Oudi

Ard Al Zaafaran Oudi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Oudi settles into a heart of Cedar, Amber, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Musk. Ard Al Zaafaran's Oudi carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Prepare for a scent that defies expectations and divides opinions like no other. Oudi is a potent, unashamedly woody beast that's either deeply adored or utterly detested; there's no middle ground with this one. Wear it at your own risk, but be ready for a unique, commanding presence.

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

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'nuclear' projection and 'everlasting' longevity, Oudi is far too intense for office or even date settings unless applied with extreme caution. It's best reserved for casual, outdoor, or cultural experiences where its unique, powerful woody character can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.

About

Oudi unfurls with a deep, dark woody core, saturated with an almost animalic oud that dominates the composition. Beneath this powerful opening, warm amber and a hint of cinnamon provide a rich, spicy warmth. The dry down settles into an earthy blend of sandalwood and oakmoss, softened by a musky undertone, creating a linear, intensely woody experience.
