Oudi

this would be a must have for oud lovers. of course the dominant note is oud. followed by the other notes. the dry down is a powdery sandalwood which is just so nice if you love sandalwood too. anyway, you have to be careful if you wear this during the day in a hot weather. coz it can turn to body odor which is just so disgusting.with that said, the best time to wear this is in colder climate or if you live in the tropics like i do, wear this indoor with air-conditioned where you're not gonna sweat. if you combine oudi with sweat that's what results in body odor. when i wear this, i combine or layer it with another al-haramain's fragrance that is madinah. if you wear just oudi, it kinda smells more masculine although it is a unisex fragrance. i add a little bit of madinah to give some feminine vibe to it. the combination of smell is just so exquisite. just how a niche middle eastern perfume should smell like. longevity and sillage is exellent. you don't need to apply a lot coz some people around you might not like how you smell. use this moderately. usually i don't talk about price coz i don't make it an issue or i try to get them cheap. i bought this for MYR 20 which is a steal and i blind buy this.

Don't judge this scent by how it smells when you sniff the bottle (it smells harsh and medicinal at first). It changes and improves a lot when applied to the skin. The longer it is on your skin, the better it smells. Very attractive scent. Oud, saffron and rose are combined pleasingly. Projection is not as strong as an alcohol based scent, but still quite OK. Anyway, there are alcohol based scents with much worse projection than this. Longevity is good. Price is great - excellent value for money. Drydown is better than initial application, which is medicinal. Drydown reveals the rose and the saffron, among other notes. The bottle is packaged in a flip top box, like a pack of cigarettes. Apparently there is still somewhere in the world where cigarettes have positive associations. Most Westerners would associate cigarettes with lung cancer and emphysema, but Al Haramain doesn't, haha.

Great versatile oud scent well balanced and does exactly what it says on the box. Notes seem accurate to me. Good enough to be worn on its own but may be used for layering too. Compared to other attars I have this one seems less potent. I feel I have applied quite generously - the same quantity of say a strong Al Rehab (such as Saat Safa etc.) would knock anyone out in my vicinity but not so with Al Haramain Oudi. Longevity pretty good although the scent stays close to skin after a few hours I find. I guess I need to revisit this when it's either really warm or when I am wearing warm clothes so that my skin will carry the scent further.

I don't know how it's possible to make a perfume this good so cheap. I got mine on Amazon for $4 USD. Sweet and pleasant, but not terribly complex - the oud note registers as a mildly bitter counterpoint to the floral sweetness. I get fruity jasmine as well as rose off my skin, while saffron and sandalwood provide necessary grounding. Suitable for warm, but not hot, weather. Longevity is good and projection middling - better performance than some perfumes at 20x the price. The 15ml rollerball flacon is perfect for toting and reapplying. If you have $10 to spend on perfume, this is the one.

I have many arabic oils in my collection and i must admit Oudi is one of the best. It is the perfect combination, at least for me: Middle Eastern notes combined with religious churchy ones. Well done, Al Haramain!!! P.S. the longevity is above medium, i can smell it on my wrists after 8-9 hours.

A classic mix of bright oud, sandalwood and rose. Been done before by numerous perfume houses but this is one of the better attempts. Light beyond the medicinal opening (no different to any other oil) and very sophisticated. Wearable for any occasion at any time of year.

A nice spiced oud with rose and amber to control the harshness of oud . Teriffic sillage and good longevity, about 7 hrs on skin & 12 hrs plus on clothes. cigarette box is nice enough to carrying inside your pocket!

love this but if they can tone up the rose note it will be superb

I got very curious about the middle-east perfume oils, so this was my first buy, since here in Portugal we simple cannot find this in stores I went and blind bought it, since it was fairly cheap. The first snif was indeed different, not in a bad way, not at all but sharp, after a while it's just amazing, so well blended, this seems quite an expensive juice, I mean, 100€ up!! The richness of the notes, I simple can't detect any artificial scent (not that I don't mind artificial scents, some of them are great in fact) but this, oh God, so so so good! I definitely get the oud, a sweet oud, warm but fresh at the same time, I can sense the rose very deeply blended, gorgeous! Now, to me this seems perfectly unisex (although a female co worker said this was a more masculine scent). I've tested on me and on a female friend, the smell was totally different, much much better on my skin, on my female friend I didn't like it as much, I will give it another go on other female friend and will update on that. Scent: 8,5/10 (In this one i'm not letting the price influence the rate, since I'm not familiar with the Arabian perfumes, But if the price matter I would give it a 9,5) Longevity: 10/10 (usually perfumes on my skin don't last long, but this one, 24h after I could still smell it on my skin, a skin scent but still, it was 24h after!) Projection: 9/10 (this is not a beast, it has the ideal projection, more intimate cloud around you, to me it's perfect for this type of scent, that's why the 9 out of 10) A safe blind buy in my opinion, and smells like a really good quality niche, I'm definitely gonna blind buy some more. Update #1: Tried again on a female friend, very interesting it does seems like a totally different scent, more intense on my skin (more masculine), softer on her (more feminine). This fragrance indeed grows on you, the more I used it the more I love it! For sure gonna buy some more of this Arabian juices, what lovely exotic masterpieces.

My mom gifted this to me after a trip from the UAE. It was nice of her to 1st use a little. Haha! It smelled light and refreshing on her. But that's because I must've smelled after she'd been wearing it for a few hours. Like someone else mentioned, there is a pharmaceutical note on application. After about 15 minutes, it dissipates. This is so much nicer than any of the Oud fragrances I had smelled before. M7 gave me a headache and I couldn't understand what all the hype was about. In fact, i had no idea this was Oud based since the writing on my bottle is in Arabic. It's light-ish. Fresh and floral and yes, after you've been wearing it for 2 hours plus, is at it's best. 1ml goes a mile and this is incredibly long lasting. Seeing that the Middle East sees 40 degree Celsius weather every other day, you can understand why it has legs to go the distance. Definitely unisex. But I can't imagine lumberjack types wearing this. Monteil lovers? They'd like this. But it's not as complex as they might hope it to be. So, it's 15ml of Oud Light. How cool is that golden cigarette box? No mess no fuss.

This is the first pure perfume I bought (with the intention of layering it under YSL Libre le Parfum since the notes should compliment each other). The initial vibe I got of Oudi is akin to those scented rosaries you can buy on religious sites but in a good way! This is very much a rose perfume, however not the all-too-sweet kind, on account of the incense-like quality of agarwood and sandalwood. I smell light patchouli as well, though veeery subtle. To me, this is a universal option for every season and time of day. Safe blind buy too, I'd say. It is not too spectacular. I believe Oudi has around a 15 cm sillage but I'll update as the day progresses*. *Around an hour in of wearing this fragrance, I can tell that the green note has strenghtened, but rose is still the most distinctive. Four hours after application Oudi becomes a skin scent; you can still smell it if you sniff, although I must say I applied only a tiny bit of product and that certainly makes a difference. By now the smell is mostly woody. Tenth hour: scent is gone:(( Now onto the layering test

This is an absolute dead ringer for Black Aoud from Montale. It was a surprise for sure because Montale frags have that specific Montale DNA— and this is honest to god identical. I wouldn’t be surprised if Montale actually copied this, as they have sometimes been known to do. It’s not a super earthy, mulchy oud, rather it’s a brighter more sparkling one. There is a definite strong rose note and some saffron and sandalwood as well. The performance is excellent, this is good and strong and you don’t need much. For $11, this is a great buy, and I’ll be keeping it around for sure.

easy, simple rose-oud. more rose than oud. nothing challenging, nothing skanky, just a clean, pretty rose with an oud base. if you don't like rose, stay away, of course. if you do, this is a reliable, wearable option. it starts off strongly medicinal, but after a ~20 minutes, it becomes a gorgeous scent. unisex, though some western noses might read it as feminine. good for layering. sillage is modest, keeps close to the skin. al haramain doesn't fail :)

at the very beginning there's a blast of something light and fruity but it fades within seconds. then it gets a bit animalic and medicinal on me. definitely oud dominates. i get some hints of rose but this is primarily oud and woods on me. a very nice oud but not super complex, at least with my skin chemistry.

A very beautiful and oriental rose aroma from oud! very durable, beautiful, smells very expensive! it cost me 4 euros. The smell cheap from Dubai and smells like a million dollars! scent 10/10. Stunning! unique, unisex and compliments. Diamond with the family of Al Haramain oils. I will definitely buy again!

Classic rose-saffron-oudh blend... nice, if you're on a budget, but the oudh note is quite linear here (my guess: a low-grade, Indian oudh as it is quite woody)- none of the complexity of Swiss Arabian's 'Mukhallat Maliki' (if you're looking for a better quality, similar blend).

A mild, very soapy, sweet rose attar with support from hints of saffron, oud, etc. Good for a cheapy, like most Al Haramain products I’ve tried. And like the others, it’s so soft I would put tons of it on me.

Its very strong oriental scent. 1 drop of this Rose Saffron Oud potion is more then enough. Anyway scent is very beautiful and unique. Slightly medicinal in opening but very floral afterwards.

Nice perfume oil with heavy, classic 80's vibe. Quite feminine and mature (but I can imagine it worn by a sophisticated man as well). Great price. The bottle is simple and nice.

A beautiful perfume - a stronger version of Arba Wardat. I'm still disappointed with the sillage as nobody would know you're wearing it unless they came up very close to you.
