Arabian Oud Rosewood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Rosewood opens with Oud and Rose, settles into a heart of Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk and Frankincense. Arabian Oud's Rosewood carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a proper split decision - some reckon it's a 'vomit-inducing' cloying mess, while others hail it as an 'addictive' compliment magnet. If you love sweet, creamy rose-oud combinations, this beast-mode performer might just be your new obsession, but it's certainly not for everyone.

About

Rosewood bursts open with a syrupy, rich rose intertwined with a subtle, well-behaved oud. The heart quickly introduces a decadent vanilla, sweetening the floral and woody blend into a gourmand delight. As it settles, a soft musk and a wisp of frankincense emerge, grounding the sweetness with an elegant, resinous warmth. It's a creamy, powdery rose, almost like Turkish delight, with just enough depth to stop it being purely saccharine.
