Solid Black

Arabian Oud Solid Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Solid Black opens with Peach, Mandarin, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Magnolia, Orange Blossom, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Praline, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Arabian Oud's Solid Black carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a bit of a curveball from Arabian Oud - not at all what you’d expect from the name and bottle. It's a sweet, fruity, cozy scent with monster performance that might just surprise you.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its strong projection and sweet, impactful accords, Solid Black isn't ideal for a professional office setting. It truly shines for dates and casual outings, where its inviting and long-lasting aroma can be fully appreciated. While some might push it for formal events, its pronounced sweetness leans more towards playful than polished.

About

Solid Black opens with a bright, juicy burst of peach and mandarin, quickly joined by delicate white florals like orange blossom and magnolia, adding a clean, almost fabric-softener-like freshness. As it settles, a delicious praline and vanilla sweetness emerges, wrapped in soft musk and creamy sandalwood, creating a warm and inviting gourmand drydown that lingers for ages.
