Greed

7.4

OM Parfum · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

OM Parfum Greed is a unisex scent that turns a floral, fruity sweetness dark with spices, oud and animalic notes; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated good and sillage good too, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are more a hint than a firm measure. It suits both men and women, and its gourmand, spicy character points towards cooler weather. Orange gives a sweet start, then cocoa, jasmine, iris and pepper come forward in the heart. The base is led by oud, vanilla, gaiac wood and cistus, with animalic notes and musk adding a leathery, resinous warmth.
