Summer Oud

I truly appreciate a fragrance that has an evolution and Summer Oud is one of those scents. This is my second AAM, another blind buy lol but I had faith after I got Laathani. This opens up with a slight citrus and incense, the top doesn’t last long until it evolves into an earthy rose but sweetened up with caramel. AAM has this distinct oud that you can smell in all of their compositions, it’s not an intense oud at all. But, that Oud rides throughout the whole evolution and stays towards the end when it settles into a sweet rose/Oud combo. It’s not like the plethora of rose/Oud combos out there, it’s different and better. Performance isn’t explosive but it’s definitely strong. 🙏🏽 Stop by my TikTok for some fragrance content: nerolicannoli Edit: The leather is stronger than I anticipated, it's good and flows well with the fragrance but it definitely makes it more masculine.

Almost criminal how good and classy this stuff is for the price (I paid 22 Euros for 60ml). Lasts the entire day as well and a huge compliment puller, WOW. 56% oil concentration of niche quality stuff for the price of a cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake? Are we dreaming here? Scent: 10/10 Seasons: Fall, Winter, early Spring (no way in high heat) Performance: 10/10 Presentation: 10/10 Price: 11/10 Do I like this even more than Laathani - which is one of my favorite fragrances of all time - from the same brand? Remains to be seen, but it's up there for sure. Do. Not. Hesitate (if you can find it for a good price). My otherwise annoyingly picky girlfriend (who owns 50+ niche fragrances) wore Summer Oud to an early Xmas party and you could almost see and taste the scent trail the entire night.. Otherworldly. 2 more bottles underway.

I decided to wear this today, just a few sprays under my D&G Devotion. It’s been sweltering hot where I live and I couldn’t wear any scent from morning till the night. But I suddenly had a craving for this. Now wearing it, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this in the first place. It’s oud yes, not for the oud beginner definitely, but the oud is wrapped up in the smooth citrus creaminess likely from the combination of citrus and caramel. The saffron is quite noticeable and can be harsh to some noses but I find the scent well blended. Overall I find the scent, beautiful and intoxicating. Projection and lasting power is excellent as it has a high perfume oil content. However not a safe blind buy. Instagram: @umma_tofa13

This isn't a clone of Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade, but it's a comparable original creation that you need to get your nose on; the quality will smack you in the face. I am already an Ahmed Al Maghribi fan but I think this is easily their highest end offering in both ingredients and blending. It opens with saffron, mandarin, and smoky incense. As it settles, it transitions into this slightly sweet and jammy rose mixed with cashmere wood, patchouli, and caramel. The base is niche...no other way to describe it. It's a smooth blend of leather, oud, and musky vetiver. It's pretty potent so you should go light with the sprays; very luxurious.

Amazing scentt. it opens with loud blast of Oud, mandarine and soft incensy smells. The opening 100% masculine, but strangely as it moves to heart notes, the rose and caramel going strong, giving oriental floral vibes. Its really weird on my skin. first hour its masculine power house, after 4hrs+ it morph into feminine smells. truly unisex fragrance. Scent: 8.6 Longevity: 8.5 (easily 8hrs+ on my skin) Sillage: 7 (small bubbles) Projection: 8.5 (project quite nicely for 3 hrs+ actually) A formal / romantic event for men. Business attire for woman. work great in colder month, obviously not summer fragrance.
