After much research and thought I went ahead with this blind buy. I'm glad I did. I was hesitant as many of Mancera's top notes have a tendency to be harsh and abrasive. Just too much to my nose. This particular Mancera did not launch a full frontal assault. Oud Exclusif is not too wild or barnyardish but is no shrinking violet either. There is a simplicity to this fragrance that I appreciate. Not a safe blind buy in my opinion. I recommend that you test first, even if I did not. This is a decent choice for layering to give oumph to any anemic perfumes that could use a boost from the oud notes/accords.
I am also pleased with the purchase as my tester came with the cap. This made the purchase for me.
Great price and service as always. Keep up the good work gents.
