Another Oud

I wanted to know what Oud smelled like. Based on reviews from this website, Juliette Has a Gun Another Oud, sounded modern, accessable, and a travel size was fairly inexpensive, so this was the scent I chose. I am unsure why people need a "Starter Oud" fragrance. It makes the ingredient sound terrifying. Like too much oud will send you into the throws of madness!! Mwhahahahahahaha! But many here said this was a good "starter oud", so this was another reason why I chose Another Oud. I excitedly sprayed this on a card, terrified to spray it on my skin. I just couldn't wait to find out what this rare Agarwood tree sap smelled like! It smelled like... tree sap. My father was a lumberjack and he would come home with something he called "tree gum" that you could chew and it made your breath smell like trees. It was some type of gummy tree sap, and that is what this smelled like on a card. I really didn't know what all the fuss was about. Fearless, I sprayed this on my arm, and it was just... beautiful. Warm, smooth, creamy, a hint of spicy...just a lovely magical, almost masculine, scent. I did not get raspberries at first, but I do get a hint of sweetness in the dry down. I love this magical scent. I love to wear it to bed. I love to spray it under gourmand fragrances, and under deep berry scents. I ordered a full bottle. And now that I know what Oud smells like (with my sanity intact) I can pick up that fragrance note in my Delina Exclusif. I immediately searched for some other affordable oud fragrances. I ordered a 9ml of Jo Malone's Velvet Rose and Oud, and a full size of Montale Honey Aoud...again being cautious, so as not to delve into MADNESS! I cannot wait to find out what oud with roses smells like, and what oud with honey and cinnamon smells like. I'm assuming, since I started with this fabulous synthetic "starter oud", that I will survive the experience... Wait...aren't all perfume notes synthetic?

I was very surprised by this fragrance and I'm glad I tried this one of this house first. Given the reviews, I was a bit skeptical or rather on guard and anticipating not enjoying it (unwise, I know). I love Oud and have smelled a few amazing ones. But when I spritzed this it was an instant love and I don't know why! I am not a fan of raspberry because I feel I over did raspberry or rather the 90's overdid raspberry(BBW). But this just smelled great to me. The entire composition is delicate in my opinion and makes for a great introduction to Oud in general. I definitely recommend trying this if you are leery of launching into a full blown barnyardy/and or medicinal/bandaidish Oud. I feel the Ambroxan is really gorgeous in this and it really softens the Oud that is there. I find this super light, sexy and warm. Like a warm, promising, breeze. This is really great for an early evening mixer or cocktail hour IMO, and I believe it is a perfect Oud fragrance for the marketplace where you won't blast people away. All in all, the kind of Oud you can spritz and go right out the door, instead of spraying and waiting 30 minutes for the dry down "Safety zone" before going out among people. I didn't find the raspberry very synthetic and remember, I'm tired of raspberry. Longevity was very good for me, about six hours and I didn't spray full sprays. I would invest in a FB. <3

Another Oud is a light and unisex oud with a raspberry chord that gives it a soft and gentle quality. It’s perfect for both men and women. This oud is great for everyday wear, no matter the season. It won’t make you feel out of place or like you’re wearing something weird. The opening notes have a pleasant and slightly cold bergamot, followed by a non-sugary raspberry. The raspberry chord is really intoxicating and unexpected. It surprised me at first when I first sniffed it. It’s a perfect and fascinating combination that sets it apart from other ouds that may be too overpowering or earthy. As the oud wears on, the ambroxan becomes more pronounced, with a musky background that’s not too overpowering or unpleasant. The oud itself is pleasant, light, with a smoky vein that sets on the skin without being overpowering. It’s a “civilized” oud that exudes elegance. Overall, I really enjoy Another Oud. It’s a unique oud that’s quiet and politically correct. It’s persistent, muted, and has good longevity on my skin.

One of the best ouds! Another Oud, along with Midnight Oud, are two for the best ouds I've tried in the past year. In Another Oud, the woody, rich oud is obvious from the beginning. Accompanied by a hint of raspberry, which adds a very delicate accord of sweet fruitiness that, in turn, adds a faint delicious depth to Another Oud while maintaining it's oud-iness without ever turning it into a gourmand or an outright fruity scent. Meanwhile, the amrboxan, barely noticeable as well, serves to cool & lighten the scent without changing the smell. Excellent utilization of it here. The resultant smell is a a light, cool, soft, & airy rich oud smell with a mild hint of raspberry fruitiness. Absolutely beautiful! What makes it even better is that this is a unique smell. There are not a lot of fragrances that smell like this. A versatile winter wear. Being a light oud with a mild fruity accord makes it suitable for occasions & causal wear alike. Another Oud gets a "Love"! I really do love it.

This one will forever be in my fall/winter collection. I've gone through 2 big bottles and on my third bottle now and its half full. I dont think this is a safe blind buy and you'll either hate it or love it. First initial spray comes off harsh but the magic is in the dry down. It's sexy, seductive, warm, spicy, oudy and delicious with a hint of sweetness from the raspberry. The raspberry is not a gourmand raspberry its more of a realistic raspberry and it mixes so well with the oud. As a woman I absolutely love this. This fragrance will always have me in a chokehold. When fall/winter comes around I cant wait to bring this baby out. As for the longevity its absolutely beast mode. I've taken a shower and can still smell it on my skin. I get over 10 hours of wear. Ambroxan just sticks to my skin like glue.

Really another Oud! It is an interesting parfum, with whispers of raspberry and musk..coming together with bergamot and ambroxan remaining in the background, light. Obviously the Oud is the main protagonist of this beautiful composition! hit me really leaves a trail heady, sexy, unique and somewhat mysterious...is very well done!! The Oud is not heavy, but there is the right way. I like how the other notes give bright and color to the composition,making it bright and fantastic! This is modern and charismatic. The sillage is moderate, and longevity is quite good. I really like this perfume... Love!! ❤ Sillage: 7./10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Scent: 9/10 Overall: 9/10

I once went to a department store where the sales assistant told me that all Juliet Has A Gun fragrances contain 'only natural ingredients'. After I laughed in her face, I walked away and came back to try this. I'm glad I did. It's rather remarkable. Like some reviewers here, I enjoy synthetic oud and find it rather calming. The real stuff can smell awful (can, not 'always'). This doesn't. It smells smooth and elegant, almost not there and just a part of your skin. Not as fruity as you might think with a beautiful ambroxan dry down that isn't at all scratchy or unpleasant. Just beautiful! Lasts okay, though.

This is the perfume for which I receive the most compliments, from friends to strangers on the street. It has a large sillage and is very long lasting. When I get into a car or enter a room wearing this, I really do get people saying "wow you smell great". That is one of the goals for me of wearing perfume! The oud and raspberry are lovely together. Its a sexy scent not really appropriate for the office, but I love it everywhere else. Some might feel its more of a winter scent, but its magic on a hot sultry summer night. I love it, and have a large bottle. When that is done I'll buy another.

I like the scent of this parfume very much, it is a good scent for the beginners of oud scents. But it's very weak. I have to spray a lot, to smell it a little. However, it doesn't matter how much of it you spray, it will go away after 20 min. Also with another parfume from Juliette Has a Gun, 'Lady Vengeance I had the same experience about longetivity, very very weak. So I wouldn't reccomend this brand because it parfumes doesn't last at all. The price you pay is too much for a parfume wich dissappears after 20 minutes.

Oud for a summer day. This lovely mixes up the scent profile that is so common with oud, and gives it some more freshness to balance the woodiness of the oud. It's strong out of the gate, performs well, and the warmth of sunshine brings out all the best qualities here. This is one of my favorites from JHAG, feeling modern, unique, and sexy. If you like the main notes in it, it's a safe blind buy.

I will admit I love Juliette has a Gun, so I'm biased toward their fragrances. Whether it's an aspect of their manufacture, or their source, the products just work for me. This oud is simple, clean, and smells amazing on me. I love woody orientals and spicy orientals, so that's not a surprise. If you like things like Poison, or Black Opium, you will like this.

I really do not understand the fuzz, it is truly another generic oud. Nothing special, no additional layers. I would agree it is woody, aromatic, but there is nothing sweet, nor fruity. Honestly, did not expect such disappointment according the reviews indeed. staying power is the best in it in general..

I love this smell but its definetly not a safe blind buy. I love the sharpness and a bit of synthetic feeling but not everyone would like it. It starts with a very strong smell but after an hour it becomes more intimate which is disappointing for me

This scent is so addictive to me - I can't stop sniffing my wrist every time I wear it. It's very quickly becoming one of my S-tier fragrances, but I do recommend sampling it first. It's definitely not for everyone.

I love this! I typically rotate around feminine scents but I tried this at the flea market and fell in love. A smoky, slightly sweet oud! Perfect for cold weather. This inspired me to try more unisex scents.

My personal best... I like it !!! Basic but sophisticated... Modern but classy!!!

Another Oud, a sequel to the great Midnight Oud? It's hard to believe at first, but give it some time and it makes perfect sense. Midnight Oud is swathed in a cocoon of traditional middle-eastern notes. Midnight dances on the line between overtly masculine and feminine, being both and neither at once. Similarly, Another Oud manages to evade gender classification. However, it does so by straddling that line, with one foot on either side, and it completely casts off any traditional sentiments with its note selection too. The ambroxan/woodsy tones/bergamot is far too common in many 'blue' freshie men's fragrances, and the fluffy sweet musk/raspberry is frequently seen in women's perfumes. Another Oud combines both of these with a resulting perfume that is glittering and bright with smokey, pleasantly sharp, highlights and cozy sweet undertones. The bergamot burns up under the oud, but the raspberry, which is not candy sweet but instead slightly sour and mouthwatering, persists the whole way through. The fuzzy, sweetly musky base is familiar from other JHAG perfumes and makes Another Oud very wearable despite the intense oud. Interestingly, Another Oud flits between warm and cool as it shifts between ambroxan, oud, raspberry, and vanilla-y musk. I overall prefer the slight stank in Midnight Oud, and wish the oud here was even more smokey, but I am impressed by Another Oud regardless!

I actually really enjoy this scent. It was one of the first oud perfumes I smelled, and kicked off what is now a healthy obsession with the material in all its forms. Maybe because of that, it has a special place in my olfactory memory. The first burst gives smoky woods, with a touch of sweetness from the raspberry. Now that I’ve smelled high quality ouds and sharpened my senses, I can tell easily that this is synthetic oud, but I think it’s still a safe and pleasant one. I much prefer this to anything from Montale or Mancera. This is at least well-balanced and playful. Montale and Mancera’s synthetic ouds slap you across the face and forces its tongue down your throat like a drunk party girl. Another Oud doesn’t quite seduce you to bed, but it gives you flirty looks across the dance floor. Sometimes that’s all I want. If this lasted a bit longer, I would actually “Love” it. But because of it’s poor performance (2-3 hours tops, even on fabric), it’s down to a ‘Like” for me. Nevertheless, compared to other niche oud scents, the price is pretty decent, so I have a full bottle of this that I use liberally, when going out to the store, or on my daily walks. Because of the short performance, I consider this a daytime scent. I put it on and forget about it while I’m going about my day.

Super synthetic lab-brewed oud with a rather raspy fake raspberry and some robust, no-nonsense artificial musk beneath. Fine if you're trying to decide if you even like oud at all, or go for very modern treatments, but to me it's just a pretty harsh, stripped-down, rip-it-up-and-start-again approach to the old' rose-'n-oud routine. Now I've smelled around more, it's more conventional, tactful, and slightly more natural remixes of that I like more - Lancome L'Autre Oud for instance (which came first, that "other oud" or this "another oud" I wonder?), or at the grown-up and niche end, Diptqyque Oud Palao. Still, Another Oud is a fun experiment, and in its better moments can even pose and entertain like a cheeky robotic skit on classics like Malle's POAL. BUT. The JHAG treatment can get very screechy indeed. I ended up sort of like/hating it; the bottom end gets almost-bitter on my skin, but in an intriguing way. Verges on metallic at some points, which is a no for me. Personally I liked JHAG's Mmmm a lot more (against expectations, as I usually like raspberry with plenty of wood/leather rather than on its own.) Still, Another Oud does boast some pretty pushy sillage and tough-gal longevity, so it will do the job for plenty of people.

Ok not what I was expecting, opening is a little sharp but tones down really quick but still kind of sharp. You get that fresh sharp woody scent, you get a slight raspberry scent not sweet, the oud kicks in it is very similar to Lattaffa oud for glory oud scent but way less sweet and doesn’t last as long. The ambroxan base is there right after the mid note hits making it stay kind of clean, fresh but the woody oud is still there. It is odd the way it behaves, you get the western oud synthetic not animalic not a barnyard or cheesy oud; it’s more like damp wood. It remains clean fresh but woody with a faint raspberry it is not too fruity or sweet. Drydown is softer and you do get some musk. I mostly get the woody oud with ambroxan it’s clean but I wouldn’t wear it during summer. All other seasons I would wear it, it is unisex anybody can wear this one(note some might find it leaning masculine). It is not complex but it is not linear either. I can understand why some people may find it medicinal in a way. The truth is I don’t love it but I do like it and I would wear it often, for just casual wear or a night out with friends. Depending on price anything below $50 you are good. Performance 7/10 Longevity 7/10 Scent 6/10 Price 6/10
