Ard Al Zaafaran Fakhar Al Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Fakhar Al Oud settles into a heart of Balsam, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Ard Al Zaafaran's Fakhar Al Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Fakhar Al Oud is a deep, woody, and intensely polarising scent. You'll either get sophisticated oud and spice or something akin to bug spray or petrol. It's affordable, performs like a beast, and is definitely not for the faint of heart or a blind buy.

Given its intense projection and longevity, this isn't suitable for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. It's better suited for formal evenings or cooler weather, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming those around you. Several reviewers mention its strength, advising against more than two sprays.

About

Opens with an immediate hit of woody spice, featuring prominent saffron and nutmeg before a deep plunge into a forest of guaiac wood, cedar, and sandalwood. The heart is enriched by earthy patchouli and balsamic notes, subtly underlined by jasmine. It settles into a warm, creamy drydown of vanilla, amber, tonka bean and a soft musk, with the woods still lingering prominently throughout its exceptional longevity.
