Arabian Oud Tarteel Gold is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Tarteel Gold opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Iris, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Patchouli, and Vanilla.

This is a truly opulent Middle Eastern rose and oud, surprisingly approachable despite its richness. A refined crowd-pleaser that delivers luxury without the animalics often found in traditional oud scents.

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.

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.

About

Opens with a bright, citrusy saffron and bergamot, quickly transitioning to a heart of jammy rose and warm cinnamon. The orange blossom and iris add a soft, powdery elegance before the deep base emerges. Here, a smooth, non-challenging oud intertwines with creamy vanilla, earthy patchouli, and a whisper of ambergris, creating a luxurious and enduring finish.
