Oudi

Oudi, released by Ard Al Zaafaran in 2016, is a woody fragrance with a strong musky side and lighter touches of spice, green, floral and amber. It is meant to be worn by anyone.

Cinnamon gives the opening a sweet, warming spice, while rose adds a soft, velvety floral note that carries into the heart. At the centre is agarwood, or oud, bringing its dark, resinous and slightly smoky character, supported by cedar for dryness and sandalwood for a creamy smoothness. Patchouli adds earthiness and oakmoss a damp, green, forest-floor shade. Musk, including white musk, and amber form the base, giving a clean, warm and soft finish that keeps the oud approachable.

Its mix of rose, spice and musky woods makes it a classic Middle Eastern style, well suited to evenings, cooler weather and special occasions. It suits people who want an accessible oud with a clean musky finish, and those who like rose and cinnamon over dark woods.
