Blue Oud

Blue Oud is a very beautiful fragrance. If you are not used to oud and musk it may take you a few wearings to understand. I fell in love with it right off the bat as I have been enjoying oud for many years now. Top: Cambodi oud - Smells of dried fruit. Heart: Blue Musk - This is most likely a synthetic but it does smell very nice and animalic. Base: Indian oud - This is traditionally distilled in copper stills, giving it that "barnyard" or animalic scent. There is no fecal scent here. Price: On the Arabian Oud US website (which is shipped from their store in New York City) the normal price is $400. I purchased Blue Oud from them during Ramadan (Eid) when everything on their website is discounted. I only paid $240. What you get for the price: Both a 100 ml EdP spray -the colored bottle shown at the top of the page AND a 24 ml perfume oil which is applied with a glass wand -the silver bottle shown at the top of the page. You are paying for both, thus the higher price. I tend to wear both versions together - two sprays of the EdP at the back of my neck and the oil applied at my pulse points using only one swipe on my wrist and then spread around from there. Longevity on my skin is over 12 hours and in my humble opinion can be worn year-round, cold weather or hot, day or night. I wear this for leisure, going out and while I am at work. Both men and women will enjoy this. Younger people that are used to wearing sweet and fresh fragrances may not enjoy it at first. 10/10

It took me a week to understand the simplicity of this perfume. So here is the conclusion: This is exclusively for Oud lovers otherwise you won’t understand how pure and well blended the indian oud is here. The first 10 minutes is too strong (will fill a room with 2 sprays) Then, it will settle down quickly. And here all the magic happens. As long as you are not moving you will be in a bubble of musk. Once you walk the Oud will be in charge again. Somehow they take turns according to your physical activity. Cautions: Never go more than 4 sprays. Spray on your clothes at least 10 minutes before wearing them. Atomiser is a lot and wide. It comes along with oud oil. Which you can mix with other perfumes not necessarily this one. If you could layer it perfectly. No its not work/school friendly. All seasons only night times. Rate: - Scent: purest oud ever 15 out of 10 - Longevity: 3 days on clothes 10/10 - Projection and silage: 20/10 i got people who said we knew you were here cuz of this. - Price: perfect with oil oud - gander: masculine Overall: 10/10 if you have other perfumes to use. You can’t depend on this only cuz can be overwhelming..

Okay I am about to make a very big and bold statement which is based on a personal experience I had with this scent. Statement: This is strongest perfume I have witnessed. This perfume outperformed the 3 KPIs ( Longevity, Projection & Sillage) Yesterday morning I met a colleague of mine at around 9 am, he was wearing something heavy and for some reason I thought he was wearing Black Afgano. Upon inquiry, he told me he was wearing blue oud by Arabian Oud. The perfume was screaming like a big bad monster and it overshadowed the fragrance I was wearing (I am a very heavy sprayer) Mid day we met again and I felt the same projection power. He was standing far from me and his perfume was overwhelming my nostrils. The sillage was amazing and this one stayed in the air for long time. Day end he was around and the perfume was still beast. That was around 5 pm and I was impressed (ordered it same day) This perfume is definitely not for people who prefer light scents. If you wear this, you will get noticed. You will be asked about it, you will be complimented and admired. He was wearing 4 sprays only !!

When it comes to raw oud perfumes, Saudi and Gulf brands have made significant strides, surpassing even their western perfumes companies. It's widely recognized that oud can be challenging and less appealing to many people. However, in the Gulf, oud is truly the essence and backbone of perfumes, embraced in every season and on all occasions. Over time, locals have grown accustomed to its rich aroma. I'm not asking others to use Oud like the Gulf people, but I'm explaining to the world how much we love the fragrance of Oud. Interestingly, the term "Blue Oud" comes from the unique blue color of the smoke produced when (certain high quality wood oud) burn. So for us (blue smoke) is a sign of quality oud. Additionally, this Arabian Oud (Blue Oud fragrance) stands out for its exceptional blend of Cambodian oud, which enjoys immense popularity, and the luxurious Indian Oud (Al Souyofi). This combination is similar to a car that combines the luxe of a Rolls-Royce with the vigor of a Lamborghini.

For oud lovers only, this is a serious and real oud fragrance. It opens with an absolute oud bomb. Just one or two sprays can easily fill a room. Whenever I start to go nose-blind after a few hours, I’ll step out for a coffee, and the moment I return, I’m greeted by that beautiful, warm oud sillage lingering in the air. This is animalic, barnyardy, dirty, and smoky, yet somehow incredibly refined, smooth, and classy. It’s oud dressed in a black suit and tie. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous going into this after a bad experience with real oud from another house. But from the very first spray, I was relieved, the opening here is far more palatable, and it only gets better with time. This fragrance has truly sparked my love for real oud, even though my wife isn’t exactly a fan (haha). It’s something I’ll wear in my private time just to enjoy for myself. Most people in the West probably aren’t ready for or wouldn’t appreciate this kind of beauty. Rating: 9.5/10 — unapologetic and addictive.

Real and pure Oud which is blended using 2 different Oudhs I believe but the opening smells like Cambodian Oudh and the dry down like a woody Indian Oudh. All the while it has a musk overtone lingering over it especially in the dry down, the Indian Oudh and Musk come through and you're just surrounded by a bubble of woody Oudh, and warm musk. Simple terms: Oud (pleasant woody not fecal) and musky. Lasts for ages and leaves a trail, however, it doesn't project well. Also, because this is real Oud, it changes completely over the next few hours as it interacts with your skin and the air, which is unlike any other fragrance I've ever used. It turns from dirty woody oud, to a smooth sweet pleasant wood with musk overtones, simple yet powerful and pleasant. Scent: 10/10 (Only for Oudh lovers) Projection: 6.5/10 Longevity: 8/10 (the oil lasts longer on skin and the spray longer on clothes)

I love this fragrance. Kind of cheesy in the open but nothing unbearable. Once it begins to settle and transition it is one of the most wonderful experiences with oud you can have especially when you layer the attar oil with the edp... Magical. However, they're just as enjoyable by themselves. It's a little dank, animalic, and woody but there are also smokey, sweet and powdery facets. Also, there's a clean aspect to it as weird as that sounds it may be coming from the musk. AND it garners compliments. Contrary to a belief out there that Oud isn't appealing. When its constructed right people are intrigued by what you're wearing and how it tends to seduce the senses. I may signature this in the winter. Something in the same realm of this a bit dialed back with incense would be Bvlgari's Onekh.

Finally it is listed here!!! First time I tried this was @ Kuwait airport 2012 I sprayed it on paper and asked the salesman about the price, I was shocked as it exceeds $400 So I put the paper in my passport, and it kept radiating for the whole day. After a month when I was giving my passport to the immigration officer I noticed the smell. 4 years later , I bought it from Arabian oud boutique in KL, and my first true experience was It wasn’t that long lasting! And I was wrong, it stayed on my clothes for weeks in a hot humid weather. And the silage was truly enormous (with 3 sprays & 1 swipe i went to a meeting & it filled the board room). The smell itself is very leathery but not fecal, so it must be worn in a cold environment.

This is the most addictive oud fragrance I own. I just can't get enough of it. The nose is very sensitive to musk, so you might think you're not smelling it as you ought to or wrongly conclude it isn't a strong fragrance...and you'll be totally wrong. I remember a time after a long day at work...10 hrs after I'd sprayed blue oud, I thought the fragrance has mellowed down completely, until I stopped at FedEx on my way home later that day, and the FedEx personnel said "your fragrance smell so good, and very potent." I told her I couldn't even smell it that much any more, but she said that's the fragrance I should wear every day for the rest of my life. . Blue oud is a 10/10 fragrance, it's just perfectly made. Highly Recommend!

This is my second review for this great perfume. Buying this oud perfume is an investment, because one bottle is enough for several years (if used for important occasions) and you will feel special. This fragrance has achieved a difficult equation: it is a true oud fragrance, but in spray form, not an oil. If you are an average (oud lover) or more, just buy it. Because no other options will fulfil your hunger and love for oud, no matter how much you have perfumes from (simi-oud), (westernised-oud), (fake-oud) perfumes. All are just ghosts for this man (Oud).

For real oud lovers - try it atleast once - it’s comforting and spiritual in a unique way. Ideal for winter evenings and blossoms on the skin. Like most Ouds, the first 15mins is challenging and then the fragrance matures on your skin and that’s when magic happens. I personally didn’t observe massive performance but it did create a nice scent bubble. Shukran Habibi!

For a more affordable, slightly less animalic, even better version of this: Try Arabian Oud's very own Special Oud (Oud Khas)—the square bottle, not the Majestic one. Thanks to the sales associate for letting me know. It’s literally like the Ombre Leather of Tuscan Leather—more affordable, cleaner version.

Average performance. I've tried it from different bottles and result was same. Money wasted. Update: After few months it's performance has improved quite a bit. It actually performs way better on clothes than skin. You can go with perfume oil on skin and perfume spray on clothes.

Very, very skanky, but if you're into oud, you'll really love it, especially the dry down, fills the room with just 1-2 sprays, so you have to be a bit careful in order not to choke on this beast. Can't wait to wear it in more places that require a noticeable presence.

If you don't like oud stay away, but if u do then u need it in your collection, In the package u get a big bottle of perfume and a small one of concentrated oil of it, u apply the oil under the ear then spray over it the perfume, stays for days and project like a beast

I logged in just to shut the comment below me from @lipstickzombie This is a wonderful oud. Amazing oud. Clean oud. Great value for me if you get it slightly discounted with the 12ml FULL TOLA of that pure oud oil. Not fecal, even though it's Indian oud.

Here is the list of notes for blue oud according to one of the arabian oud's international websites. TOP NOTES Bergamot, rose, patchouli HEART NOTES Sweet notes, woody notes, fruity notes, floral notes, oud BASE NOTES Woody notes, vanilla, musk, oud

If you're looking for real oud and real musk done right, look no further. Blue Oud is a no bullshit oud. It's ENORMOUS! The sillage and longevity are unbelievable. This one isn't for everyone, but if you like REAL oud, this is for you.

This is for oud lovers. An absolute beauty. Its clean and animalic at the the same time. A poopy fresh - if you will. One spray goes a long way, especially on clothes, like days on clothes. The smell is heavenly.

Arabian oud blue oud,simply the BEST perfume in the world. Its mostly indian oud. When spray at shirt it lasts 3 days. Its smell bring calm and happiness. Wear this to feel like the King of Arabia.
