Signature : Oud Wood & Dark Vanilla
Axe / Lynx (2016)

This has a pleasant vanilla and for $4 it certainly qualifies as the best and most upscale of the Axe line. However that is like driving the nicest looking Hyundai Accent. If that's the ride you're stuck with then driving the best looking Hyundai Accent helps. A little.

Reminds me of a lighter version of Perry Ellis Oud Black Vanilla Absolute. For the price, this is a steal. Of course with that price comes a synthetic Oud with a vanilla sidekick. Perfect for pre-gym workouts. Projection and longevity are very low, but for $2.99 what would you expect? 7/10

Am I the only one getting flashbacks to Caswell-Massey's Tricorn here? That, plus a big dose of old-school Old Spice DNA, makes up this particular body spray. If you used Tricorn ten years ago, you'll probably love this one. Longevity is excellent - I sprayed this on my wrists and neck 10 hours ago; it's still going strong now, although it's faded down to a spicy vanilla more than anything else.

A nice woody fragrance with vanilla. The oud here is synth woody notes that are used in many "oudy" niche.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a work of art but is better than most of the "oud" fragrances out there.
And at $5 definitely the best bang for your buck 'oud'.

Nice sweet oud and vanilla. Bit on the synthetic side but still worth it for the money!

Oud Wood & Dark Vanilla is just a nice masculine sandalwood and vanilla fragrance. Too much alcohol ("stings the nostrils") in the opening but the drydown is pleasant. Dry woods and sweet vanilla. It does remind me of one of their sweeter, darker shower gels, which isn't a bad thing.

Projection is modest and longevity is worse, maybe 3-4 hours tops. Seems best suited to cooler weather and casual events.
