Agaressence
Brécourt (2010)

Another fruity-floral 'oud' fragrance with lots of plum, rose, a smidgen of 'oud', but a melange that smells close to a shampoo, without any distinction or merit and very insubstantial, and eventually dull.

2/5

In the perfumery isles of my mind this belongs on the dreaded rack with pale pink liquids in pink bottles. It's syrupy, it's generic, it's vaguely synthetic fruity with hints of acetone around the edges, it's Barbie with a migraine. Like many such things it's also stubbornly mono, lacking almost any kind of definition – glue in the nose. And they decided to call it Agaressence – go figure

Rose with a touch of a agarwood, which makes this fragrance fruity and woody. A little too feminine for me. 7/10

basically a boring skin scent!

Brecourt lists these notes:
T: Saffron, Rose Bay, Cassis, Plum, Oudh
H: Tuberose, Rose, Ylang Ylang
B : Oudh, gurjan, Cipriol, Jatamansi, Amyris Sandalwood, Civet
They also categorize it as floriental fruity woody and they are quite right. Reading the list of notes it is quite amazing how well blended they all are. Agaressence is a warm sweet seamless composition. The opening (a good hour) is very potent and interesting. Silage is good for the first 3 hours when rose and plum dominate. After that Agaressence fades away substantially. 12+ hours after a generous application (a whole sample vial of 1,2ml) demonstrate outstanding longevity but they also include the time when Agaressence is a skin scent. I cannot tell if Oudh is important or not in the composition although the list of notes tells otherwise. Compared to for instance Kurdjian's, the oudh in Agaressence barely succeeds to stand out. Concluding this is not a masterpiece but it is more than decent. Still it is too sweet for me.
