Oudy

Agarwood, Cedarwood & Sandalwood... This is a very woody fragrance! It's very woody but also soft, not strong or loud in any way. It's basically a mix of Oud wood (or Agarwood), and a bunch of other woody notes like Sandalwood, Cedarwood (a lot), and a little Saffron. It's quite nice. AlRehab perfumes are usually made of a good quality and lasting power at a low price. For what you pay for you actually get a lot more. It's a great bargain. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an authentic woody oriental with a hint of the middle east but at a very affordable price. I can see myself using this a lot in the cold weather. For the price it can't be beaten on value for money! Not too strong for people who don't like Oud, but instead a soft mix of woods and exotic incense. Very good, and recommended for a cheap, affordable bargain.

Oudy by al-rehab has two different versions it can be purchased in. The EDP spray, and the oil roll on. Each smells completely different. The oil is a nuclear Oud bomb! Its got that machine oil smell in the similar to Kilians Pure Oud and Kurkdjians Cashmere Oud. Longevity is excellent 8 hours +. Projection is not big at all, it is an oil. You will smell yourself, as will others close by. The spray is an absolute useless concoction. There is no Oud note here. It almost smells like a cheap sandalwood. Its such a timid composition, i sprayed 6 times, and i could barely smell it. Neither could the people around me. Its essentially a skin scent. Even still, it lasted a few hours and disappeared. Huge failure.

i got the mini oil. It's nice, VERY masculine, leathery, oily wood. It's basically the Nasomatto Black Afgano, but sweeter, and 1/100 the price. But maybe about 1/2 the strength and projection. It has a dusty dry quality, I can smell the stringent Narcissus in the back, and a powdery musk, but not much more. I'm not getting much tobacco in this. Some will say the Agarwood smells sweaty or almost armpit like. Sillage: light, not a musk bomb like the other oils. Longevity: dries down to a soft powderyness.

Oudy is a moderately strong blend of classic oud, saffron and incense/woody notes. It's definitely a "warm" fragrance and for those who have not yet learned the love of oud accords, it might require some consideration. I love it (male and a life-long fragrance obsession). It blows Le Labo's plastic-smelling oud out of the water as far as I'm concerned and costs about 95% less. I ordered mine from al-rashad.com and was pleased with the quick service and delivery.

Worn lightly (two sprays from distance) this is a wonderful, dark and mysterious unisex scent. Truly alluring. Four sprays from close range and we have an entirely different beast. The oud and musk are pheromonal, surrounded by deep, smoked tobacco; burning sandalwood incense; the leather of an old biker jacket and old motor oil. Yet it's never in your face or overly aggressive. The more I wear Oudy in either dose the more I love it.

Butiful but not a performance monster . If you want more you can get kalimat by swiss arabian or sultan al oud by this company....but this is a brilliant tobacco amber oudh combo that is a bit nasomato and a bit kalimat in a masterfully way .. To my humble opinion ..it sit close but lives a nice trail for 30 m to an hour but last as a skin scent ...on my son in..i am happy with this.

A great fragrance . I've been wearing oud fragrances for the best part of 30 years and I must say this is such a great perfume for its price. this smells better than some of the top end £200 - £300 oud based frags I've smelled over the years. A great intro for anyone looking to get into oud scents

@ bungalow 1056. & @ Sam ldh Very nicely put, and I second that completely. The cost is 95% less as @ bungalow 1056 rightly said ! A good job by both these reviewers. I tried to give balloon to @ bungslow 1056 but its already full! So thumbs-up both of you!

This is very similar to montale dark aoud. I was thinking of buying montale but after comparing a sample of montale with the al rehab I already have it would not be advisable. Oudy smells so close to montale dark aoud it would be redundant.

I have the alcohol perfume version and its fantastic. wood, tobacco, cedar. Non floral, unisex. Blends well with other perfumes as well, especially coffee, caramel and vanilla.

[This review is for the 35ml spray version of Oudy, which I understand can be a very different experience from the attar.] I now own quite a few Al Rehabs - Superman, Sultan, Sultan Al Oud, Dehn Al Oud among many others - and I have yet to find one I really dislike. Some are a bit dull, but nothing flat out offensive. Sultan Al Oud is borderline amazing. Dehn Al Oud is a bit on the barn-yardy side, so it's a bit challenging though not terrible -- but that's fodder for another review. As others have pointed out, Oudy does come out of the gate a bit like Sultan Al Oud, in that it's kind of a harmonious and clean take on oud that immediately draws you in for more. But, where Sultan Al Oud veers in the direction of a lovely spiced cedar/oud, this one goes in more of a well-harnessed floral/tobacco oud direction. The tobacco is more flower than leaf to my nose, and is almost imperceptible. The overall effect is a bit hard to describe, except to say it's very clean and inviting, kind of a "shower fresh" or "laundry sheet" oud, if that makes any sense. Oudy behaves politely, with moderate projection and sillage at most. Jury's out on longevity, but my instincts tell me this will give me a good 4-6 hours at arm's length or a bit less. I'm okay with that. Not a bad return for a $9 investment. I have a fairly huge collection, and I can honestly say that this will get worn. Al Rehab is legit.

After owning Oudy for a year or so, my impression of it has changed somewhat. First off, it is definitely much more polite than most Al Rehabs -- meaning, it emits more of a whisper than a scream. Which is more good than bad. But also, the way it opens up on the skin leaves me in disbelief about its note pyramid. The wood is less Oud than it is palo santo to my nose. Kind of similar to a certain facet of Penhaligon's Agarbathi in this way. I get a very slightly dirty/sweet vibe from it as well, which I suppose can be a combo of the costus and broom. No neroli, not much tobacco, unless it's tobacco flower. Very pleasant and easy to wear (and yes, somehow "shower fresh"), not at all what I would expect from either the name "Oudy" or the note pyramid. Overall, great value and something I can enjoy wearing just about any time. It's a win.

I'm surprised no one has picked up on the similarity with Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. They both share 2 prominent notes. This does not have the whiskey opening or the authentic pipe tobacco note but settles to more or less the same dry down. Longevity and sillage are poor. It is pretty much a skin scent from the moment you apply. This is a shame as the overall scent is quite enjoyable. The oil version is super rare. Ebay is the only place I can find a bottle for sale at £50 for a 6 ml bottle! At that price I would rather purchase a decant of Tobacco Oud! In regards to similarities with Black Afghano- there are little to none. They are both resinous, smokey scents but the similarities end there. I also own Sultan Al Oud and Oudy is much sharper in it's scent profile than Sultan Al Oud which is softer and muskier.

I think Oudy from Al-Rehab is nice and easy introduction to oud-fragrances for some people (I know they still exist!) who are not familiar with oud YET) Its linear and simple, apart of oud I smell wood, might be cedar, might be just "woody notes". Has light smoky vibe. Minus - less lasting as other Al-Rehabs on me, talking about spray here, might be that oil is stronger. Association - dark brown heavy curtains on the window, fireplace and Natacha Atlas is singing

Exactly what I was looking for: an oud-forward woody thing that conjures images of incense shops in Cairo. Alone, it's warm, vanillic, and smoky; layered, it can turn my green stuff into full forests. I've got it on with Kenzo Homme Boisee right now and 3 people have complimented it. Besides! It's $9 for 35 ml on al-Rashad! Amazing deal.

This is a seriously potent oud scent! The tobacco note adds a really nice smoky depth, and it's surprisingly sweet without being overly gourmand. Lasts forever too!

This is an absolute oud perfume, the EDP version is very light and has weak sillage and longevity.

Update: this has started giving me a headache. :/ terrible longevity on the skin, but stays in clothing FOREVER. In terms of scent it's alright, a bit too synthetic though.

A dark, resinous, synthetic skin scent that disappears within 2 hours. Still, better than you'd expect for $6, I guess.

you might need to let this mature after spraying a few sprays. this pairs well with something sweet, warm and vanilla.
