Our verdict on Oud Abramad: Statement

This one's a divisive beast. For some, it's a magnificent, smooth oud. For others, it's a trip to a barnyard or grandma's spice cupboard. It's a challenging wear, but if you're into dry, smoky, woody oud with a strong spice kick, you might just love it.

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, heavy oud and spicy profile, with some finding it 'intense' and 'overpowering', Oud Abramad isn't ideal for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines in evening scenarios, particularly formal events or intimate dates, where its rich character can be appreciated.

About

Oud Abramad opens with a dry, fiery hit of saffron and spicy ginger, quickly ushering in a heart of potent cumin and a whisper of rose. The base is where the action is, with a robust amber, woody oud, and smoky incense character. Think less barnyard and more ancient, spice-filled temples, rounded out by a leathery, balsamic warmth.
