Lamasat Oud

I just got a couple of bottles and holy smokes I can't believe what this stuff is. It is remarkably like oud wood, but SOOO much better. Here's why. Even older, superior batches of Oud Wood still stay flat and pretty much have that heavy muddy smell throughout its life. It's a pretty linear one to me. If you've smelled Woody Oud you know what I mean. The original is higher quality, sure, but they are both monotone broken records of the same funky aroma. This stuff departs by keeping the same distinctive DNA, but as it dries, it becomes the perfect mix of cedar and BOOM! Your brain will connect those scents and FINALLY Oud Wood starts to actually smell woody, not like a crazy fungus from under a rock in Mississippi. I'm not praising it just because it changes and develops, but because it is deeper and more satisfying, makes sense and makes you want more. I don't care if it's just a bomb of iso e super dropped on Oud Wood. I haven't heard that, it's just a hunch, but even if that's the case, it is brilliant and does the job that needed doing badly. I've tried putting some Molecule 01 under it to boost that effect and I like it a lot. To me this has to be the best departure from Oud Wood yet, granted I haven't tried Carved Oud, only Crafted Oud (and others), but as I understand it's departure is more floral as in Crafted, I feel like the Lamasat approach is more apropos and masculine and attractive in a huge way. You have to try them all to really get it, but I don't like the blue floral direction of those scents. It doesn't make sense to me as much or smell that great compared to this take. Lamasat is absolute genius and saved this DNA for me. I know a lot of women also love oud wood, but I never really understood it, so didn't really rock it. I'll be rockin this juice though, that's for damn sure. For this price you can't go wrong. Anyone with an interest in Oud Wood from any direction would do well to buy themselves at least a bottle if not several, lest it gets changed or poofs altogether. Oh, and screw Tom Ford's house for ruining that fragrance. Greedy fart-sniffers. ADD: By the way, the bottle and atomizer on this thing are insane. Heavy-duty bottle that looks cool, pressurized atomizer like Sauvage, and cap fits nice and tight. The whole package you get with this scent is way above that of any clone fragrance I've ever seen in my life. Support these people. This kind of work should be rewarded big time.

You’re here for a OW comparison. As many have said, it is closer to Carved Oud but unless you absolutely must have an Oud Wood clone then getting the best Thameen clone on the market should do. This is seriously impressive and by far the best out of Oud Wonder, Woody Oud and Mojo No.10 for quality of ingredients. Woody Oud and Mojo may have the best performance but they’re too synthetic and in the air around my partner I can tell something is off. That’s not the case with this. It smells literally identical to CO. It is slightly more spicy and less earthy in the opening but it’s such a minor detail. Performance is better than CO and the scent follows the same journey with a musky woody dry down that smells stunning. Compared to OW, it’s less fresh and you don’t get that heavy rosewood/cardamom pop. The accord is there as it’s essential to the DNA but it’s just more subtle and refined as CO is. If you’re after the perfect, non synthetic powerhouse OW 1 to 1 clone then you may be disappointed if you already find carved oud too different. If you love Carved Oud and don’t want to spend £250 then you need to get this. It’s utterly unmatched at this price point. P.s. the atomizer is pressurised just as the CO atomizer is. You really are getting a premium experience with this bottle. Pray it never gets discontinued!!!!

This is one is an absolute gem and a real sleeper, I'm shocked more people aren't aware of its existence. This fragrance fixes several of the problems of Oud Wood, but primarily the performance and the price. I wouldn't think twice about this being actually Oud Wood if someone told me that's what they were wearing. The performance is excellent at solid 8 hours, almost double OW's performance. There's a hint of Encre Noire A'la Extreme underneath, that shines through in the dry down and adds even more depth to it. Like Oud Wood and EN had a baby in the best possible way. You can find this for around $55 on a few US retail sites if you do some looking. I instantly bought a backup. This would make a great signature for any man or women, although I think it's better suited for colder weather. It does lean masculine for sure, but I could see a confident women pulling this off easily. Beautiful fragrance 9/10

Lamasat Oud Borouj is an elegant, dark, lightly pungent (in a good way), and mysterious woody fragrance. It immediately reminds me of Oud Wood by Tom Ford and Versace Oud Noir, sitting somewhere between the two while maintaining its own unique character. The fragrance is refined and smooth, offering a deep, captivating oud experience without feeling heavy or overwhelming. Considering its price, the quality is impressive. It could easily be paired with the fragrances mentioned, making it a great choice for anyone who enjoys this scent profile, myself included. In terms of longevity and projection, it is moderate to strong. Four to five sprays and you will definitely get noticed by those around you.

I always love the Oud Wood's DNA. Well for a fraction of a price, you're gonna get an almost identical scent with TF Oud Wood.. well there will be differences, but as you may know what I like about Lamasat Oud: 1. The bottle, box presentation and the Sprayer (New Mancera's /Dior Sauvage's hold-able type) are amazing. 2. Borouj as always, uses high quality material for the scent profile. Objectively speaking, it is not as high quality as the TF Oud Wood, but from what I smell, it is already high quality enough for the price. 3. For the SPL, I guarantee that this is far better than TF Oud Wood Objectively speaking, it is scored 9.5/10 (if price also calculated in the scoring)
