Ard Al Zaafaran Oud 24 Hours is an Eau de Parfum. Oud 24 Hours opens with Dark Chocolate, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Fruity Notes, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Ard Al Zaafaran's Oud 24 Hours carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ard Al Zaafaran's Oud 24 Hours is a divisive beast: for some, it's a stellar, budget-friendly dupe of Tom Ford's Black Orchid, offering nuclear performance and a deeply complex scent profile. For others, it's an unwearable, synthetic disaster. This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it rollercoaster.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and heavy, warm-spicy accords make it ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear, as this could overwhelm. It shines brightest in formal and date settings, especially in cooler weather, where its depth and rich character are appreciated and can project well without being stifling.

About

Dive into a deeply sensual embrace of dark chocolate and zesty mandarin, a surprisingly bright start that quickly melts into a rich, spicy heart. Jasmine, gardenia and ylang-ylang contribute opulent white florals before settling on a grounding base of earthy patchouli. It’s a bold, warm scent with an intoxicating, slightly mysterious edge.
