by Arabian Oud
Woody by Arabian Oud presents a clean, balanced oud-focused composition with a drier, more refined character than typical rose-oud blends. The opening features a strong, slightly medicinal woody blast with saffron and oud notes that deliver immediate presence—though this intensity can feel overwhelming initially. Over time, the rose and patchouli emerge to soften the dryness, creating a warm, aromatic core where amber and musk add depth and cohesion. The fragrance evolves smoothly from initial blast to a smoky, slightly incense-tinged drydown, maintaining a consistent profile throughout. Despite some variability in longevity and performance on individual skin, many users report excellent long-lasting wear and strong projection, especially when sprayed generously. Its elegant presentation and clean alignment of notes make it highly wearable across seasons, particularly in cooler weather. The scent maintains a refined, unisex character that appeals to those seeking a sophisticated oud-rose pairing without overwhelming animalic or skanky facets.
