Assaf Oud Bakhur is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Maxime Exler. Oud Bakhur opens with Spicy Notes, Herbal, and Incense, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Amber, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Balsam, and Resins. Assaf's Oud Bakhur carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Seriously divisive. This is potent stuff, a true oud powerhouse that some will adore and others will run from. Not for the faint of heart, it's a bold statement that demands attention and probably a bit of an acquired taste.

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.

About

Oud Bakhur opens with a fierce blast of spicy incense and herbal notes, immediately setting a dark, mystical tone. The heart unfurls into a rich, woody and amber core, dominated by a raw, almost animalic oud. As it dries down, a thick, smoky balsamic resin emerges, swirling with further depth and intensity. It's a heady, intoxicating journey into the world of traditional Middle Eastern perfumery.
