Aoud Collection - Golden Aoud

If I ever thought of having a signature scent, this might be it! BUT! If you want to avoid its unisex qualities, don't spray - dab it! When I first tried it and sprayed it on my arm, it took quite a while to unfold; then I decanted it into a roll-on bottle un tried it next day and - what a blessing! Untypically dark Bulgarian rose (which usually is loud and piercing on me), geranium and just a hint of patchouli, and smooth, deep woody undertones (I could swear I detect moss, too, although it isn't listed). If you have tried Explosive by Etienne Aigner, you will definitely find huge likeness between them, I guess thanks to geranium note in both, although Golden Aoud is richer and much more expensive smelling. It's not an office scent - save it for special occasions when you want to make a statement with your appearance. Overappliers - please, stay away from it - 1 spritz is one too much; 1 dab is all you need to produce a great sillage that will last for about 10 hours.

Very nice, sharp, slightly medicinal rose oud. I'm not expert enough to detect the geranium note, but the rose, oud and saffron notes are very pleasing. It reminds me a little of Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal. Not quite as strong performance wise as that scent, but still quite good performance nonetheless. After a few hours, fades to a skin scent which is soft and almost non existent. Overall I'm very happy with this fragrance. Recommended.

Masculine, versatile and great performance. The geranium, oud, rose and patchouli bounce off each other in a familiar, yet unique way. Top marks. Very little leather and I cannot detect chili pepper (though I've never smelt it in perfumery). 8/10

This smells exactly like Aoud Lime after 2 hours, only Golden Aoud has Geranium & teak wood & Pepper instead of Iris, Amber and sandelwood!

saffron and oud verry nice nostalgic scent the projection and long lasting factor is on point. nice stuff lovely scent .
