[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

I'm wearing Oud Noir right now. I find it mostly reminds me of wood, but those added aromatics warm it up and make it perfect for cold weather

[@pauljames5281]

Im 55 but love Salvatore Ferregamo Oud.. lasts a long time and great scent.. after watching your video about it Ash.. Well worth it.

[@chefaaron77]

I just blind bought Versace oud noir and I can't get enough of it. I also have a sample vial of Penhaligons Halfeti and it's amazing

Gucci Oud Intense is my favourite by far.

Chopard oud malaki - super impressed with this fragrance specially in the opening.

[@mehdimaghlaoui8881]

Without any question Ash actualy is the most incredible viewer of fragrances in youtube with his atitudes of making the choices of any fragrance looks easy for anybody !

[@Aramisbyjoe]

For sure! Better than that one loony guy that tries to sell his candles to us.

[@lukeweeks3470]

I know they aren't "beginner" ouds but I think Aaron Terence Hughes' oud fragrances are so wearable that they'd definitely be considered as beginner ones for me! I don't really notice the oud as it's just so balsamic and sweet. Lovely. I have tried Daddy, Luna, Onyx, Onyx Extreme, Oud, Tabac (got oud in it too), Forbidden and Oxytocin from his oud lineup 🙂

[@mastodon5220]

ur credibility vanished the second u mentioned that this bloke is a perfumer i mean he says he is but thats a lie Aaron Terrence Hughes is a big crook faked his whole life & body ( Britains most vainest men) this dude spend 50k for beauty surgery on his body i mean look at him .. i also love that Fragrance du Bois sued him cause he said that one scent he got from them doesn’t contain Oud , they forced him to take the original bid down to upload a vid where he reads a letter and apologized cause it does contain Oud.. ur perfumer is unable to detect Oud in a scent and btw his scents r a joke , the ingredients are so cheap …

[@marinko1862]

He explained it on Chris channel recently. He likes to mix that animalic side of fragrance with other sweet likeable side. He said it gets the most attention.

Tobacco Oud is my most favourite fragrance of all time.

I get mad compliments when I wear Franck Olivier Oud Vanille & Oud Touch. Women love them both.

[@pielucas439]

I received Raghba as a gift last week & I absolutely love it!!

[@teecee1725]

It's a cheapie but one of my favorites is Banana Republic Oud Mosaic.....great scent for the money!

[@jingledubz3989]

Great video Ash! I have a few of these and agree (Varvatos, Bottled Oud). I own quite a few shave soaps and matching EDP’s with oud notes as well that are awesome. 👍

I’ve only smelled Oud Noir and Oud Wood. Both I like. Oud Noir may be a purchase in the future.

How is the performance of the Versace? Would you say its better than tom fords oud wood?

[@jonduke3919]

I bought Versace because of u and love it.

[@raulsaavedra709]

Gucci Intense Oud, which smells somewhat similar to Black Afgano. And for much less money, Proraso's Wood & Spice Cologne, which also smells like Gucci Intense Oud and Black Afgano, but being a cologne does not last as much. So if somewhat scared about oud, that is one safe and harmless way to check it out.

[@dantalksscentsuk]

Great list. The one mysterious nights is superb.

[@blackcat6508]

M7, Soul, Gucci Intense Oud, Guerlain's Santal Royale, Bvlgari's Man in Black Orient, Oud Kalemat, Sahara Noir and Halston Man Amber are in my opinion other stunning designer Ouds.

[@Vamp939]

if u dont mind Gucci intense oud or guerlain santal royal? more compliments?

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great list and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@fattony9227]

Lattafa's Oud for Glory is very nice and lasts a long time. Besides, it costs less than 10th. of the price of Initio's Oud for Greatness.

[@lawrencebessey849]

I have the D&G mysterious night. Nice scent but I only wear it at night or on a date

[@dazzac74]

So you only wear it at night. Coz you dont get dates you just saying that winner

Boss Bottled Oud Saffron.

[@damelos4039]

Great video. Trying to be careful with my introduction to Oud. This was very helpful, man! Keep it up.

[@maximus8321]

I don't think I have ever tried anything better, in terms of oud fragrance, then Ombre Nomade from Louis Vuitton

[@cengizgokce81]

Hi Ash, which one is better: Hugo Boss bottled oud? Or Hugo Boss bottled oud saffron?

[@MikeMejia90]

He's mentioned that Oud for Glory was the best clone to Oud for Greatness. Now it's Afnan's? Has anyone experienced all three? Thoughts?

[@MrGangstaShark]

Hey ! I have Oud for Glory ,i bought it last month and i must be honest... it is trash .. i have 30 + in my colecttion and i am not a snoob but this perfume is very week in performance and materials.. i dont have the original or the other clone from Afnan !

[@GreyCrowe]

I've owned Oud for Greatness, Lattafa Oud for Glory, Afnan Supremacy in Oud, and Paris Corner Ministry of Oud Greatest Oud. I prefer the Lattafa...Price/Packaging/Potency/Compliments the Lattafa drop for drop blows the others away. In my personal experiences with them

[@kfung4]

May be because he already mentioned one from lattafa so he went for a second options, ash does that a lot

[@blackcat6508]

He made another video in which he compared Supremacy in Oud and Oud for Glory, he preferred SIO.

[@m.c.5011]

I'm surprised by the comment of Supremacy Oud being the best Oud for Greatness clone... I have Lattafa's Oud for Glory and it smells GREAT to me! I will have to check out the Supremacy vs. Lattafa review Ash has done, but it sounds like you can't go wrong with either. Hack, buy both (shouldn't be no more than $90 - $100 total, possibly less) the total would be a 1/4 to 1/3 of the price Oud for Greatness.

[@lessonzlrnd]

Once again, coffee and cologne!! Thank you sir!! Let's go!

[@adamdestro123]

Franck Olivier Oud Touch for me. Cheapie gem.

[@thomassleziak1222]

It isn’t safe option for blind buy, or? I wanted to buy it, but was quite afraid that I will not like it, so I didn’t. But I will maybe later this year.

[@Am_I_yours]

@@thomassleziak1222not blind buy worthy... but it's so cheap it doesn't matter. It's a crown pleaser for sure but smells very synthetic.

YSL M7 Absolute isn’t the original M7, but it’s still pretty nice. I always enjoy it.

I have these and like them all. My favorite of them is Raghba Wood Intense.. Boss Bottled Oud is a close runner up, followed by Versace's Our Noir! BTW, for the uninitiated, cool to cold weather only! These are all exceptional designer "ouds"--great choices, G.O.A.T.! 🐐

How is the performance of the Versace? Would you say its better than tom fords oud wood?

Why is the emphasis on winter wear in the Western world for oud yet in the middle East where oud is often worn it's often very very warm weather.

No coincidence that I watched this video wearing the same flannel! Lol. Ash, which would you say is the most versatile Oud? Versace? Boss? Looking for something I can add to my collection, won’t break the bank, and can wear with…well….this shirt!

[@avivbikel8671]

I just tried my first oud fragrance. what purpose would you say oud is best for?

[@banditbiker5190]

Only oud fragrance I've experienced is Oud Wood (TF). Absolutely phenomenal. Slightly animalic off my skin but phenomenal. Never thought I'd like a cologne that reminds me of decaying carcasses lol

[@Franowayne]

Oud reminds me of the woodwork shop

[@ozza4496]

I'm not a fan of oud as it gives off middle eastern grandpa vibe, but I've recently smelled Acqua di Parma Oud EDP and has been blown away by how well the citrus blends with the oud. If it wasn't for the pricetag and the fact that I wanna declutter my collection I would've gotten it for sure.

[@user-uf4lf2bp8t]

imo it doesnt really have much of an oud smell, and is way too expensive for that

[@J_M_E_83]

You called the Raghba bottle trash but i disagree, it's the exact same bottle that the niche house Frapin use. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say, but yeah i don't think it looks bad at all 🤷‍♂️

[@saadbhatti7003]

But some people like Oud Attar/ Oud Fragrance. Big Designer names make a lot of money on Oud/Amber/Wood Fragrance. Middle East, people love OUD

[@natebulb]

Ash is getting a bit nuttier these new vids. as a OG fan, Im enjoying it. A new viewer gonna be taken back a little

[@1nfty-]

Varvatos Oud is amazing for its price. Oud Noir is a straight up gem.

[@joe19912]

Agree, it also has a Spicebomb similarity and reminds me of the original Halston Z-14, but the newer Z-14 is hot garbage.

[@jaekamacho1416]

Gucci intense oud and stronger with you oud have been my latest go too, love oud wood, but the other two are "cheaper" so im saving tom ford for special occasions. Love all 3 though 🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@FISHinho8]

Hey Ash, I'm slowly getting used to the new text animations, but imho you are using the effects are a bit too much. While I understand that you wanted to mix it up, personally I prefered the old note breakdown. Just my 2 (s)cents.

[@abdulrahim8446]

Save your money and purchase some authentic oud oil if you can get your hands in it. I warn you it is expensive but the money is well worth it in my opinion, been wearing it since the 90's.

[@Ant_Luna]

Is it true that a lot of these fragrances with oud on the bottle don’t have oud in them since oud is so expensive or maybe there is oud but but there would only be like the smallest drop if any just a question

[@BlackHawkPSU]

Is Versace Oud being discontinued? It's no longer listed on the official Versace website. Is that a sign?

[@ankithatta5598]

Ashton can we consider lattafa velvet Oud in Oud fragrance list?

[@travisthornton1117]

Ash have u tried oud for glory because I watched a review on it and that one they say is the best clone and the bottle looks almost like the original oud for greatness

[@Tecfield]

Wow, looks like all fragrance reviewer KZbinrs are in sync at not even mentioning Chopard. If you are looking for a smooth smelling oud without any harshness that lasts for days, you have to check out Oud Malaki by Chopard. Off of these seven in this video, it's far better in terms of quality and longevity by a landscape.

[@Tecfield]

The fun part is that Oud Malaki is created by one of the best mater perfumers of all time Dominique Ropion and still no one mentions it.

[@flightgravity7483]

Probably because Chopard chose Curly Fragrance to talk about their fragrances.

[@Tecfield]

@@flightgravity7483 so what stops others to talk about Chopard? Money?

[@flightgravity7483]

@@Tecfield Possibly. Like you said, Chopard isn’t on a lot of people’s radar and they absolutely get lost in the shuffle of other bigger brands. To be fair I don’t think Chopard paid Curly, but they sent her a few bottles. Sometimes it takes a little compensation to encourage people to talk about something.

[@Tecfield]

@@flightgravity7483 this is sad. Chopard has some of the best smelling fragrances. The Malaki line is affordable and high quality.

Never heard anyone describe oud as poo, oud scents are one of the most oldest scents in history and very unique in how they smell, if you ain't scared of being loud and prominent. If your not confident and can't handle the sexyness, stay away from oud 🤣

[@derred723]

Oud wood just smelled horrendous to me. I will try more but i found it pretty repulsive. If i ever get one i'll grab the Maison Alhambra Woody Oud just cause i can't stomach the Tom Ford price for something i don't like and maybe a clone might be an easier hit to the wallet when i'm starting out. but generally, if there's oud, i absolutely won't wear it.

Why does Oud smell like hospitals and bandaids? Or is this just a bad oud that Mancera uses "aoud" ?

I am sure none of those fragrances or most designer and even niche gsm fragrances use actual real oud. Oud is in itself a fragrance and you have different types of Ouds which smells totally different from each other. People who say that all Ouds smell like but or aninalic clearly haven't smelled much of the real deal.
