Oh good, glad a real fan finally showed up! Agree that rose/oudh combos are getting dull, and do think they were wise to keep the rose quiet.

A bit late (as ever) but I tried this for the first time last Friday and loved it. True, I am cumin friendly and any mention of animalic notes and my ears prick up in pleasurable anticipation. This had the benefit (to me) of having no obvious rose note. I am bored silly by rose/oudh combos so anything which doesn’t do obvious gets my attention and this did with its civet and castoreum funk – yum!

Too bad! I love that LL too.

I’m a bit late, but I tried it yesterday for the first time. Preamble: I normally love cumin ( as a spice – it’s one of my staples, and in scents such as LL’s Rose 31), but too much is too much, what a pity

BTW – I never did revisit the Oud today as I decided to spend the day cooking and eating and didn’t think that would be the appropriate scent for that. I went with Une Rose Chypre instead.

Well, this snowstorm should compensate for that!

I’m definitely loving all this snow here! I haven’t seen any for many years during my holiday visits.

Maybe it only works on people with 4-letter names starting with T and having 2 A’s.
