Diwan

This fragrance opens with a gorgeous green apple accord wrapped in a rich, luxurious shaving cream vibe, created by the seamless combination of cardamom and bergamot. As it develops, a dense, clean musk emerges and envelops the entire composition. Patchouli follows shortly behind, adding a refined earthy character that remains fresh rather than dirty. A subtle touch of vanilla sits alongside it, softening the edges and providing just the right amount of warmth. The result is a beautifully layered fragrance and one of the best examples of a modern masculine musk scent. Everything feels balanced, smooth, and thoughtfully blended. Performance is equally impressive, delivering a solid 7–8 hours on my skin, which is excellent for a fragrance that leans fresh. Rating: 9.0/10

Wow. Seriously wow. This isn’t anything revolutionary but it just does what it does the best and theres not even a close second place to it. I love fragrances like this, I own so many of them. In the same realm just with different notes is Essential Parfums - Bois Imperial, MFK - Gentle Fluidity, or Speed Legends - Ex nahilo. It’s fresh, floral, Musky. Incredible type of musk. The most beautiful potent musk there is. Linear but probably the most opulent signature scent option there is. Next level quality juice in performance. Where you would expect a $500 frag to be at but they never are. Thank you Arabian Oud, y’all killed it.

To my nose this smells like a very luxurious shaving cream in the best way possible, also i go noseblind to this and Sultani fairy quick for some reason. Edit: i have been testing this for a couple of days and longevity is very impressive, i get 8-12 hours with moderate projection for 5-6 hours. On clothes it lasts for days. Overall after testing many fragrances i feel like Diwan is simply the best masculine fragrance i have come across. I also do prefer it over Sultani from the same house but only by a bit. 10/10

Very masculine cologne right here. It smells like if a vibrating metal magnet had a smell. Its kinda similar to Bond 09 Laffayette street and PDM pegasus with that sharp vanilla, green apple type scent but less sweet The cardamom, musk and wood is really apparent here in the background. I think it’s the best version of a fresh clean masculine metallic scent that I've smelled. Can be synthetic smelling to some so its not for everyone, but i really love it. Complex, masculine clean smell.

This is a wonderful summery crisp and distinguished fragrance. I like the introduction of apple and nutmeg. Yet it has a woody and spicy scent at the drydown. It really lasts long on the skin and even longer if it lands on your shirt. I thought it was overpriced but you can get it cheaper from on-line outlets. Careful about over spraying though, as too much could be nauseating. No more than 3 squirts. Arabian Oud really nailed this one. Top marks! Rating: 9.5/10

I visited the Arabian Oud Store while in NYC with my girlfriend because i wanted to try out some of the fragrances in their lineup such as Amiri and Resala. I liked both of those but then the gentleman in the store sprayed Diwan on a tester strip and i was blown away. I then sprayed on skin and it was amazing! Musky yes but the green apple is so prominent on my skin. An absolute banger that i had to find it and get it. 🙏🏼

This is excellent. I was lucky enough to be able to try much of the Arabian Oud range recently on a trip to England. Diwan was by far my favourite. Ok, Madawi Gold was a bit better but is £250! It is an amazing woody aromatic fragrance that lasts a long time. It is about as heavy a fragrance I can get away with in the spring/summer. Bergamot and Apple with Vanilla and Patchouli. Can be found on sale for under $100/100ml.

On our Dubai trip, we stopped by Arabian Oud stores, my wife chose Madawi (amazing), and I ended up with Diwan. Ended up liking it more than Amiri or Resala, because of the great spicy notes that I liked. Performance is as expected from Arabian Oud, no need to spray much, and it keeps going and going. One of the less flashy designed bottles from AO, but in this case, it is inside what counts..

I love the scent; it's fresh with a subtle hint of spice. To my nose, the scent is so subtle that it's almost undetectable with just a small amount. I have to spray a lot to get it to my nose. The performance is also too weak for me. But again, I love this type of scent; it's refreshing and pleasant, with a masculine feel.

If you like Sultani over Speed Legends, Midnight Glow over Bois Imperial, then this is your Lafayette Street with arabic twist! Give it a wear or two, and you will not be disappointed. Such an underrated fragrance and great value for money. I paid around $90 for this 100ml niche-smelling fragrance with a lot of depth.

Simply, Diwan is the best from the House of Arabian Oud. So elegant. the mix of cardamom, bergamot, cashmere and musk is very nice. Smells so silky. It’s a long lasting scent with moderate projection. Price in USA is ridiculous compared to UAE and Saudi Arabia. 8/10 👌 because of the price.

This stuff is absolutely amazing...another gatekeeper for me. Not sure why they don’t have Arabian Oud Ramz listed on this website. Anyways, Diwan is a very clean scent with excellent longevity, projection and Sillage. I’ll always have a bottle of this, Sultani and Ramz by Arabian Oud

The 200 ML bottles that were released briefly got sold out so fast and they never returned. Now I feel like I bought a fake one because a lot of people don’t even know about that bottle size. Everybody has the hundred ML but I bought the 200 ML from a trusted place.

Diwan is bright dareing frag. Arabian oud classifieds it as unisex, which I disagree. It reminds me of fahrenheit cologne. I do strongly recommend it for spring and summer. Office and outdoor scent. 5 out 5. It's on 50 percent discount. Totally worth it.

Gorgeous! Nutmeg and Cardamom in a fresh background. I would rate this slightly lower than Sultani, but recommend both. Worth having in the collection. Masculine and Office Friendly. Versatile but does work very well in summers too. Shukran Habibi!

This perfume is a delicate dance between a warm mix of cardamom and nutmeg and the opulent musk and cashmere base. The apple and musk lend some freshness to it, but it is more comforting than invigorating. Stunning

I get so many compliments when wearing this, its a great all around fragrance and can be worn whenever, but a small minority of people say it smells like vodka on the opening. 8.5/10 I recommend it

Really really gorgeous and high quality! Starts seemingly soft and airy but starts developing over time. Lasts forever. Also, i don t usually care fox boxes but the packaging is amazing

Great longevity & projection. Great all year round. Sophisticated. 200ml bottle at discount is the go-to. I think no Saudi is not gonna love this fragrance. Best at formal occasions.

The smell Is gorgeous, refreshing and even intoxicating. Cardamom note is incredibly pure, the fragrance scent is of supreme quality. Long lasting and great performance. 10/10.

Es como imaginaría que huele una barbería de alta clase en el medio oriente. Refinado y clásico con toques especiados.

i can't say more than two things about this , versatile and beautiful scent

I recently bought a 200ml bottle and wore it for about a week. My understanding is the 200ml bottle format is a fairly new thing for Arabian Oud fresh fragrances. I'm not sure if my bottle was new but the performance wasn't there. Molecular or not, my Dior Homme 2020 Edt (a modern ISO E bomb) outperformed this scent. I think the quality is there but this scent gave me a scent bubble for an hour and was a skin scent for the next 4-5 hours. It lasted as a faint scent on my shirt for 6-8 hours. I enjoyed the scent profile though. This house puzzles me, and the Arabian Oud comment section on Fragrantica is split down the middle. Some claim even their darker scents have poor to moderate performance at best. While others swear up and down that everything is Beastmode, period. I found some scents from Arabian Oud that I enjoy and a few gems. I have yet to find anything near beast mode. Sultani was a love and performed great but my recently purchased bottle from 9/2024 has mild performance with 3-5 hour longevity. Diwan is an 8.5/10 for me scent-wise but I returned my bottle because I couldn't justify spending $220 for the lack of performance. Overall, I would recommend sampling to see how it works for you.

It was nice to experience the New York store as it’s almost identical to the London (Oxford Street) store with equally as good customer service. I decided to wear Diwan on a very hot New York afternoon as it seemed lighter and more wearable. It was described as a “deep” scent but myself and my partner both couldn’t detect too much coming from the strip. On my skin it’s aromatic and very light like a hairspray type scent. Longevity is good but the scent is rather aloof. This is the least descriptive review I’ve ever written but it’s a gentle transparent phantom of a fragrance, which could be perfect for that unobtrusive scent. It’s a unisex, aromatic, hairspray-style scent.

Have Sultani, Amiri and Diwan. Diwan is a lighter scent, and smells citrusy, airy and somewhat floral on initial sprays. On drydown, it starts to lose me as a musky powdery scent is the main driver. I'm not a fan of overly powdery musks and that's where Diwan parts from a good fragrance for me to something I doubt I would wear often. The musky, powdery drydown reminds me of the powdery drydown of Galloway by PDM, which I similarly don't care for. Packaging is nice, and if you enjoy light scents with musky powdery baselines, you would probably like Diwan. As for me, I will stick with Sultani and Amiri as freshies from this house.

This one opens fast out the gates, but settles into a more familiar pace as the scent goes on. The top notes of bitty nutmeg, aromatic Cardamon and some juicy apple is delightfully distinctive, setting you up for what should be a totally unique olfactory experience, but the dry down becomes a more mundane musky, mature, masculine scent. It's a good fregrance with solid performance, that smells like the inside of a refined gentleman's car.

It has a very attractive masculine profile with spicy and musky notes. I own Sultani, and in my opinion, they belong to a very similar fragrance family. Compared to Sultani, Diwan is a bit sharper and feels more suitable for year-round wear. However, I don’t think there’s any need to own both. If I had to choose between them, I’d definitely pick Sultani—it’s much smoother and more refined.

I'm getting stronger notes of musk and ambergris than nutmeg, although I wish it were the opposite. I also get a slight synthetic vibe. I'm enjoying my sample but not full bottle worthy.

عطر جميل جدا اكثر من رائع يصلح لكل الأوقات ثبات وفوحان جيد جدا من اجمل عطور العربيه للعود

I own Amiri and have now tried Diwan. I much prefer Amiri. They share several similar notes, almost as though they start with the same base forumla, but I feel as if Amiri is a smoother, sweeter take on that base, which suits me much more than Diwan. Diwan is much muskier, and much more woody. Amiri has those same exact aspects, but where they are the star of Diwan, in Amiri they play in the background, and sweeter notes are sprinkled on top elevating the fragrance in a way that isn't present in Diwan. I would recommend trying both, as I'm sure people will prefer one to the other, but in my opinion Amiri is a far superior fragrance for the price compared to Diwan. Diwan is a little too simple and ordinary in comparison.

I had high hopes for this one, however, there is something about it that does not sit right with me. Some note that did not make me comfortable. Given the price I expected much better quality & more refined scent. Longevity is 6-8 hours with soft projection.

it’s reformulated and became weaker also the scent itself changed, my old bottle was way better than the new release العطر تغير ريحته اصبحت غير اول باتش منه

Taksim de mağazalarına girdiğim, ilgisiz ve bilgisiz tavırları sebebiyle cikip gittiğim mağazaya tercihlerine güvendiğim bir arkadaşımın Amiri yı ısrarla önermesi üzerine tekrar gittim. Neyse ki bu sefer güler yüzlü ve sohbet edilebilen bir arkadaş vardı. Amiri ellerinde yoktu. Bu arada bu ziyaret 3 ay önceydi ve parfum halen yok. Söylediklerine göre geldiği gibi bitiyormuş. Şimdi daha çok merak ediyorum. Marka oldukça yaygın . 30 un üstünde ulkede mağazaları var. Ambalaj ve şişelerin BAE markalarından farki yok. Ultra gösterişli ama kalite hissi yok. Parfümlerin hiçbiri markayı taşımıyor. Hepsi kafasına gore baska havalarda...:-) Logoları ise birçok başka logo ya ve ykb sinin sembol heykeline Ilhan Koman'ın eserine benziyor. Mağazaları buyuk ama son derece kötü tasarlanmış.. Bir ayrım, düzenleme yok. Parfumlere ilişkin bir aciklama yada yaklasim yok. Berbat kısacası. Amiri olmadığı için bana o alana yakin 2 parfüm önerdi. Diwan ve Sultanı. Mağazada başka parfumlerde kokladığım için kafam karisti ve sonra denerim diyerek ikisini de aldim. Markanın BAE markalarindan en buyuk farki ise kendi tasarımını yapmis olmaları. Yani replika yada taklit peşinde değiller. Bu harika. Ayrıca kokladığım parfümlerini buyuk bir bölümünde kalite hissi yuksekti. Yani esans ve harman iyi. Diwan fresh tarafı kuvvetli ama bunun icin turunçhillerden destek almamış bir parfüm. Tam kararında olmus. Yani sanki misk ve parchouli biraz fazla olsa fresh alanından çıkacak. Bariz bir erkek parfümü bence. Temiz tarafi fresh tarafından daha baskın olan bir parfüm. Kalıcılığı oylamalarda göründüğü gibi yuksek degil. Ortalama bir güce sahip. Koku dağılımı ise zayıf. Belki soğuk havalarda sesi biraz daha yuksek çıkabilir. Şişesi diger parfumlere gore daha derli toplu ve sade. Motor yat şeklinde parfum şişeleri oldugunu düşünürseniz bunun ne derece sade oldugunu anlarsınız. Parfume yakışmış. 40 ve üstü kenti profesyoneller icin yaz ayları disinda iyi bir seçenek. BAE parfumleri kasar ucuz değiller onun icin indirimleri takip etmek lazim. Bazi parfumleri ise gereksiz pahalı ve o rakamları hak etmeyen düzeyde.

Anyone go nose blind to this. Just got a bottle of diwan. Love the smell. Today is my first wearing of it. I hit 11 sprays at 630 am. One each wrist and elbows. One on the sides and back of neck. Two on front of my shirt and two on the back. I've already had to re up around 12. My wrists are literally barely traceable. Hopefully maceration will help. But doesn't seem to be as strong with longevity as some are claiming it to be. Clothes I still smell decent. I'm gonna rock it the rest of the week so we will see. Today I got zero compliments wearing it. And I was around a bunch of people. Side note. My most complimented cologne at the moment is essential parfumes bois imperial. Every wearing I get at least 2-3.

Was able to sample this at an Arabian Oud store today and man it kicks ass. The opening it was fresh and super clean, the bergamot really shines through but as it dries down it started to remind me of another scent, something I own. After smelling my wrists for the next two hours it clicked, Ferragamo uomo signature. Now the Arabian Oud is definitely smoother, classier, and fresher but they both give off a bit of that fuzzy Dr Pepper vibe as they start to dry down. They're definitely not the same scent, but they definitely do share similarities. Next time I get the chance to visit one of their stores I think I'm gonna have to jump on it.

Diwan is such an enjoyable fragrance that really shines in the heat. It has a spicy, fruity opening that is so good and well-balanced. It is in the mid-phase that you'd experience its airy and woody facet, thanks to Kashmir oud, which is not so loud and heavy. The drydown is musky with some slight sweetness of vanilla and earthiness of patchouli. Overall, the fragrance is of high quality and manages to maintain its freshness even after more than 8hrs! Yes! Longevity, sillage and projection are insane so be careful with the sprayer! Also, the bottle and the presentation are top-grade, no doubt!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

This smells great! When I smell it I’m reminded of Bois imperial for some weird reason but minus the akigalawood and add cashmere wood instead. Also add in a very, very faint green apple which then brings about a slight comparison to Alexandria II. A very likeable, fresh and woody scent That pretty much sums this up. Highly versatile, easy going and performance seems quite good, better on clothing than skin.

Great opening, fresh airy citrus. Dries down to a pleasant generic clean scent. It would be a great year round signature scent, if not for a gross metallic note. Can't place exactly what it is; I smell the same thing in Luminous Night. While I can forgive it in LN, I cannot in this one, because the other accompanying notes in this aren't strong enough to mask it.

It is a very strong fragrance in a good way, the projection and sillage are very good, it lasts more than 10 hours. smells good too, heavy dose of cardamom but you will like it, blended with musk and patchouli. what I really like is it almost remains the same from the first sniff till it sticks on the skin after 10 hours. I recommend it.

If you like nutmeg. Go for this. Eventhough its not a nutmeg bomb, you can smell it consistently . If you have Nishane Tero. Then the nutmeg is there just Tero is alot prominent in its Nutmeg and plus Salted Caramel Aka Gourmand, while Diwan is spicy frag. I thought initially i would like it, but the nutmeg just indiced headache!

I bought 200ml of this but ended up selling it. If you like the scent then the performance is absolutely outstanding. I paid £88 for 200ml in Saudi Arabia, it's a steal for that price but not sure it's worth it in the UK based on the massive mark ups I've seen.

I have a 100ml bottle for sale in the UK, complete with the original box. It's only been sprayed twice to test, so it's basically full. I also have proof of purchase from Arabian Oud. Drop me a DM if you're interested.

على سعره جيد ثبات ممتاز وفوحان لكن الرائحة والجودة مو زي القديم منه مدري العيب فيني ولا في العطر لكن اشوفه عطر استهلاكي و جميل لكن مع تنازلات في الجودة و تفاصيل الرائحة وعمق الرائحة

It’s ok.. good freshie not worth the $$ they ask for but if you find it for $60-70 grab it tons of other better options in the market the nutmeg here is not for everyone

Apartmanın merdivenlerinden inerken, tanıdığım bir şirketin bayan müdürü bana hitaben “Bu parfümün adını isterim” demişti, ben de “Arabian Oud’un “Diwan”ı demiştim.

The note listing appears incorrect here. On Arabian Ouds website it lists Kashmir oud, not cashmere wood. Are these meant to be the same? I hope it's oud.

Thought this was a very refined lavander scent. Couldn’t have been more wrong looking at the actual pyramid. Office safe, elegant and fresh.

Great fragrance, but it’s something sharp and citrus that’s off putting to me. I’m it sure what it is

Fantastic frangrace. Spicy with Nutmeg and Cardamom in a fresh background. Great performance.

I like it but performance is not good. Alexandria ii dna
