Nectar Oud

I travelled to the UK for vacation and also visit my relatives, I love fragrances so I kept on coming to fragrance stores, especially niche stores, so one day I was at Harrods going through fragrances with my dad and one worker sprayed this fragrance on a tester and told me to try, right when I sniffed I was in shock, I looked at the worker with the shocked amazed face, this fragrance is so amazing, a very realistic raspeberry with an oud like I was so shocked and also Im not the type of person to like sweet or fruity fragrances or anything like that but this is amazing. All other reviews are just hating because this is really nice fragrance, even tho this is overpriced its very nice, imo this smells way more better than Oud Maracuja

Wore my sample today... Nectar Oud is a smooth westernized oud. Its not as punchy (loud and synthetic feeling) as Ombre Nomad or Oud Maracuja. Nor is it as anamalic as Rude Oud. There is a warm and sheer sweetness to it which lives up the the nectar namesake. The raspberry adds a fruity sweetness as well, it's not tart at all. Overall, this is a popular/common fruity-oud combo that is executed well. I can see my sample turning into a full bottle soon.

Wow so many trolls. Y'all have issues. This is fruity oud goodness and it's a powerhouse too. It is similar to Oud Maracuja IMO. Not dupes or anything but in the same scent family.

The bad thing about reviews are the trolls. People bashing a fragrance for some unknown reason. It's a reflection of the people posting the review, not the perfumer.

Smelt in Harrods today. This is a fruitier, almost passionfruit/Berry version of FDB Rude Oud. Very nice but you dont need both. I would choose this one over the 2, although the FDB probs has better performance.

It'starts from purple grape fruity scent, and then became mediocre oud...disappointing.

× The Oriental Oud Era: before 2000 Before this millennium started, in the world of perfumery, the Oud ingredient was the King of the Oriental Perfume Family, The original oud presence in perfumes was complex, strong, animalistic, funky and dirty in a masculine way. A symbol of power and greatness Even spirituality, because it has that depth, ancient vibes. × The Westernised Oud Era: after 2000 # The first stage: 2000 - 2010 I believe, M7 YSL 2002 started everything. But that stage provided real first-class blends, tamed oud in a way that amazed even Arabs and the Eastern countries, because oud kept its depth and woody characters, but with no less animalic skanky smells Another great example of this stage is Oud Wood by Tom Ford, 2007. > In the 1st stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud are: wood, spices, heavy citrus, and herbs.. Etc # The second stage: 2010 to 2020 During this stage, oud perfumes began to evolve into more unisex, delicate, romantic, or silky scents. Etc > In the 2nd stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with the oud: Rose, Saffron, and leather.. Etc > Good examples for this are: - Oud Ispahan Dior, 2012 - Oud Malaki Chopard, 2012 # The third stage, 2020 till today We are living in a time when oud is mixed with (jammy tropical fruits such as mango and passion fruit) The oud has become sticky, sweet, and you hardly distinguish the type of oud used (is it Indian or Cambodian... etc.) even in niche brands which should use original and natural ingredients as they sell at high prices > Good examples for this are: - God of Fire Stéphane Humbert Lucas, 2024 - Oud Cadenza Maison Crivelli, 2022 - Oud Maracujá Maison Crivelli, 2023 > In the 3rd stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with the oud: Red fruits, tropical fruits, and sweets such as caramel ===== Lament and Wish: "Now, for drama purposes, you need to imagine sad background music while reading the text below" Nowadays, we live in a time when the King of the Oriental Family has become just a jam in a jar. That poor king has been forced to change his gender under the pressure of trends and new moda. I pray this stage ends ASAP, and (The fourth stage) to revive the true spirit of oud,,, the deposed King of oriental perfumes. Regards

This is a lovely scent that revisit the classic Saffron Oud but with a nice addition of Raspberry that is quite prominent. This perfume contains real Oud from Laos, most probably in tiny quantities. The result is a non offensive classy perfume that is quite sexy. I'm taking my bottle with me on vacations Ha also from the review below. Ombre nomade and Oud Maracuja only have an oud accord. Nectar Oud has real Oud essence from Laos

I did not try this, but if you are comparing it to Rude Oud I have no hope. Rude Oud is just a simple mess in my opinion. So synthetic screechy saffron with woods. It smells like a bunch of notes got thrown in without any composition.

Reminds me heavily of Ombre Nomad, but with a raspberry note instead of rose. Not as unique as what I was expecting, but still very nice. Extremely potent, so be aware this only takes a few sprays to get the job done.

votes and numbers are clearly part of a boycott about BDK and his founder David Benedek.. I do not get it why people involve politics in everything..

Why are people trolling on the votes? This is not “very weak” it’s an extrait!
