Dehn El Oud Mubarak

I got my Dehn El Ood Mubarak today. I have read reviews here on Fragrantica and I must say that "StinkySallys" review is just spot on, quote- "It has a mentholish note with some subtle leathery earthiness (think: Heathcliff storming into the manse after a good, purposeful, grumpy ride on the soggy moors, sweaty and dirty, sucking a Vicks cough drop. Ooh!!).". -------- Thank you StinkySally:) Regarding the mentholish note, I think that it lasts through out the whole perfume journey, and that is actually great! No skanky oud notes, no rotten cheese, fekals nor the wet hay is to be found in this blend, which I am extremly thankful for. Just a little heads up: the oil itself is extremly thick and even sticky and you just need a tiny dot on your wrists to begin with. Dehn El Oud Mubarak is an very uplifting experience and I just cant wait to wear it in the coming winter season.This is a dramatic mentholish woody oud treat with just a tiny bits of sweets. A treat.

Picked this up from a Swiss Arabian store in Muscat, Oman while on vacation. This is a great introduction to Arab attar style oud perfumes. To me, it opens with a mix of green and herbal notes, that quickly mellow out. Robust oud notes that linger for a long time, but this has unfortunately a very weak sillage when it sits on my skin. Beautiful packaging. The perfume itself is a thick, somewhat sticky and light brown coloured oil.

Beautiful beautiful oud!!!!!!! Sublime!! Such obviously excellent quality! Lovely and smooth, sweet and leathery, and glorious oud! Fabulous!!!

Dry wood! Thats what i get overall from Dehn el Ood Mubarak. What i imagine this to smell like is the wood image printed on Nasomatto's Blamage (not the cap, the bottle print). No connection to the fragrance though. Its extremely dry, woody and slightly leathery. I cannot wear this without layering it with other sweet smelling oils. Choco Musk and Ajmal's rose oil (Dehnal Ward AA) works brilliantly as layers/mix. You can be sure that this oil can butch up any sweet/feminine smelling fragrance. It projects well for the first 2 hours and lasts 7-8 hours easily on skin, and as with most oils, lasts days on clothes. As far as oud goes, it is extremely mild with little to no stank (by oud standards)

My first oudh! It has a mentholish note with some subtle leathery earthiness (think: Heathcliff storming into the manse after a good, purposeful, grumpy ride on the soggy moors, sweaty and dirty, sucking a Vicks cough drop. Ooh!!). I'm thinking for a westerner of the female persuasion, oudh is the equivalent of wearing your boyfriend's jacket while smelling your own floral-woody-fruity confection. I just put Hanan (swiss arabian) over the oudh, and they are playing nicely together: sweet with an earthy foothold, the menthol now more pepperish. So I'm wondering: creating fragrance blends on the fly by layering with oudh may be the way to go, each mellowing the other. Sigh ...
