Zara Oud

this is really amazing !!! the best of Zara !!! l found it and quickly got it without even thinking!!! It's remind me Armani Prive Rose d'Arabie...oh yes!!!! Of course this one is very cheap and Armani has the best quality , is more sophisticated and last longer...but for the price this is really a gem . l am very happy to discover it and my husband love it . He use and love Rose d'Arabie and now he found this one as a everyday use replacement. It opens with almost sugary ,very sweet vanilla...then quickly l can smell the strong wood and rose (not mentioned here ) and maybe patchouli ...is very strong combo. the drydown is very good , is stong, sweet until the end and rose and wood are very dominant!!!!The sillage is HEAVY and the the longevity is 10 hours on my skin. For the lovers of heavy orientals ...don't lose this opportunity ...l still can't belive l got it for this cheap price...

Unbelievably good for the money! Seriously, I only spent $40 on a bottle of this and it's easily one of the absolute best blended and smelling oud scents I've tried, ever. Heck, this is one of the best of any type of scent I've ever tried. It even lasts a long time, at least a strong EDT if not EDP concentration. I took a leap of faith on this one based on the rave reviews. "They couldn't be right" I thought, "not for such a cheap scent!" But I was the one in for the surprise, this really is a hidden gem and amazing value. Like others have said, this is as good as fragrances costing $200-$300. Must try/must buy for oud lovers.

Oh my God! This WAS in the flagship store in NYC (52nd & 5th Ave.). One sniff and I was thrilled to buy it. I informed them that it was Middle East exclusive and got the blank look from the pseudo fashionista male cashier. It was $16.90, marked down to $4.99, of course I stocked up! This Oud actually competes with some of the $200 fragrances I recently purchased (Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme) . I'm almost regretting plunking down so much when I could have had this little find for peanuts. If you see it, don't think twice, just buy. Not too woody, greasy, sappy...it's just perfect!

This is a gem every oud lover must try! Having tried all the Zara fragrance line (both masculine and feminine) I believe this one is by far the best launch (along with Intense Vetiver) of the house. Definitely unisex, very oudy, intense and quite long lasting (unlike most of the Zara frags). Oud, and roses which have the key role in the composition get sweetness from honey and vanilla and a spicy spark from saffron. Add a touch of incense for warmth and there you have it : The best oud for this price!

An incredible OUD fragrance. It smells just as nice as any of the super high end niche brands I have smelled. This is truly gorgeous. Also unfortunately it's difficult to find and near impossible in the USA. So pleased to have this in my collection it is like wrapping up in a warm cozy blanket and is perfect for the winter months.
