You recommended Oud Noir as a beginner oud fragrance, and you nailed it. I loved it and want more oud

@6:50 Gucci Intense Oud does smell like Black Afgano. And therer's an amazing cheapie in that exact same ballpark: Proraso Wood & Spice Cologne. For anyone baby-stepping into the land of designer ouds I'd say that's probably the absolute best-value entry level option. Proraso also has a Wood & Spice Aftershave with that exact same scent as the Cologne.

Oud Touch is a must have to me. The performance, smell, and price are just too good to pass up. It smells like Oud Ispahan if you're wondering. (I know Ash knows but I'm talking to you reader👁👁)

I’m a Middle Easterner but hate Oud colognes, reminds me of old men during Eid (Islamic holiday). But when I smelled LV Ombre Nomad I was blown away of how perfectly blended oud was in this fragrance! Bought a bottle full retail & never regretted it 😎

Smelled SWY Oud yesterday and i am strongly considering picking it up. It would be my first oud fragrance. The oud is present but not overpowering. I pick up a little incense as well and find it to be a medium projecting fragrance.

Versace Oud Noir & Boss Bottled Oud Saffron are my favorite designer ouds (opposite ends of the spectrum). Best oud I have tried though is Odyon Dubai Scorpion Intense. Beast mode turned up to 13. Even wearable in the summer heat.

Try Ajmal Mukhallat Shams. Proper, but affordable, middle eastern oud. Real beast mode fragrance. You'll only need one spray. Be warned though, this isn't your softer western stuff that most people are familiar with. Some even suggest you should spray your clothes one day before you wear them because the far drydown is where the magic is.

hi ash, i was wondering if you are willing to do a video (on Extra Gent Scents or your main channel) talking about what websites to get test sprays, 1ml - 5ml size testers. I live in an area where my Macy's has the same 40 something scents and hasnt restocked since fathers day. I really want to keep exploring but i recently spent 40ish bucks on a blind buy and was extremely disappointed. I dont want to get burned in the future and am trying to get small doses to smell the fragrance before i splurg on a full bottle. Thank you for all the great content!

Favorite oud is Aoud Leather by Montale. A great, cool, dry aoud leather fragrance with just a hint of sweetness and great longevity. Surprisingly "fresh", maybe due to the coolness of the fragrance as it lacks warm resins or incense to heat it up. Doesn't get much love but it's one of my favorites.
