Amongst the Al Oudh fans, I had: one Vietnamese girl, two young Chinese women (both from mainland China), and a Thai man. One of the young Chinese women also fell in love with Amaranthine, Le Parfum de ThÃ©rÃ¨se and vintage Shocking. This is leading me to reconsider all my preconceptions about the Asian market: they might be more forward (after all, they came to a perfumery course), but they may also be the trendsetters…

Hmmmm… I need to retry this. To me it smelled rather too much like MKK (unwashed hair and body) with a dash of Dzing thrown in the mix — can’t remember smelling any cumin. Which I love, by the way, in food AND in fragrance

I thought the Asian market liked barely-there fragrances?
A while ago I complained about the popularity of fruity-florals. Now we are squashed beneath the Sven/elephant butt while our noses are rubbed in cumin. I’m sorry, fruity-florals, you got even and won. I give up. I never thought perfume Should make me smell like the D.C. Metro at rush hour. In July. With the air conditioning off.
