Well you've ordered it so I suppose you will find out! I don't really know how manly you like your scents.....it doesn't smell like Brut or blue stratos it smells (to me) a little like Tom ford Black Orchid. YMMV :)
 
What an existential crisis I'm in!

Not a fan of Creed Aventus but enabled by the discussion of Oud 24 Hours and Mystique so I bought a bottle of each. The Mystique is yet to arrive but the Oud 24 has me in a quandary. Do I like it or do I not? I've been sniffing it on my wrists for the last 48 hours and vacillating between 'Too sweet' and 'Lovely'. I like my attars and generally don't mind a bit of sweetness ( but not fruit!) but I just can't make up my mind on this one.

See what you enablers have done!

I got my Oud 24 today and I don't know about you but wow its a frag bomb. It really does have the TF black orchid theme so much so it fooled my wife who has owned TF for many bottles lol. But its got a slightly sweeter kick that I love. Or really interested in what Mystique smells like.

Mystique has a citric freshness with a woody essence coupled with tabacco and musk ......very nice indeed and at ten squid a bottle for EDP you can't go wrong! :)

How are you feeling about the 24hrs now? It develops and unfolds as the day goes on, I loves it! :)
 
I still have a feeling that it might be too sweet, but a decisive factor is that SWMBO likes it! Wifely approval means much in these matter! It is certainly long-lived and mutable. Got the Mystique yesterday and I like it a lot. Probably, all in all, these two are the best 20 quid I've spent recently.

It's true, for the money you can't go wrong, and if the good lady wife likes them you're on to a real winner :)

So youd recommend the mystique also then paul

It's quite complex, multi layered if you will, it unfolds during the day revealing different notes, you don't often get that in an inexpensive scent, it's outstanding for the money.

Yes it certainly is. Its obviously down to the quality of the essential oils or what ever parfum they use because its very strong and lasts aswell.
