Oud Noir

I love this perfume its a great value for money. it has quite an expensive feeling smell with the top notes which last 1 hour and after that it's a nice dark comfortable smoky, woody, slightly sweet, middle and basenote. The bottle is amazing especially for the price, it looks high quality, nice heavy metal cap, and very good pressured atomizer. you can fine tune exactly how much you want to spray with this. On my dryish skin it last around 6 hours after that 2 hours of skin smell, but with some prep using hyaluronic acid cream after moisturizing and putting the perfume just before the cream dries, I noticed a very pleasant skin smell even after 14 hours of wearing it. It is definietly a unique smell, and geared more towards as a winter fragrance or a date fragrance on a summer night, especially with its top notes, but I think if you spray a little, which is quite easy with this atomizer, its safe for summers as well if you like the smell that much. In my opinion, if you like oud, and the loud 1 hour top notes in middle easter fragrances, you can safely blind buy it, otherwise definietly try it before hand, or wait until it gets discounted. I bought this 50% off for 15 usd, which is safe to say an absolute steal, but it's great value for 30 as well for sure.

There are 5 reviews before me. 2 of which say it's absolutely a female fragrance, the other 2 saying that you need to be a macho/masculine man to pull this off. This is why we can't go on what we hear, only how we smell it ourselves. The other review says it's a good Ombre Nomade clone. To me it's very much a male leaning unisex fragrance. I have this Oud Noir and also MA Jean Lowe Noir and to me they are identical to each other. This one I bought for around £15 equivalent and the JLN was slightly more but not worth mentioning as they're still good cheapies. The only difference is that the Khadlaj one has a great pressurised atomiser with a solid heavy cap, whereas the JLN mirrors the fragrance it's cloning but with a magnetic cap, but don't pick it up by the cap or you'll regret it. I don't have Ombre Nomade but I have tested it and it's obviously got much better naturals in it, but for the price, either one of the two clones will get you by and they last a long time on your skin, it just depends on whether you can carry it off. Test it first but for the money, you can't go wrong with either. The joys of being a frag head always make me smile.

Wow this is such a well blended and high quality scent I can’t believe it’s only $24.99. When I first ordered this, I didn’t know what to expect, as sometimes Oud can be really strong and not smell good. This is a fruity ambery scent, with a hint of Oud. It’s very smooth, and if you are on the fence about getting something with Oud I would say this is the one to get. It reminds me a lot of the LV Oud line, so I highly recommend this. 9.1/10, long lasting, strong, and a great scent profile.

using this curently , smells 90% like louis vuitton ombre nomade .......projection and sillage is very good especially in cold weather .. Had some compliments when i used this plus its last days on clothes ..... the oud and rose in the dry down is madddd crazy ;love this very safe blind buy for both male and female

Unbelievably high-quality smell for the price. Very rose and oud forward but does have some smellable raspberry. I know everyone says it's a cold weather fragrance but personally I think this is the perfect fragrance for anyone on a summer night out when they want to smell luxurious.

You need to be very macho to pull this unisex one off. It could also pair well with a powerful woman that knows what she wants. It's that kind of scent. Not for the weak. I don't know about the original, but this one is a beast - great scent, projection and longevity.

I want it sooo bad. Its not an annoying linear oud scent, I can smell strong spicy notes, as just strong as I need it. My issue with oud scents is that so annoying without spices and not unique. This bottle is another dimension which I love.

Khadlaj nailed on this one for my taste, from start to finish it smells like power. Spicy Oud Amber Rose that elevates my night experience.

Very good perfume. Low price, good performance and sillage. On the start fruity and than smooth and oudy. I recommend this one.

Very nice scent that is close to Ombre Nomade. No brainer for the price.

Four sprays will literally drench you in saffron, incense, patchouli and amber, as this oud is very bold! It waylays you with an explosive opening of saffron and patchouli that remains throughout the drydown. During the warm and pleasant drydown, amber is your close companion with incense trolling close by. Oud is the dominant bouquet that aggressively wafts throughout the entire olfactory range with this bold scent....rose, although present, trails along with some vagueness! In saying "bold" I do edge more on its good longevity and silage because the fragrance itself is quite light on its initial application, not being nuclear or anywhere near. A storm in a teacup would be more fitting! Overall, a pleasant unisex frag, leaning slightly on the male side due to its impressive base notes, with only hints of floral. As with all fragrances, the scent depends on the pH value of your skin and will change the fragrance's eloquent bouquet between different wearers! Hence, all reviews should be taken with some self-decorum!

blind bought this fragrance, and i have to say that first smell was a very harsh rose and incense. Personally wasn’t a fan but i waited a couple days before trying and to be fair its far off the harsh opening i got in the beginning. it bloomed into a fruity sweet rose with a strong oud background and the oud and incense wasn’t as strong and really sticks around to the end. very nice fragrance with oud as i’m getting more and more away from the vanilla side of fragrances and stepping into more dark masculine and oud frags. 7/10 i’d say it’s a risky blind buy but if you’re all about masculine and oud id say for 23$ you can’t go wrong.

A sweet rose oud fragrance, the opening is like a woodsy raspberry jam and then morphs into a strong ambered rose with incense. The oud is light, but you can smell it in the composition. This is very good for the 29 dollars that I paid for, the bottle is hefty with a pressurized atomizer. Performance is good, it was still noticeable when I woke up this morning 🙏 Stop by my TikTok for some fragrance content: nerolicannoli

Jammy rose bomb. Its a fruity raspberry rose with not much else, I don't pick up any woody or darker notes from the supposed oud in this fragrance. It's amazing for this profile and lasts for ages surprisingly. I get about 10 hours on skin. Cost £31 for 100ml.

A very sweet, rosy, and smoky incense scent. In my opinion, it doesn’t last as long as expected and comes across more as a casual fragrance. Longevity is moderate, lasting around 4+ hours on skin and about 5+ hours on clothes.

My intro to more unisex, oud scents. For the price point, it's a great option with great projection. A little goes a long way, so it's even more economical. Love!

Oud Noir by Khadlaj is a male-leaning unisex fragrance in my opinion, squarely in the Ombre Nomade camp, but in a lighter, more approachable version with a clear raspberry accent. There’s even a subtle nod toward Oud Maracuja, giving it a fruity twist atop the dark oud base. It carries a typical Middle Eastern vibe, rich yet easy enough to wear if you enjoy this style. The bottle feels high-quality, with a metal cap and a well-calibrated atomizer, and the very low price makes it a standout pick for lovers of this genre. Scent: 3/5 Longevity & Projection: 1/1 Presentation: 0.5/0 Quality/Price Ratio: 2/2 Compliment Factor: 0/1 Uniqueness: 0.5/1 Overall: 7/10 Office-friendly: No (better for evenings or special occasions) Blind buy: Yes (if you like Middle Eastern oud-fruity blends) Recommended age: 25+ Occasion: Formal evenings, night out, special occasions Season: Fall, Winter, cool Spring evenings

For me, this is a straight up female fragrance, I don't smell anything remotely manly or masculine about it. However, it's a very good, strong female winter scent. A little bit too heavy on the raspberry and rose notes to my taste, slightly nauseous and headache inducing, however a pleasant scent overall.

The oud is synthetic, and rose is cloyingly sweet. Great performance, sillage, and projection - but what's the point of that if the scent isnt good!?

Way too masculine! Do not like this at all. It came with another fragrance as a free gift. I'm glad it was free.

I cant see hoe a man can use this. This is straight up female fregrance
