Amazing review brother. For a minute you almost converted me into an oud lover. To me,oud is the most challenging note/accord in fragrances. I can't stand Oud Ispahan,Oud Palao,Montale Dark Aoud and many oud heavy hitters. They come too skanky...comes across to becoming almost fecal. I don't know...maybe my nose is not just ready for it. I appreciate a frag with oud but with other equal casts that softens the blow... YSL M7,John Varvatos Oud,Fahrenheit Absolute,Creed Royal Oud,Wonderwood by CdG and the likes are ok with me because they are not too strong. Agarwood is my waterloo while vetiver on the other hand I can deal with pleasure. It is my spinach in fragrances if I were Popeye. Anyways,you always never fail to amaze me with your passion and in-depth knowledge in this hobby we all love. Salute!

Good Review! I believe Diors Fahrenheit was the first western fragrance which had Oud in the basenote. Tom Ford Oud Wood really reminds me of Ajmals Amber Wood. Its nice that you mentioned the region of Creeds Oud ingredient. Its a very earthy and green Oud. Enjoyed the review!!! My suggestion for you is Nasomattos Black Afgano :)

Polo Supreme Oud, inexpensive, synthetic but very nice and wearable Oud, and , Oud Caravan No 3 by Abdes Salam Attar , Skanky and unbridled authentic oud almost what a Bedouin would wear. Those 2 along with ADP Oud are my absolute favorites.

I own a bottle of MFK oud velvet mood and yesterday I got nose on true artisanal oud from ensar that was my first time smelling pure oud thanks to your video on ensar and promo code. I bought oud Yusuf and oud Tigerwood 1995 and Adam gave me free sample of archipelgo from wild aged wood. My MFK oud velvet mood smells very similar to archipelgo it's the balsamic note and MFK did good job using real oud from laos which after smelling ensar oud I can guarantee it's the real deal. Unlike my kilian amber oud is all synthetic and gives me headaches. Love ensar oud very generous man. Bought another bottle of green papua since it's on sale, just one day after smelling pure oud from ensar. Thanks for your honest reviews.

You are a very genuine reviewer. Not a word here or there. My hobby double folded after watching your videos Nikhil ji. I was working in Dubai before some years. While wandering in The Dubai Mall, I could smell very good fragrances of Oud based perfumes. At that time I was not that much mature to do innovation in perfumes, but after watching your videos here on KZbin, my search comes to end of perfume world. Can you suggest names of perfumes that Arabs were there in Dubai or GCC nations ? As I am looking for that kind of smelling perfumes, please. Thanks.

A bit late to the party, but thanks for all your videos Nikhil! I just discovered your channel and gotta say that you have amazing taste and vast knowledge about perfumery. Thank you for sharing it with us! I started getting into oud scents and I'm trying to find something that smells like Oud Satin Mood from MFK, but with the oud note amped up and the rose note toned down. The same level of sweetness, just more woody? Would you happen to know any scents that fit that description? I tried the Oud offering, but it wasn't as sweet as I hoped it would be. Fantastic scent regardless. Also, I do have Rasasi's Junoon Satin which is incredibly sweet & ambery, but not oud-y enough. Thanks again for this video!

You are too good, I would like to meet up with you when I come to India next time, I am big fan of Francis Kirkdijian, l have six bottle as a back up for each of his Oud , except Kashmir and Velvet, I have to learn from you you about Indian Oud which plays a dominant role in Kashmir and Velvet, satin , silk , Oud , are Cambodian, which I adore.i also like Oud for greatness, but I want to buy some Indian Oud with your help, the funny thing is Indian Oud starts to subside it’s strong smell slowly, which I experienced from some Oud I bought on line from Arabian Oud.

@jimr8807 жыл бұрын
What an outstanding list! Where to begin...Fahrenheit Absolute is a masterpiece scent, but I don't wear it too often these days due to it being discontinued. Thankfully, I picked up 3 spare bottles while they were reasonable priced a couple years ago so I'm good to go; I tried the infamous Oud Wood 2-3 years ago and...well, I thought it was nice, but it just didn't grab my attention and scream, "Pay $$$ for me." Moreover, I brought home two or three decants and this fragrances lasts only 1-2 hours on my skin before completely disappearing - extremely disappointing. I too love Kerosene fragrances and have five (5) full bottles. While I do thoroughly enjoy R'Oud Elements, my favorite from this house is Broken Theories...not sure why this one doesn't get more love, but I think it's fantastic. I have AdP Colonia Intense Oud (Colonia Leather too) and love, love, love it! Although I have never tried Colonia Oud (I'll trust your nose when you say they are cut from the same cloth) I just love how coriander is used in this fragrance - wore is just last night and Creed Royal Oud two nights ago. I really enjoy Royal Oud...just don't wear it often these days, but I may wear it while attending a formal black-tie affair this coming New Years Eve. I tried MFK Oud 2-years ago and liked it (along with some of the other MFK Oud flankers) and liked it but didn't love it. I'll have to revisit this one during the next few months. Rasasi Oudh At Boruzz Asrar Indonesia is on my to-buy-list...perhaps by the Spring. Sahraa Oud and London Oud sounds really interesting...but not easy to sniff in my area, and the prices are...well, very pricey to say the least. Still, I hope to try 'em one day. Enjoyed!
