Arabian Oud Aseel Special Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Aseel Special Edition opens with Orange Blossom, Ozonic Notes, and Mulberry, settles into a heart of Rose, Vanilla, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Ambergris. Arabian Oud's Aseel Special Edition carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Aseel Special Edition is a polarising beast of a fragrance. While some find it to be a unique, beast-mode caramel and rose gourmand, others get a watery rose or find it overwhelmingly sweet. Don't spray too much unless you want to suffocate everyone.

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.

This perfume is a powerhouse, often described as 'beast mode' with nuclear longevity and sillage, making it too overwhelming for an office environment. Its sweet, gourmand profile and strong projection make it perfect for date nights and special occasions, though it can be a bit much for casual wear if over-sprayed.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Aseel Special Edition throws you into a sweet, floral fantasy with a vibrant burst of orange blossom and succulent mulberry, underscored by a crisp, ozonic breeze. As it settles, a rich heart of creamy vanilla, sticky caramel, and a prominent rose note takes centre stage, creating a voluptuous gourmand appeal. The dry down introduces a grounded blend of earthy patchouli, soft musk, and a hint of ambergris, adding depth to its luxurious sweetness.
