Oud Laosi by Craft Oud (Dr Parasun): I was already into his Oud Ashoka, King Kalakassi and Sandal Supreme II, now this pristine Laosi (Laotian Oud) is here. A little bit civet in the beginning is breathtaking for me. Woody civety oudy, Oudy civety woody and many more probabilities are there to experience in its single swipe. First, it appeared to me close to skin, but the aroma evolves and unveils its beauty slowly but steadily. (Never imagine it similar to Ensar's Civet Oud at all as Laosi is deep, complex, masculine and kaleidoscopic.
When it was delivered and I sniffed, I though some musk or civet or Castoreum maceration jar is left opened on the table, but it was Oudy animalic. Well, this animalic is not ordinary and monotonous at all. It is so subtle and silky that made me think it is an attar, but it is not. Woody backbone is perfect and dark spice and musky floral touch is there too.
In short, pleased to have it.
