Rose Oud The Body Shop for women

After smelling the rose oud combination in Dior's Oud Isphahan or Jo Malones Velvet Rose Oud, the body shops version lacks depth or that it doesnt appear to be well blended - i gave mine away more so due to an odd cumin note.

asher.jessie = NOT everyone can shell out 400 bucks for real. I can't afford oud let alone french perfumes sometimes. Prices in middle east are crazy but I heared in united states & in the uk there are great discounts & sale all the time unlike middle east. I still write long list of stuff I want to buy & guess what? I only come home with only one item. I can't afford to buy stuff with $400, this quantity of money can buy me loads of cheap stuff from walmart for example & above all, it can pay for some food & horrible bills.

Why the hell do you all care so much about trends?

No one complains that nearly EVERY perfume these days is loaded with bergamot and orange blossom. Nor does anyone complain that musk, amber, and vanilla are the bases for nearly every scent ever.

Stop complaining that they keep coming, and GET OUT THERE and smell them, so you can adeptly and intelligent review them as is the purpose of this review function!

This is gorgeous. Rose and Oud are excellent together, and not everything is accessible to everyone. This is accessible to me, so I'm taking it for what it's worth.

Unlike everyone else it seems, I'm not able to drop $400 on your prissy "real" oud fragrances.

I just wanna say something about Oud as so many westren people are complaining about it being now popular. I remember my first post about my fragrances collection, all of them were french fragrances cause I'm head over heals in love with anyhthing french, even clothes, food, drinks...etc. Though oud & orintal fragrances are way too popular in middle east specially in UAE & arabian gulf in general, I can't afford to buy them all the time cause oud is sometimes way too expensive as it's rare. Rich folk where I live now buy it all the time & use it in their fancy parties like luxurious proms & fairytale look a like weddings. I'm not saying that I don't like it but as you can see not anything I can afford though I want one single perfume from Amouage & all of there fragrances have oud & herps in them. When I was living in Lebanon as I'm half a lebanese, oud was not so common between my mates in there but arabian rich families like to buy it & mix it with musk or oud or ( oudah ) as we sometimes call it.

oud. oud everywere.

it's starting to turn into an oud plague, like it happened with litchi. They put it in every perfume.

This is not a new release at all, it's been all over middle east for two years now. I guess this release is only for eastren folk as oud is so popular between them. It smells so beautiful but also ordinary specially to people who're familiar with this kind of scents. It smells just like oud mixed with pink roses & that's it. This collection was released with another collection called Amber oud that smells very orintal. I just tried them out as I'm a big fan of the body shop company, they don't harm animals or people or anybody, I'm also with human right & animals rights that's why :)

Why aren't we surprised to see another oud release ? Hmmm ....
It's OUDated already :)))
