Plush, resinous and very long-lasting, a formal winter scent. Turkish and Bulgarian rose meet Laotian oud, with violet softness, vanilla, amber and a touch of caramel.
Rouat Al Oud is a divisive beast. For some, it's a stunningly sophisticated rose-oud combo with an exotic edge. For others, it's a harsh, synthetic affair that's best avoided. If you're after a budget Oud Ispahan, this might just scratch that itch.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Rose, oud, amber and benzoin are rich and dense. Winter is its season and autumn a close second, with a cool spring evening as the limit.
Occasions
Made for formal evenings and special occasions, where its depth and reach are welcome. It would be too much for an office or a casual day.
Seasons
A year-round scent - easy to wear in any season.
Occasions
Its strong projection and Middle Eastern character make it less suitable for a conservative office environment. However, the elegance of rose and oud, balanced with fruity warmth, makes it ideal for dates and some formal events, especially as it settles into a more refined drydown.
