Rosewood

I recognized it was time to replace one of my signature vanilla-floral-woody-scent, Gold Couture by Juicy Couture with a more mature one. When I was in Dubai, I went searching for an Arabian fragrance and came across this magic in a bottle. It has the elegance of Arabian perfumes but is not too intimidating because the agarwood is soft yet easily detectable. It's cozy, sweet, and extremely alluring, especially for women. It has all my favorite accords in perfume and more. I have been looking for a fragrance with vanilla, musk, and floral accords in Western perfumes but found none as rich and unique smelling as Rosewood. Gold Couture is still special to me, and I will still be wearing it during the day, but I am so happy to have found this! It's addictiveness, silage, and longevity were worth the price. As someone else also mentioned, Arabian Oud deserves more popularity but I’m glad it's a niche so I can gatekeep this scent.

Super underrated Arab house — my first ever niche frag. I would describe this as a soft oud with heavier rose and vanilla notes. Crowd pleaser and beast performer. I get the most compliments whenever I wear this frag with other frags (mostly designer) and people tell me they can smell me the moment I step into a room. I would describe my philosophy as Tom Ford-style overspraying with super strong Middle East frags (15 sprays, thereabouts), and this doesn't get cloying because of how balanced it is. I've layered it with so many frags, but the one that got the most attention was with Replica By The Fireplace (smokey, sweet, and a lil gourmand). Ride or die but I hope this doesn't get popular as I wanna gatekeep it for how good it is

This is one of the top unique fragrances in my small collection starting from the scent to the great performance and the ultra chic packaging as well It’s slightly overwhelming but I absolutely love it.. you can smell clearly every note in this perfume and the best thing ever is that the woody notes (oud) are subtle and in the background but still noticeable.. the most dominant is rose and vanilla.. it’s definately a gourmand scent and not for every day and preferably in winter because it’s on the heavy side for sure.. I initially bought it as a gift for my husband but I ended up using it on myself because he thought it’s too feminine for his taste and actually he’s quite right

This one's quite lovely and can make a great signature scent. Unlike many of the bold, daring oud fragrances out there, the oud in Rosewood is quite mild and not too dominant. It blends perfectly with the vanilla and rose (dominant notes) for sure. I always recommend this scent for first-time oud wearers. I love how this scent has that Middle Eastern oriental touch, yet is likable to everyone. It can literally be used in any situation. It's an easy compliment getter. Not to mention, it lasts for ages, probably the longest lasting fragrance in my collection. That being said, it's a solid 'like' for me. EDIT: Rosewood has a resemblance to Intense Cafe by Montale

IYKYK ROSEWOOD (RW) is and forever will be an OG. A true classic. Now, my 2 cents - it's even better as a layer. Add RW any stronger Oud (as light as RW is, it still has oud in it), and it will calm it down, blend, and actually boost the longevity - try it. If you ever wanted to add a small touch of rose and a small touch of oud to another fragrance you have - this is literally - the best fragrance to layer with. On it's own: Scent: 9 Quality: 9.5 Projection: 9 Sillage: 9 Longevity: 9 As a layer, with the right partner(s): 10 Worth buying: 10
