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

Product Information

Using the finest-grade 100 per cent organic oud oil, Cannabis Intense is one of the line’s finest achievements.

Fusing Eastern opulence with Western refinement, Thameen’s Treasure Collection looks towards the world’s most iconic jewels for its inspiration. Aside from being one of the perfume industry’s most bewitching and flamboyant characters, Roja Dove is probably also the most respected. The latest fragrance from the legendary fragrance brand begins with a rich Laos oud that is softened with notes of violet accord and rose from Bulgaria and Turkey as well as vanilla and amber. With bright citrus top notes and warm agarwood, Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud is a lighter take on oud. Despite being an eau de toilette, it’s also surprisingly long-wearing—I find it's still detectable on the skin seven or eight hours after I've first applied it.

Blended with Turkish rose and saffron and lying on a luxuriant bed of frankincense and sandalwood, it is catnip to oud connoisseurs and is one of the most precious perfumes on the market.

Its intoxicating muskiness can be quite potent, and it’s been used for centuries in India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Charismatic, seductive and full of mellow flavour, it is well-balanced and intense, but with a mellow flavour. Inspired by a time when the two great civilisations of Britain and the Orient were closely entwined, it is one of the most mystical, addictive and moorish scents and perfect for cosy nights in front of a fire. Intense and magnetic, the fragrance journey begins with saffron and uplifting ginger and then seasons the rose with a touch of cumin for spice.

Looking to the cultural significance of oud; used in traditional incense and perfumes for centuries and mentioned in one of the world’s oldest written texts (the Sanskrit Vedas from India), it has a punch that makes it more appropriate for evening than day. An oud unlike any other; Oud Eclat, turns this mesmerising but often polarising perfumery ingredient on its head.

Inspired by the stylish intellectual set of Saint-Germain in the early 1960s, the rich, tobacco-laced scent feels expensive and opulent.

A good starting point, if it is blended with other ingredients, is to choose from your favourite florals, woody or even fruity notes. Of course, I wasn't expecting to like it, which made it all the more interesting when I found that for the first time, I wasn't put off at first sniff.

If you’re looking for a pure, uninterrupted oud experience this is as austere and authentic as you’ll find. Fusing the artistry of French fine fragrance with an Anglo sensibility, Miller Harris is one of the most celebrated British perfumery businesses, especially popular around the wedding season. Frédéric Malle’s stable of 12 perfumers, working across the Editions De Parfums portfolio, is a unique fragrance “communion” that works on so many levels. Type: Eau de toilette | Top Notes: Pink pepper, juniper berry, red berries, cardamom, bergamot, grapefruit, fig leaf | Size: 3. Margiela fragrances are unique in that they evoke a specific place or experience, in this case, a blooming park in Shanghai on the first days of spring.Formulated by Ormonde Jayne founder Linda Pilkington, the standout scent, in our opinion, is Ormonde Elixir, based on the original Ormonde Man with its forests of hemlock and cedar but obviously updated with the animalistic spice of the precious oud ingredient. When mould ( phialophora parasitica ) infects the agar tree, that's when the tree creates a dense, dark, and fragrant resin—all in an effort to protect itself. A deeply textured and hypnotic scent, sitting comfortably within the oriental/woody fragrance family, it is both intense and regal in its composition while also spicy with a burning heart and a heavy scent of leather. Giles, told us that you should "always check the effect of a fragrance on your skin before parting with your money. Elegantly blended, Versace Oud Noir is a good intro to the beauty of agarwood as it is a mellower and less aggressive version of oud that you often find.
