The True Bold

The True Bold by Al Ambra is a sweet, woody scent with fruit, spice and tobacco layered over oud. Gourmand and woody impressions are shared by everyone who describes it; about half also find it spicy, and a minority notice musky, amber or floral sides.

Green apple and pear give a crisp, juicy opening, with cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron adding a warm, slightly leathery spice. Jasmine brings a soft floral note through the middle, and tobacco a dry, honeyed warmth. The base is dense: agarwood and guaiac wood give a dark, smoky wood, Haitian vetiver an earthy dryness, incense a thin smoke, and Madagascar vanilla with amber and musk rounds it into a sweet, long-lasting finish.

The True Bold is worn by anyone. Its richness suits autumn and winter evenings and occasions where presence is welcome, and it will appeal to someone who likes fruity oud scents with tobacco and vanilla.
