50 Years Golden Oudh

well..well...well... Real Oud at this rate? that too 100 ML Spray? Are you kidding me? It has a bit of a skank so don't expect it to be sweet immediately after spray.. it does get sweeter with time though. Funny part is I get a 3D bull bodies oud when I go for full spray, if I spray it half or 1/4, it comes across as 2D Oud more like a cultivated oud and lacks depth but 2 full spray and you see the magic! Perfume lovers especially living in Europe and US, if you really want to smell oud in perfume this is how it smells.. everything else which you must have smell especially in designer perfumes.. is not even close to real oud. One should get this for sure if you want real oud at such a good price. and yes longevity is 8 to 12 hours on skin and a week on cloths. Projection is for 2 to 4 hours but it has a good sillage so no complain in this department at all. I have a dry skin and perfumes does not last on my skin.. if I am getting such performance, you can imagine how it will perform if your skin is slightly on an olier side :-D

A true authentic middle Eastern oud not for the faint of heart at first spray.However let this rest on skin and not paper then it unravels, into something beautiful and almost transcendental.This is not my first experience with Al Haramain and authentic oud.The first scent I had was Oud Cambodi that was too animalic though the dry down was heavenly. This one is animalic but more bearable and that stage transitions faster the oud is at the forefront the other notes come out gradually to mellow it and give balance.This is a true pure niche oud that is for the connoisseur only not the novice.As far as a rating I give this an 9/10,as the opening was a challenge but I love the progression of this also the presentation is opulent and regal.

What to expect from this fragrance: oud, oud and yet more oud. In short this is a well blended fragrance, you will smell oud mainly, the other notes support the oud, but I cannot pick up anything in particular, except the oud. The oud is non-skanky and this smells authenticly middle eastern. Performance is good, plus 8 hours with good projection. It does not cost much and is easy to wear, well blended and versatile. For me this is a day time, night time, every time a good time type of a fragrance. It's only shortcoming in my eyes is the tacky bottle design, which is nit-picking at this point. Summary - cheap, good quality, easy to wear, natural smelling pure oud fragrance with good projection and longevity. Love!

Smirky explains this fragrance perfectly below so not much to add. Blind buy for me and I'm thrilled with it. A dark resinous oud with musky patchouli base to give it some depth beyond the wood. The rose is in the background and is just enough to make sure this goes ever so slightly in the sweet oud direction rather than the smoky acrid direction. Phenomenal performance and projection and a quality to price ratio which is off the charts. The benchmark oud in my collection.

This gets better on skin as the hours go by turns into the highest quality rich smokey aromatic bakhoor resinous oud you'll ever smell.This is exactly what I looking for this is all encompassing and encapsulating of the middle east.This is distinguished mystical and the trail would be gorgeous it's also deceptively strong.Gives a brilliant aura of luxury exoticity and allure.
