Oud al Qasr

I just received my bottle of Oud al Qasr. As it is mentioned in the previous reviews the opening is a bit harsh and it has metalic cold note (mint?) The next thing that comes to the foreground is boozy oud, it has a bit sour and spicy red wine aroma. After 25 minutes it settles down a bit, the sour note softens gradually and we discover beautiful warm woody scent. I can smell cedar (smell of Finnish sauna) mixed with ambery smooth vanilla. I think this phase is beautiful, it reminds me slightly of the mentioned before Amber Sultan but only in the dry down phase. Now I am sniffing Ambre Sultan and my wrist with Oud al Qasr and yes they are pretty similar. WOW! I find Cavalli perfume a bit sweeter and drier but yes they both give similar feel! I need to test it further for longevity and silage but I think it was a very good blind purchase for me, love its warm, dry, oriental feel!

I went through 4bottles. 4. This means oud of the palace and it is really pretty for someone who appreciates the mingling of oud, resin and incense. It reminds me of home and heaven all at once... if you like oriental incense leaning scents at a more reasonable price point, give this a try....

I like this. It’s a soft gourmand oud that has the bitter oud you expect, but with a slightly sweet vanilla/graham cracker crust type finish. This tones the bitter oud way down and it ideal for those who feel oud it too strong or over powering. I feel this one leans more unisex/masculine than feminine but anyone can enjoy this. I find this more dressy and formal than a casual day time scent. Hard to find but worth tracking down and spending a few bucks on. As soft as it is, this thing lasts all day and into the night, the longevity is off the charts. Overall a high quality unique fragrance.

Spicy orient. Oud Al Qasar is a spicy woody scent, made up of oud, labdanum, and spices that I don't see listed. The oud here is more of a woody accord than a proper oud oil smell. Quite oriental smell; warm ,woody, spicy. It gets a bit powdery and sweet on the drydown. This is definitely unisex. It also reminds me of Tom Ford's Plum Japonese; woody, spicy, powder, and mildly sweet. Worth a try but not a blind buy as it is one the more niche-smelling and expensive Cavalli releases ~$100 on discounters. A cool weather mature wear. "Like"

UNDERRATED.! Agree to @Carera can be easily wear by both of genders. First time of my life i can't say for a scent "more feminen or more masculine" woody oriental and smokey. I.m.h.o. this juice can be winner of unisex scents cause really same distance to both of genders. Not a sillage monster but longevity is good suitable for cold seasons also can be wear at summer nights.
