Comment: Agaressence is part of Les Contextuels Collection
Agaressence is nothing more than an oud version of L'Amoureuse. It's simply another generic, unsophisticated and syrupy fruity-floral, with a glaring tuberose accord. The execution is crude, the quality of the components is questionable and what little oud is discernible most probably isn't the real thing.
With good longevity and sillage, it's just too simple and indistinct. To be brutally honest, it would be much more suitable as a low-end oud fragrance for novices – especially pubescent girls, who have unwittingly conformed to social conditioning by way of their once cherished Barbie dolls.
