Oudh 36 Nuit

I like the idea of being objective and neutral when writing a review. So I’ll try to be as technical as possible because I do absolutely love this perfume. Friendly warning, this juice is incredibly powerful.. When I read that people were talking about it’s silage and longevity, I honestly thought they were exaggerating... boy little did I know. This is one the most powerful and most performing scents I’ve ever encountered. I did a test with a nice silk handkerchief, sprayed 3 times on it and 72 hours later the smell is still very much there. I didn’t notice it lasting on my skin more than 18 hours. So be aware of this. The opening is tremendously powerful, so after a few seconds you can start to distinguish the accords. Cedar and saffron are the ones that I noticed at the beginning to be more prominent but shortly after, the Oud and Rose make an entrance. I’ve never had the privilege of smelling a real piece of Agarwood or real Oud incense but I can tell there’s something very familiar about the other Oud fragrances that I have (Tom Ford) that I think use real ingredients. So If I could take a wild guess, I’d say Al Haramain is using real Oud here. For the most part of the time, the scent is a mixture of Smokey wood with a sweetness to it, I’m sure the rose, saffron and spices make up for this. Finally after a few hours and days later, you’re left with the sense of what I could describe as smoked or fumigated. I does make me imagine of being around a lot of smoke or burning oud in a confined space and then coming out of it. It could be a very linear perfume but you get what you’re told. Oud, rose and saffron. And to me, that combination when done well, is one of those unforgettable scents. Personally I absolutely fell in love with that Smokey almost tabaccoish Oud and the wall of sweetness behind it. I combine it with Tom Ford’s Oud Minerale and it becomes this amazing unique and confusing scent. Makes it hard for people to pin down haha. I’ve also combine it with TF Oud Wood and it also smells great, it actually seems to give OW a more mature and mystic punch. Beware the packaging, the top leathery emblem on the box is kinda fragile, other than that. No complains.

My respect and admiration for Middle Eastern fragrances 🙏 I ❤️ this Oudh 36 from Al Haramain. I already have couple more fragrances from this house and I love them as well. To my nose, this is not a direct clone of Oud Ispahan. Yes, there’s some similarities but Oud 36 has its own character and personality. It’s more pleasant, smooth and wearable compared to CDOI. But don’t be deceived by that smooth description, this is a silent beast and projection monster 👹 Just a friendly advise, if you like this, just don’t be trigger happy, okay? 👍 First time I tried Oud Ispahan I was put off by the initial skank. After 2-3 revisit though, it has grown on me. I got it and that started my quest for amazing Oud fragrances that are affordable but great, and are rarely heard or discussed in the community. But once discovered, it’s gonna sell like hot cakes and price might go up. Typical of Middle Eastern blend, the formidable unison of rose oud and saffron is just amazing on this bottle. Sexy and gorgeously masculine but make sure your confidence is all set for this one. With the right get up, season and occasion, this will turn heads. The price for this one however is not really that cheap. I got mine for less than $70 from an online discounter and It’s funny coz I thought I was the only one who experienced that sticky box 😁 But as long as the juice is there and its authentic, Im cool with that. One thing to remember about this frag is it easily makes you nose blinded probably because of its unusual strength. Very powerful but after awhile, your nose pick it up as a skin scent. Just beware coz others from 6 feet can smell you so try a couple of spritz first and see what happens. Great for cold weather, formal occasions and night outs. I’ll give this sexy juice a 9.5/10 👍 Happy sniffing folks! 👃😉 “Let us spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world” 🙏

I bought this Oud 36 Nuit along with Montale Black Aoud because I wanted to explore a powerhouse oud and I've really liked the other fragrances I've bought from Al Al Haramain. I also bought a bottle of Versace Oud Noir. OK, I've discovered that the rose and oud thing is NOT something I like. I hate the Montale Black Aoud! Yes longevity is great. Yes, sillage is beast mode. But that's a bad thing because it smells like grandma's funeral wake. The rose is all I smell and it's nauseating. I bought a 10 ml decant and that will likely last me a lifetime. The Versace Oud Noir on the other hand is very different. No rose. I love it! But the performance is very average. Both longevity and sillage are modest. But the stuff is very wearable so I don't mind the performance. Beast mode is not what I want for the office. So what about the Oud 36 Nuit? This is exactly what I was looking for. It's powerful with longevity and sillage equal to the Montale. But the rose is much more toned down here. The whole thing is just better balanced. It's not a crowd pleaser. It's still polarizing and strong. But it's not nauseating at all. It smells good and it's different and interesting. Al Haramain has hit another home run as far as I'm concerned. I blind bought a full bottle and I have no regrets. However this stuff will make you a lot of enemies unless you go easy on the trigger. And even then you better have some confidence / thick skin to pull it off. Not everyone is gonna love this stuff. But everyone is gonna notice you. Definitely a cool weather nighttime scent for me. Not for the office. Not for hot days. Not for jeans and a t-shirt. This is either nice casual or formal wear only. But in the right circumstance, it is a very high quality oud and I'll bet most people have never smelled anything like it.

Oudh 36 Nuit is not your typical Oud/Rose combo. You can definitely smell those two, but the rest of the accords make it (at least in my skin) a soft, almost ethereal scent. When I write soft, I don't mean weak... this is a powerhouse, with great longevity and sillage. This is a weird oud/rose combination: while it is "soft, creamy and ethereal" it is also more male than unisex. This is definitely not an animalic oud, it is "soft", but it is dense and sweet. While it would be easy to write that this is a colder weather fragrance, let's not forget it is a middle Eastern fragrance as well, so this works well (for me) in Summer too ... just go easy on the trigger and maybe do 1 or 2 sprays. I like Oudh 36 Nuit so much, that I bought a second bottle, just to be on the safe side in case this gets discontinued. This should last a long time, because of how little you really need to apply to smell good.

I had a chance to try this quite impressive fragrance today while shopping. The small fragrance shop had this gem hidden behind the counter only for oud interested clientele. The packaging was superb and the scent was gorgeous... I had been testing designer frags all morning and this one just blew me away! It reminded me of Acqua Di Parma Oud, not quite as well blended but still quite nice... with a beautiful smoked dry down like the insence note in Issey Miyake Nuit. One of the best oud incense combos I have put my nose to... I am writing this review because after 12 hours it's still performing like a champ with just two sprays on the back of my hand. update: it does last over 24 hours... Yes a skin scent but never have I tried a fragrance that just keeps going and going...
