Oudh Al Boruzz Asrar Indonesia
by Rasasi
Oudh Al Boruzz Asrar Indonesia by Rasasi delivers a bold, nuanced oud fragrance that stands out for its freshness and complexity. The opening features a vibrant blend of bergamot, ginger, and citrus, which introduces a sharp, zingy quality that some find challenging, likening it to a raw, earthy barnyard note. Over time, the fragrance matures into a refined, musky-amber drydown with layered oud depth, preserving a crisp, aromatic profile throughout. While some describe it as animalic or metallic, others emphasize its elegance, likening it to a refined chypre with Middle Eastern sophistication. It performs best when worn in air—its sillage is moderate to strong when projected, though longevity on skin is often described as moderate, with exceptional hold on fabric. The scent is widely seen as unisex, potentially crowd-pleasing due to its balance of spice, freshness, and depth.
