Om

This is supposed to be a meditative mind cleansing frankincense and oud perfume and that's exactly what you get. A couple of different Thai ouds were used and I'm no expert but it's not the floral oud you might expect from the region. It's more earthy with a touch of sweetness. What sets this apart from other oud fragrances is the use of spikenard and ginger which really kind of give Om its signature character to me. Spikenard is a slightly odd herbal note and has ties to the past and makes perfect sense using it here. Ginger gives it this bite (along with pink pepper) that helps it really get up into my nostrils and deep into my brain. And I think that's what this fragrance was meant to do. Blast you right from the from the start and totally reset your mood. Not because it's dark and brooding, which it is not. But because it's like a medicine for the soul. Of course there is also white ambergris in here because that is one of the perfumers signature notes he likes to use. I happen to love real ambergris. Very happy to have bought this one and see myself wearing it often.

Got this recently in a swap. Heavy fruity profile thai oud over clean and smokey frankincense. I have lots of Thai oils in my collection and this is a perfect use of it in a fragrance almost like Trat having that sour and red berry smell to my nose maybe hints of citrus. I don't get any barnyard like people mention below even in the slightest. The animalics from the civet and white ambergris really lift this up. The pink pepper and ginger give a nice effervescence before heading into darker territory. The frankincense though smokey is still very clean and smells almost like your burning some oud with some frankincense on top. The other notes are blended so well I can't discern them though I do get little bits of the juniper. A pleasant surprise and olfactory delight makes me want to try more of the house. If you wanna smell like a mid century cathedral with some heady notes, this is it. Really unique and welcome addition to my collection.

Opens sharp and a bit astringent. A beautiful oud right away with facets of sharp clean cedar, mixed spices, a small touch of something herbal and sweet, and fresh frankincense. It slowly settles into a patchouli + resionus amber + oud frame with some sparking musk humming below and a tart-sweet berry/plum fruitiness. The incense accord keeps things airy. This base feels very close to Amouage's Jubilation XXV (and to a lesser extent Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir), but stickier, less airy, woodier, and a bit more resinous. I don't detect the beautiful huge ISO E super lift the Amouage seems to have. This is slightly softer, rougher around the edges, and longer-lasting. Love it!

I sampled this when it first came out and I really liked it, but I did think it was very masculine. Very earthy, smoky, herbal, dry spicy and lots of barnyard oud. This is also very strong, and you only need a little to go a long way and it lasts. If you like very natural fragrances w/ animalic oud, smoke, and dried herbs this is a good buy. I gave my sample to my brother, and he really enjoyed it. He was recovering from COVID at the time and lost his sense of smell for a few months. This was one of the natural perfumes I gave him to wake up his nose and it helped. Over time it came back, and he was impressed at how strong this was and said he got a lot of wear out of the sample I gave him.

A beautiful smoldering scent of frankincense, with a tenacious luscious red fruit oud, opens spikenard leathery, crisp and peppery ginger and takes flight with balsamic whiffs of juniper, lavender, chamomile, and fresh marine ones of ambergris. Sweet resinous, spicy, dense fruity, with an exciting floral side of lavender and addictive throughout the evolution and drydown. Well done!
