   A couple of wears in, Oud Palao has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   Picked up a sample of Oud Palao after reading the community buzz (2015). The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   I have owned Oud Palao for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   I picked up Oud Palao (2015) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   Diptyque knows how to compose, and Oud Palao (2015) is proof. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   For a 2015 release, Oud Palao deserves more attention than it gets. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. I would happily buy a full bottle.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Oud Palao. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   Everyone keeps talking about Oud Palao, so I finally gave it a proper test. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

    I’ve been wearing Oud Palao on and off for a few weeks now (2015). The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

    I have owned Oud Palao for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. Sadly this one does not work on my skin.

    I keep reaching for Oud Palao more than I expected to. Give it a little time and Laotian oud with Bulgarian Rose comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Laotian oud and Bulgarian Rose feel carefully balanced. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.
