Burgundy Oud

This right here is what Carved Oud to Oud Wood is. Similar to Oud Maracuja, but in my opinion smoother and more refined. It is not as strong, but definitely more wearable. I love clean ouds, and passion fruit is one of my favorite fruity scents. I really like the opening of the jammy, yet tart blackcurrant (pretty close to passion fruit) with a hint of cardamom rounding it up. The Oud is present, it is a western oud, it never goes too animalistic, or barnyard fecal. The florals in it are airy, soft and fruity providing an even cleaner, and rounded up feeling to the oud. The leather providing soft smokiness and texture to the oud. It is an excellent fragrance (top 10 in my collection) As it drys down it reminds me of Eastern European black currant tea with a slice of lemon, and honey in it. So to me extra few point for nostalgia.

Well, well, well. Does this perfume bear a striking resemblance to a well established and famous fragrance? It certainly does. Atelier Materi's Burgundy Oud shares a striking resemblance to Maison Crivelli's Oud Maracuja, particularly in their opening notes and heart. The captivating passionfruit scent is prominent in both. However, Burgundy Oud surpasses Oud Maracuja in its dry down; I find Oud Maracuja's dry down to be overwhelmingly cloying, unlike the sustained beauty of Burgundy Oud. Therefore, I would recommend Burgundy Oud instead of Oud Maracuja despite it clearly being the influence. I rate it 10/10.

Rich, intense and demanding, this perfume is strong. If you work in an office, don’t use too much to avoid making people hate you. I love the smooth transition from the top notes to the middle and base notes. It’s a masterpiece. However, it’s not a safe buy. Test it first and be prepared for its intensity if you are at the beginning of oud perfume’s journey!

A very nice fruity oud. Definitely see the similarities to Oud Maracuja, but it's a bit less offensive? The first time I smelt it, it literally made me think "This is what the color burgundy would smell like". I don't know how to explain it but the name is just a perfect match.

For those who aren't fans of Ombre Nomade (myself included), this is a great substitute. It's just as potent but is far less smoky and harsh. The fruits and florals really balance out that smokiness that Ombre Nomade is lacking; Nomade just smells like wood and smoke to me
