Louis Cardin Oud Forever Eau de Parfum 80ml Spray Jasper Conran Galbanum and violet leaf open

Galbanum and violet leaf open sharp and green — not the fresh-linen green of a shower gel

almost minty note that smells like the plant itself rather than the fruit

and three is for nights when you want people to notice before you open your mouth

A translucent formula that blurs texture rather than covering it

The base is warm amber and sensual musk

Louis Cardin Oud Forever Eau de Parfum 80ml Spray Jasper Conran Galbanum and violet leaf openOud is heavy and dark from the opening that resinous, slightly animalic base that smells of old wood and smoke. Louis Cardin keeps it grounded with spice and leather, so it reads worn in rather than overwhelming. 80ml EDP for him. Three sprays in the morning sit on skin through the day and linger on clothes into evening. Not a whisper this one announces itself.
