Gourmand Bakhoor Dehn Al Oud

I feel in love with sample, but the perfume, when it arrived smelled sooooo wrong, I felt confused. I let it sit for 3 months (cap off) and now I’m in love. Definitely worth the wait.

I purchased this after being sent a sample. I fell in love with the sample and the previous review that compared it to Bailey's was spot on! Unfortunately, when I received the full size, the oud smell was so strong it was repulsive. I was so confused because it smelled nothing like the sample. I would have returned it, but it seemed that since I had opened it that a full refund would not be an option. I was and am still confused as to how could this be the same as the sample I fell in love with. Well, it has been about 3 months and the smelled is less repulsive. Not to the point where I will wear it. I have learned that some scents need to macerate, so maybe I should try that so my $240 doesn't go to waste.

This scent is vanilla and lots of it, but not cloyingly sweet, instead think Bailey's cream once it's settled. Lasts long enough to be on my sheets the next day. This one is easily a staple go to. Can be worn by everyone.
