Cristal Oud

Omg, what a beautiful perfume. The rose and the incense is a perfect combination that i love so much. It reminds me of the incense in the Greek orthodox and Byzantine tradition. The Rose and the Oud with the Olibanum make a perfect combination. When I purchased this I was not expecting this quality, because the price was so low. This perfume has class despite its low price. It is perfect for almost every season, but better for warmer days. It is in my opinion not masculine but unisex, as every great perfume is. Good for formal meetings and with a beautiful silage. Just wow, chapeau.

Nice Rose and mild oud, 8/10, unisex starts a little weak when its 1st applied but very quickly become rich and warm smelling, not as rich a Ferrari essence oud but a good contender :) Im not a big lover of strong Oud and it makes me want to wash it off after a few hours, but rose and mild Oud mmmmm love it. i think they call it western oud!

Just Today i got it .... Really Nice Rose Oud .... Love It

Got Mauboussin Crystal Oud last summer for myself. I was trying out new fragrance in the perfume store and found this one. It smelled surprisingly good; masculine, fresh, woody. Perfect for sunny days. Also, I bought the fragrance when it was in the sale. I got it for €25. During the opening the rose is very prominent, after 5 minutes or so the oud shines through. To my nose there are not much other notes, which is fine. I like the fragrance. Season: Autumn or spring, summer is also possible in the evenings. Strength: 6.5/10 (6+ hours) Sillage: 7/10 Remark: Easy going, woody, masculine rose fragrance. Smells fresh, high price quality ratio. Overall grade: 8/10

I find all the Mauboussin fragrances that I own to be quite generic and not standing out from the crowd. But in saying that, they are all pleasant in their own way, certainly nice but not niche. Decent not disappointing. Mauboussin Cristal Oud is quite a loud fragrance with a noticeable sharp rose and plasticy-vinyl (must be the amber) aroma on the opening. The dry down is warm (as expected from an Oud) with a heavy damp moss type overtone in a more sour than sweet nose. This damp note does not change but remains the same for the next few hours. Overall then, a decent but loud Rose-Amber Oud that is affordable and worth adding to your fragrance wardrobe.
