Uden

I am an Allure junkie so I had to give this a go and actually found this a little cheaper than I paid for my Edition Blanche. First thing I noticed is that its not as sharp with the citrus up top as AHSEB. It has less lemon for sure and its opening is smooth and rich whereas Blanche is sharp up top and almost feminine until its dry. As it drys I feel it move away from Blanche and closer to Allure EDT with rum. More masculine and a touch more body and less powder than Chanel. I do not think I will be wearing my Blanche with this on the shelf. It was never my favorite Allure but this more manly. I wish I would have bought this one first. Neither of these hold a candle to the dried down OG Allure though but better than Blanche by a good measure. Performance is OK but nothing to call home about about. The evolution on skin is pretty impressive and I would say that this has a better opening than any Allure flanker.

This fragrance is very complex, so much so in fact throughout the wearing you end up going through about 3 different wearing experiences. The first is a citrusy rose scent, the second is a citrus coffe woody scent, then the 3rd is a coffee, rum, with a hint of vanilla scent. I think this stuff is more for the "artsy" type of collectors, it smells good enough to be worn by anyone in any season however it changes so much that it's quite difficult to pick a good time to wear it and that leads to this just sitting and collecting dust. I'm almost certain you own fragrances that are better suited for whatever the season or occasion is, good at alot of things but great nothing.

Uden starts very bright and lemony - it's a very clean smell and similar to Chanel Edition Blanche. As it starts to settle a little you can pick up some of the rum-coffee notes, which blend wonderfully with the rest of the scent. Once it fully dries down after a couple hours, it loses almost all the lemon but turns into such a wonderful smell - kinda creamy and much more of the rum-coffee notes. Despite this somehow it still works perfectly as a summer scent - probably due to the dry-down becoming a near skin smell. The performance is fleeting, I wish it lasted a bit longer, but it's better than a lot of other summer fragrances. I love this one

this is a very elegant one, i like it a lot. Citrus opening with a dance of wood and vanilla. As it evolves it becomes a masculine florals and vanilla with very light wood. there’s a slight hint of boozy warmth and cream. Despite these notes i have described, none of these notes dominates. a very beautiful and balanced blend where each element contributes to something unique. it does have a powdery vibe to it which is not my thing, I wish it was richer and had more strength, but i understand why people love this fragrance. masterful blend. year round fragrance and appropriate for casual or formal situations

Got the 50ml today. I'm in the fragrance game since 2015 and this is definately one of the best fragrances i've smelled. Amazing rich smell of high quality citruses,rum and vanilla. All notes are perfectly blended together. This fragrance really is good for formal occasions but you can wear it every day all year round. Performance is good. It does smell a little bit like Chanel Edition Blanche but Uden is A LOT better quality. If you want a high quality cirtus scent definately go for it. I had Erba pura and Naxos and this one is better.
