Last week Metropoliten perfumery presented the latest addition to the family of  Diptyque perfumes, Oud PalaoOud is the substance that forms inside Aquliaria trees when they get infected with mould. This perfume combines the signature scents of East and West, as it says on Diptyque website, and its main accords are Bulgarian rose, oud (also known as agarwood), sandalwood, olibanum, vanilla, cistus, patchouli.  In the same time we had the chance to see other perfumes containing oud, or those that contain accords that are normally combined with oud in perfume making. I enjoyed this event a lot, the whole idea was lovely and interesting and the way perfumes were arranged corresponded to the theme of autumny scents so well, which is always a plus in my book. 

Oud Palao itself smells nice, deep, strong, autumny, and although it is a bit too strong for my taste, you could really tell that perfume notes in it go well with each other. Also, on Fragrantica website it got raving reviews so I can safely say it is perfect for people who love rich, orient inspired scents. As always, Diptyque wouldn't be Diptyque without its wonderful candles and they have an Oud candle as well, which is described as ''alter-ego of Oud Palao perfume''.

Other lovely perfumes you can see here are Byredo's Oud Immortel, Acord Oud and Rose Noir, Boadicea the Victorius Explorer and Regal, Juliette has a gun Another Oud and Midnight Oud, Frapin's Terre de Sarment, L'Artisan Al Oudh and Skin on Skin and Nobile 1942 Rudis. I liked L'Artisan's Skin on Skin the most, it combines saffron, whisky, lavender and rose accords. Saffron and rose are the notes often used in perfumes that contain oud so that's the reason why this great L'Artisan perfume was among the others on display.

Pošle nedelje Metropoliten parfimerija predstavila je najnoviji parfem brenda Diptyque, Oud Palao. Oud je supstanca koja se formira unutar azijskog drveta Aqulia kada je ono inficirano gljivicama. Ovaj parfem kombinuje prepoznatljive mirise Istoka i Zapada, kako to piše na Diptyque sajtu, i njegove glavne note su bugarska ruža, oud, sandalovina, tamjan, vanila, cistus, pačuli. U isto vreme imali smo priliku da vidimo druge parfeme koji sadrže oud, ili one koji imaju mirisne note koje se najčešće kombinuju sa oudom u procesu pravljenja pafrema. Uživala sam u ovom događaju, cela ideja je bila lepa i zanimljiva i način na koji su parfemi bili aranžirani savršeno je odgovarao temi jesenjih mirisa, što kod mene uvek dobija veliki plus.

Sam Oud Palao je lep miris, dubok, intenzivan, jesenji, i iako je za moj ukus prejak, zaista može da se oseti kako se njegove note divno slažu. Takođe, na Fragrantica sajtu dobio je odlične recenzije pa sa sigurnošću mogu da kažem da je savršen za one koji vole bogate mirise inspirisane orijentom. Kao i uvek, Diptyque ne bi bio Diptyque bez svojih prelepih sveća, pa tako postoji i Oud sveća, koja je opisana kao ''alter ego Oud Palao parfema''.

Drugi lepi parfemi koje ovde možete videti su Byredo Oud Immortel, Acord Oud i Rose Noir, Boadicea the Victorius Explorer i Regal, Juliette has a gun Another Oud i Midnight Oud, Frapin Terre de Sarment, L'Artisan Al Oudh i Skin on Skin i Nobile 1942 Rudis. Meni se L'Artisan Skin on Skin najviše svideo, kombinuje note šafrana, viskija, lavande i ruže. Šafran i ruža su note koje se često koriste u parfemima koji sadrže oud pa se iz tog razloga ovaj sjajan L'Artisan miris našao među ostalima koji su bili izloženi
Ako ste radoznali da vidite (tj. pomirišete) kako miriše Oud Palao ili neki od drugih parfema koji su ovde pomenuti, slobodno svratite do Metropolitena.
