Dehn al Oudh Abiyad

Taking advantage of the Black Friday discounts, I tempted myself with these three Arabian wonders: Musk Abiyad EAU DE PARFUM , Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad EAU DE PARFUM, and Mukhallat Abiyad EAU DE PARFUM. I took them blindly, not knowing what awaited me. If I am not mistaken, Abiyad in Arabic means white, which would seem appropriate for these three treasures. Freshly released into the air, Musk Abiyad is the gentlest and comes as a fluffy cloud of pinkish dust. Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad is the most faithful and resembles burnt syrup from oud sap. Last, Mukhallat Abiyad is the most rebellious, commanding, leathery and camphor undertones. Dehn Al Oud, also spelt Dehn Al Oudh is an Arabic word “دهن العود” and means “The fat of the Wood”. It is the exact name to designate oud oils. In this perfume, oud is polished, in its purest spell, evoking a cold outdoor bonfire. Sometimes it can have a distinctly medicinal element to its woodiness, reeking of plasters or lime-based disinfectant. But here, it’s done right, and with my body chemistry, it descends into a smoky, incense-sweet, leathery richness. Delicate scents of medium musk and herbs round off this fun element perfectly. Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad is a classic oriental fragrance full of musky and green tinges combined with the revisited woody note of Oudh. The fresh citrus, connected with the smell of cedar shavings and a hint of the salty smell of the sea, led off the dance of this otherworldly Arabic scent. A diesis of spiciness from the sweet cinnamon kicks, but given that the Middle Eastern attars and perfumes are fond of the musky accord, a mild white musk joins right after and plays a leading role. On me, the musk pops out almost immediately to stay up to throughout the day. In the heart, a magnificent fusion begins with the appearance of two ingredients, the cedar with a tinge of vanilla. The delicate sweetness of vanilla distracts the fragrance from the sparkling cold nuance of citrus, making it softer. I catch the oud, a polish one, not too animalic or medicinal. Woody and oud aroma harmonies sit next to the intrusive semi-animal notes of musk. The aftertaste of this dance flows into the base fragrance. The musks and woods blend perfectly and form a sort of aura around me, which I feel without bringing my wrists close to my nose. Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad completes with base accords of earthy, woody, mossy, spicy, semi-smoky and sensuous oud, with milky and cosy vanilla. The dry-down exudes an aromatic, herbal, and balsamic facet close to the nose, which I can easily associate with the juniper needles, not to be mistaken with the berries. The Dehn Al Oudh Abiyad is a crowd-pleasing and delightful fragrance, and I recommend it if oud already acquainted with you. It is exemplary for the day but is also at its best in the evening. Inoffensive and safe for the office if sprayed sparingly, ideal from morning until early evening, and suitable for spring or autumn seasons. It does not project too much but lasts several hours as a skin scent. Ultimately, this Dubai gem is just too good. I love the smell, and it stays with me for a long too. I base my opinion and review on a bottle I have owned since November 2022.

This smells very fresh and clean. I smell bergamot, musk, rose, maybe a tiny bit of menthol, something salty. I don't really smell much wood on my skin when wearing this, it does get a little sweet as well. It's probably my own body chemistry doing this, but on my skin this is a feminine leaning soapy rosey, maybe there is a white floral in there as well, fragance...Lovely for spring time and it lasts quite long! There is a review underneath comparing this to Lattafa's Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud, I have both bottles as well and these fragances are in no way comparable at all imho...Ameer Al Oudh is a By the fire place dupe/inspired by...it is very smokey, very woody, sugary and has a very warm vanilla in it, it def does not have the fresh soapy musky slightly salty vibe this has.

I found this on clearance at Marshall's. It's a great blind buy! I get a blast of bergamot in the opening and then it turns herbal, musky, sweet and clean smelling. It sits close to the skin. It almost reminds me of Irish Spring soap back in the 70's, not the current stuff. No oud at all, which is perfectly fine with me. It's lovely and a nice change from the heavy, spicy scents on the market from UAE that I've been obsessed with. This will be great in the Spring and Summer months

A smooth musky scent with a marshmallowy trace. If you are an oldie you feel this perfume as a clone of Jlo glow. It reminds me of the loukoum desert. Good value for money, safe blind buy, if you are into the soft, musky scents.

It doesn't smell like those notes listed exactly. I smell rose, oud, some kind of flower and spice and a heavy salt note. I love it. It lasts a while too. Definitely unisex.
