Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq

This review is for Mukhallat Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq, in the 60ml EDP bottle. MDAOM opens very strong with an oud note that instantly dominates the composition. It is pungent and animalic displaying the dirty, untamed, wild perspective of this magnificent ingredient. The rose note along with soft woods plays a discreet role in the background achieving successfully to keep this wild animal into its cage. This taming of the oud as the perfume progresses, in combination with dry herbal notes and mild spices, offers a very warm masculine exotic woody vibe that stays close to the wearer for hours. I do not have the knowledge nor the experience to understand whether this mukhallat contains aged oud or not, but this perfume has undoubtedly been a whole new experience for me. It required an open mind, several wearings and a receptive attitude to finally appreciate the opening's animalic attack, later followed by the ingenious smooth transition to the musky warm and sensual confident drydown. MDAOM is generously presented in an impressive and heavy glass bottle with a luxurious cap mechanism. A wonderful discovery. 8.5/10

The 18 ml perfume oil is a really lovely rose oud combo that is very unisex and long lasting. It's a real perfume, starts out barnyardy but quickly segues into one of the more complex and interesting of the rose ouds as the rose is not sweet at all and in combination with the oud creates a bewitching aura. The medicinal aspect of the oud works well with the rose to create an opulent effect, by which I mean it has depth and texture. The 6 ml oil is pure oud, there is no rose. It's a medicinal woody oud, starts out a little barnyardy with complex aromas, then creates a powerful medicinal woody aura. It skews masculine, also extremely long lasting and powerful, its effect goes on for hours. I think I prefer the former however my husband seems to enjoy and appreciate both. I prefer Oud Al Jazaab for a medicinal oud as it is warmer and has a gorgeous floral phase that is quite special.

Pure aged fermented Indian Oud oil. Rich, deep and very pleasing. As already said below, the picture and note pyramid are for another fragrance. Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq is a top offering from Ajmal. This very fine quality aged and fermented Oud oil comes 6ml in this hand cut crystal bottle. Pure unadulterated Indian oudh oil done the traditional way. A small amount, I first used two swipes and was overwhelmed, will do. This opens with a blast of dark unsweetened chocolate, traces of wild black horses, bales of hay stacked in the stable's loft as the sun sets on the countryside. It's warm and inviting and totally unapologetic.

I bought it aged years ago.. Its double aged now lol Its the best pure aged Oud in the market.. The listed notes are wrong, they are for Mukhallat Dahn Al Oudh and not for Dahn Al Oudh Moattaq, this one is the pure Oud

I don’t know much oud quality but this is one perfume that will satisfy your craving for good oriental frag ... way better than mancera/montales!! P.S. there are many similar frags like this but this feels richer.
