I have owned Sueded Oud for a while now (since last summer). It was a blind buy made solely by the raving reviews from Anne Lauren (yes, once again she's managed to do so!).
I don't know why and I don't know how, but I managed to forget to write a review and even worse, add the fragrance to my Parfumo shelf.
I have made mistakes blind buying a fragrance before, so I didn't dare to get the full bottle, but I managed to find a 10 ml bottle perfect for an introduction. Which is also why I'll spare you my own photography - the 10ml atomizer isn't very photogenic.
Luckily, Sueded Oud, wasn't a mistake.
The name Sueded Oud alludes to a dominating and strong fragrance, but the key wording here is 'sueded'. This fragrance is smooth and delicate, just like I imagine the word sueded to be - making something softer like the feeling of soft suede.
I don't know how Clean did it, but this fragrance has so many notes whereas the scent itself is very simple.
Pimento, cactus, praline, incense, patchouli, birch, cypress... This should knock you out like the first spray of Oud for Greatness, but instead, Sueded Oud comforts you, snuggles you in and feels like a freshly washed warm and cozy blanket.
It has a wonderful projection and I feel confident wearing it, it is perfect for an office job, a meeting or if you want to emanate maturity and confidence.
Though not like that of praline, which I find sticky sweet, Sueded Oud has a perfectly sweetened balance that is delicate and feminine. It isn't just a cashmere soft scent. Very close to skin, I even find it powdery, but in a very endearing way.
I am very pleased with my blind buy venture, thank you Anne!
