell. I am not a cologne freak but I do have a big collection of colognes. I have had POLO, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, black EXS and etc. I have never had Versace and I believe it is the best purchase I have made in years.

This is definitely a beginner friendly cologne for someone looking to get into male fragrance. This is my first Oud scent I’ve been using and at first I was definitely a little weirded out by the different aspect of the scent. It almost Feels like an incense all around you. It’s definitely something you have to get used to, also to pair this with decent attire is optimal, as it will bring to you an aura that is very certain and also sexy. I highly recommend this cologne, especially if you can get it at a cheaper price it is very strong. So there is almost no need to spray more then twice. This cologne should last throughout most of the year but in the hot summer it might be a little smothering. 9/10

Initial spray smells great but fades too quickly and are left with floral notes. Still a great buy when on sale.

Versace's take on Oud is a bit more floral (neroli + saffron) and less anamalic and "dirty" as some more standard oud frags can be. And in this case it really works. Versace does an excellent job of making solid fragrances and selling them at price points that put the scents within the reach of enthusiasts who don't always have the budget for designer fragrances - or especially not 100mL bottles of them. The silage and projection on this are excellent and it has decent longevity. And it has the distinction of being one of the only my frags of recent that had a stranger comment and compliment on it while I was out. The scent isn't easily found in the US market where I am and I've never seen it in a store here. And so its more of a regional frag for Versace which is a bit of a shame because I would much rather have this on my shelves than Dylan Blue or even Eros. It's mature and engaging and I haven't really smelled anything that smells quite like it and so it kind of stands out against all the more popular frags I notice people wearing. I'm definitely going to be buying another bottle as a back up once I get through a bit more but I think any frag enthusiast would be happy to have this on their shelves especially at the price point you can find it at on Amazon and other resellers ($55-65usd). The only thing I would say is that it might not be for everyone and could be a bit polarizing depending on the company and so I wouldn't recommend this as a gift and only would blind buy if you have some familiarity with Oud scents in general. Because even though it's much more approachable than others on the market - it's still in the Oud house.

Western Oud at its finest.

I blindly bought this because I'm a fan of Versace cologne and I have a huge collection of fragrances of all sorts, so I had to try out an "Oud" fragrance. I believe Oud comes from resin from a specific tree in Asia and is very rare. In the first spray, I immediately noticed a Woody scent along with a leathery spicy smell to it. I think it smells great, it projects well and it smells like how the bottle looks, dark. It comes on very intensely and potent, then simmers down to a smooth subtle smell you enjoy. It smells very clean and sophisticated. It's a great night time fragrance. People say it doesn't last long. I believe that's because the spray nozzle is so fine that when you spray it around 6 inches away, it disperses into the air instead of on your neck, so you're getting very little amounts of it. I usually spray my fragrances close enough to where it feels wet then it dries off in like 30 seconds and it works just fine. Overall, I'm impressed yet again by Versace and this fragrance is $155 at stores like Macy's and Kohls. So this is a steal, Amazon LLC is where I bought it from and it is authentic. This cologne is definitely different and no one would be wearing this like everyone wearing Bleu De Chanel and Dior Sauvage.

It's an absolutely amazing scent. Smells very spiced wood like. I habe to give it 3 stars though because thus scent wears off almost as fast as you can enjoy it.
