Numero V

Numero V emerges as a crowd-pleasing interpretation of oud, where the intimidating note takes a backseat to allow a masterful dance of dark chocolate and Brazilian coffee to steal the show. The fragrance community particularly celebrates its opening act - a heavenly blend of bitter chocolate and roasted coffee that creates an almost edible aroma cloud. While some oud enthusiasts might find it playing too safe, most praise its accessibility and sophisticated composition. The journey begins with an opulent gourmand opening, transitions through a leather-touched heart, but faces some criticism for its synthetic oud dry-down. Perfect for fall evenings, it strikes a delicate balance between mysterious depth and approachable charm.
