Harrods Agarwood

This one has taken time to grow on me. Quite demanding oud, resinous and strong on a very dry patchouli note. Black tea is prominent, so is the nutmeg. It lasts forever and goes "under the skin" for days after just one spray. A very dark scent, not one for a hot summer day. What I particularly like is that it doesn ́t turn sweet at any time in the drydown. Reminds me slightly of that pure, moldy patchouli oil that hippies used to wear in the 70-ies, only far more sofisticated. The musty aspect may turn some people off, myself included, but I ́m getting to enjoy just that more and more. One wrote barnyard here, ok, but not like some skanky ouds, this is a lot "cleaner". And yes, it DOES numb the sense of smell! Very dry and musty, but a gem for lovers of dark and sinister frags. 8/10

Evil-dark, smokey oud, blackened and striking WOW. This fragrance embraces the darkest feeling in an oud, even compared to Kilians Oud's. I feel very grateful and lucky enough to receive this as a gift, and when I put it on I feel like it takes away a part of me, like a slow poison.. but after 5 minutes it hides in your skin as a bold, smokey-resin scent that's soft in texture, and warm. You have to appreciate Oud's for what they are and try it ON, so don't bother if you're just going to smell the bottle's atomizer and make an opinion. A real wicked one from Bond, definitely one to save up for and wear at anytime and any season in the evening.. to embrace the shade and shadow of this fragrance.

Sublime. I could smell this all day, and would, were it not so eye-wateringly expensive. This is a super dense, chewy, almost syrupy oud due to the amber in the base. It doesn't have any of that medicinal quality you might find in, say, a Montale. And as to be expected of an EDP with a prominent oud note, the longevity is ridiculous; easily two, maybe three days on your skin if you choose not to shower (gross). If you are a fan of the note, I HIGHLY recommend you hunt down a sample. I think Bond as a house is a little overrated, but they really knocked this one out of the park.

This is my favourite of all time. On me it smells cool, fresh, expensive and sophisticated. To be worn with a suit. The oud note smells cleaner and fresher than the likes of Tom Ford Oud Wood. This lasts for a very long time. Go easy. My partner can smell this on me in the morning after I've showered. Just sublime.

This is a heavy hitter. gatorNY is right on--wet wood and tea, but I would add, with the slightest touch of violet. I too am intrigued by oud and have several examples. I agree this if the best. Definately not for casual us.

Amazing juice!!!! Bonds best by far. On my top 5 for sure!! Picture M7 with a slightly more dark side. Matter of fact I just layered the two ...WOW

Accurate note breakdown. This stuff smells good! Just perfectly semi-sweet amberous, dank oud 🤤 — accord or otherwise — over damp patchouli and a really nice saffron note. Sandalwood bedding. Delicious nuance. Not your typical, stale agarwood. High quality dense scent that’s very wearable and durable.

good scent that comes and goes...different and nice..got good deal on 3.3 oz so happy with purchase

Hmmm... I found a 50ml bottle of this at about half the price so no complains with that. The opening is a heavy dose of an amber oud and almost like something bitter juicy which turns a bit 'barnyard' after a minute or so. Then the notes start coming together. It is the kind which leaves you hanging and a little stuck in the beginning and at this point I must admit that I lose my sense of smell trying to smell it more but I cannot really figure anything out. After 15 minutes in, I am getting some dense flowers, sandalwood and Oud and to be honest, I am having to smell really close to my wrists, like taking a real deep breath in because my sniff function gives up due to the heavy texture of the scent. Then all is lost on me. I cannot know how long it lasts because I lose my sense of smell. It doesn't as such give me a headache but it kind of sends a block signal inside my nostrils, hitting the sides and numbing them. This annoys me because I don't really want to draw in heaps of breath through my nose to get a whiff. It ruins the experience for me. It should lift off the skin in order to be smelt properly and this on me doesn't. It does smell good from what I can smell. It is like someone dropped a blob of fragrant stuff on my wrist and it took a minute or so to clear and then dissipated in 15 minutes because it was too thick to even evaporate quickly. Again I would say may be it is my nose but then again why blame my poor nose? My other senses work just great so either I have a fake perfume or this fragrance just climbs in my nose and just sits there blocking the way. I am not totally disappointed yet because it needs to be tried a bit more I think. Maybe it would be better tried in a relaxed state of mind...

Yesss!! When i say oud i mean this! Very middle eastern and resinous. It is a very dark lush expensive oud scent. Not for the faint hearted, be ready to turn heads. I do get saffron a little but and patchouli also some tea but oh the oud! I remember when i would go to middle eastern weddings when i was a child and there would always be that lady that is classy and has gone far in her carreer and life and smells like it. She would spend a fortune for her oud wood incense and would spend about half an hour burninf that oud and layering her fragrance, this smells like that lady. It would be amazing if it was layers with oud oil or oud insence for like a very special night when you want people to notice you. warning: if you prefer your perfume sweet and floral and close of the skin, run far far away from this. I was lucky that i found a bottle with 70% off on harrods website for boxing day and bought it blindly. Oh im so glad i did.

Someone asked me to compare it to the Harrods Oud Pacthouli, and my instant response was less FLORAL, more ANIMAL. I get an instant zesty opening.. maybe the tea and then wet wood with the most feral notes...this is the most dangerous, risky part and may turn some people off. After a while, that aspect fades into an exquisite smokey oud...that is somehow very dressy and formal, yet also comfortable like a flannel shirt and a fire in a cabin in the woods. It's easily my favorite of ALL the OUD offerings...and between me and my husband, we have TF Oud Wood, Acqua di Parma's Oud, Le Labo Oud 27, NY OUD, Harrods OUD (HSLE), Harrods Oud Patchouli and Signature. So hot and sexy...I really need a cold shower after spraying this on!

I go this on ebay auction for a good price. For me it is nothing special because this scent is what we usually get from the local makers in the Middle East. As for the smell I really get the oud and tea. I can tell you the quailty of the oud is excellent and I guess that explains the price tag. I find the perfume suitable for women more than men because there is something sweet about it that I didnt like. I heard some reviews talking about plastic smell. I'm not getting it and I dont know what they are talking about !! Upate: June 16. I'm addicted to this fragrance and it keeps growing on me day by day. It stays around me all day. Im in love !!

One of the most amazing fragrances I've ever smelled. Dark, brooding, sensual, and stunning. Masterful composition.
