Woody Oud | Eau De Parfum 80ml | By Maison Alhambra

Product Information

Feel the richness of the Aquilaria tree along with Russian coriander and Haitian Amyris. Long lasting with a sillage that is strong but not overwhelming. Scent-wise it’s similar to Dior’s Oud Ispahan if you replace the citrus with rose. The best way to trial a fragrance is to actually wear it. If you can, Smart suggests choosing a few you like on paper cards, spraying one on each wrist and a third on the inner elbow. Smart explains you should allow at least half an hour for the notes to develop, and judge them accordingly.

Oud’s like an enigmatic character. It’s got depth, like an ocean of stories in a single drop. But hold your horses, it’s not playing the gender game. Oud doesn’t have a him or her tag. As we come to the end of this fragrant journey, let’s wrap up the essence of what we’ve explored together. The world of oud, often referred to as “liquid gold,” has unfolded, each scent telling a story of its own. Having walked in those scented footsteps, I can’t help but feel the enchantment of this aromatic adventure. So, is oud smell any good? Oud is all about depth, luxury, and spiciness. It may seem a bit overpowering, yet it can invoke warmth and smoky notes. People find it simultaneously pungent. When mixed with fruity or floral notes, it can be very sensual and seductive. Due to the growing demand, rarity, and effort it takes for harvesting it; the oud prices make it one of the most expensive oils on the globe.Alcool (Alcohol)-Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water)-Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, Hydroxycitronellal, Coumarin, Citral, Eugenol, Geraniol, Benzyl Benzoate, Cinnamal, BHT.

Both Agarwood and its resin extracts are known as oud. In Western countries, many perfumers use agarwood essential oil under the name "oudh" or "oud." Oud is by far one of the priciest raw fragrance ingredients on the globe. This precious ingredient comes from the tropical agar tree known to thrive in the Middle East. Oud is a peculiar fragrance with an intense and seductive aroma. Its olfactory profile is bound to get you noticed, while its woody smell is rich with nuances, ranging from leather, earthy, sweet, to spicy fragrances. The oud smell depends on the tree species it comes from and the method of extraction. Oud scents are very potent, which makes them a great choice for colder seasons and any special occasions. They go especially well with formal attire. When using oud fragrance, the application method is very important. If you can move past the eye-watering price tag, this really is one of the most unique, memorable scents we've ever come across. It gets its woody depth from cedarwood and ambergris, but jasmine and saffron add an addictive, feminine quality. It's one of those scents that's hard to discern a single note too, which is probably why so many people are enchanted by it (us included).The nose behind this lovely scent is Ilias Ermenidis, a renowned Greek perfumer specializing in multi-cultural fragrances. Ambroisie is the best Arabian Oud fragrance for her. Designers created Ambroisie to honor Lancome’s founder, Armand Petitjean, who made his life mission to make women happy. Just like women, this Oud is a balance of sweet and spicy. Pure oud is more expensive and smells the best. Of course, not everyone has the means to cover such a pricy product. Even synthetic oud fragrances still crank up the oud perfume price. That’s why you can’t find a cheap scent that uses real oud. With that in mind, you can still find an affordable oud perfume that smells good. Hayari New Oud is a unisex French-style Oud that is warm and spicy. Designed by Cécile Zarokian, Hayari is earthy and warm like a chilly fall evening. Hayari is woody and floral in the opening notes, turning to vanilla and amber. While each person is different regarding their taste in fragrance, there's no doubt that woodsy scents feel sophisticated and cool. Maybe it's because they're a departure from the overly sweet perfumes of our youth, or perhaps it's just something that happens to your olfactory system as you grow up (much like our taste buds). Either way, there's no denying the sultry appeal of a scent that's laced with notes like cedar, amber, bergamot, or sandalwood. These have a dry, warm smell—evocative of, well, the woods.

Oud purists will be enamored with Tom Ford Oud Wood. The dry, smoky redolence is made up of sandalwood, rosewood, eastern spice, and Chinese pepper, giving it a really bold, genderless feel. Eau de Cologne: This type has less essential oil. It doesn't last too long on the skin, so it's typically found in larger bottles for more frequent reapplication. Spicy, dense, and woody, this fragrance balances the oud so it’s noticeable but not dominant. It might feel too “safe” to oud enthusiasts but a great place to start if you’re new to wearing ouds. Compared to other aromatic woods, sandalwood can keep its fragrance for decades. But, its durability will vary based on the storage space. The fact is sandalwood and Agarwood are very different. Oud can be a lot more strident. For some, oud is more complex and deep. It can also have fruity notes depending on the products you buy.
