Al Haramain Perfumes Black Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Black Oud opens with Pepper, Cardamom, Clove, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, Oud, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Al Haramain Perfumes's Black Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive oud, splitting the room between those who sing its praises for masterful blending and bold projection, and others who think it's just 'weak AF'. Either way, it's unmistakably Al Haramain: don't expect quiet sophistication.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, Black Oud is a bit too much for the office. It excels in formal and date settings where its bold, woody oud character can shine, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

Black Oud kicks off with a fiery spark of pepper, clove, and cardamom, spiced up with a hint of earthy thyme. This soon melts into a heart of rich, deep oud, softened by the classic romance of rose and the green depth of vetiver and cedar. The dry-down is smooth and luxurious, a creamy blend of vanilla, amber, sandalwood, and musk, leaving a sensual and lasting impression.
