Oudgasm Tobacco Oud | 04 Eau de Parfum Intense

My Kayali Oud Collection came in. I watched every single YouTube video and NOTHING prepared me for what I actually smelled. I wanted to know if a person wasnt into oud, should we be afraid of the collection. These are all classic Kayali DNA fragrances. Those who are typically underwhelmed with Kayali, you'll be underwhelmed again. Kayali lovers will find happiness once again. These are all BEGINNER friendly ouds. The black bottles werent necessary. They are all soft skin scents. These are crowd pleasing and nothing is off putting even if it isnt your cup of tea per se. My favorite is Vanilla Oud. They honestly didn't even need to call it oud bc you cant detect it at all. Its a soft pretty dainty skin scent. Is it groundbreaking? No! Does it need to be? No! McDonald's isnt extraordinary either but they are still #1. I want a full bottle of the Vanilla Oud. Kayali is famous for their vanillas and they nailed it once again right here. Tobacco Oud: This is my 2nd favorite and I also want a full bottle of it. It sort of reminds me of a baby Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. Although this one has supposedly the most intensity of oud, it's still a very elementary level of oud and very safe to move product for the masses. The opening isn't that great but the mid is addictive and the drydown after 2-3 hours is a baby candy sweet vanilla with lace and glitter femininity. Cafe Oud: Im a coffee fragrance lover. I own Delox from Tiziana Terenzi. I love the coffee in Bond No 9 New York Nights & New Haarlem. I also love the coffee in Followed by Kerosene. Cafe Oud unfortunately missed the mark. It smelled stale on me. Not an old stale smell but something that just recently went stale. Rose Oud: Im not typically into rose so to no surprise this didnt work for me either. I would imagine rose ppl would appreciate this one. I do like the rose in the new Carmina by CREED interestingly enough. Kayali gets both a lot of love and hate. (That's what happens when you're on top!) I am a Kayali fan. What else do I own from the brand? ☆ Vanilla 28 ☆ Musk 12 ☆ Déjà Vu White Flower ☆ Yum Pistachio ☆ Silk Santal ☆ Lovefest Burning Cherry ☆ Eden Juicy Apple I look forward to the TWO full bottles from the Oud Collection that I'll grab next month during Sephora's 20% off VIB sale.

Strong, warm tobacco. Fresh leathery saffron. Florals, Oud. Once I read honey, I totally smell it. That’s at the top keeping the tobacco sweet. It does disappear by the mid. Clove is present to give it a warm spice. I’m a big fan of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Oud Wood. This combines those main notes into something unique. So many are marking this as masculine... I’d agree it does lean just over unsex to slightly masculine but not in a way that will stop me from wearing it. It’s unisex enough that I would still label it unisex. There is a sweetness but not as strong as Vanilla Oud. It’s keeping the balance without swaying it gourmand. It’s subtle enough that I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint each sweet note/accord. The tobacco is so strong that it’s the main thing you’ll smell and drowns out the other notes. Overall, it is a strong, long-lasting unisex fragrance that is best suited for fall and winter. It has quite a luxurious feeling, so I would choose it for going out.

Update**This is addicting layered with Vanilla Oud. I cannot stop wearing this combination!** I am a bit surprised how much I enjoy this fragrance. In my opinion, this is the most masculine but it has a sweetness/softness to it that makes it addicting/enchanting. To my nose it’s soft but heavy at the same time. It almost plays a trick on you. It’s the strongest, longest lasting out of the collection. I kept smelling my wrists...I was intrigued/slowly falling in love. I love this fragrance and I am happy to have the mini size but I would prefer to smell this on a man. To make it more wearable for me and my preference, I would layer this with Vanilla Oud!

This is such a yummy tobacco scent. It's definitely unisex. I get that almost fruity tobacco note that's in Tobacco Vanille. Despite that, the 2 are very different scents. The honey note is quite noticeable with saffron and clove, giving it something somewhat spicy. I don't feel like this is a heavy oud. The oud is there, but it's in the background. I adore this fragrance for cold days. It creates a scent bubble to keep you warm. If you like tabocco dominant fragrances, this is worth a try. Longevity: 7/10 Projection: 7/10 Overall Experience: 8/10

Sooo so so gorgeous and intoxicating. This is my favourite from the Oudgasm line, closely followed by the rose. This reminds me of TF Tobacco Oud which is discontinued and I've been missing it ever since! This is more feminine tho, slightly. Clearly I am in the minority but this scent profile is amazing and so me<3 I would wear this every day I find it so sexy, edgy, and it just blends with my chemistry so well. The performance is EXCELLENT!
