Our verdict on Oud Al Abid: Statement

This one's a proper spicy-sweet Middle Eastern affair. Divisive, for sure - it's got a definite vibe that won't be for everyone, so try before you commit.

About

Oud Al Abid kicks off with a rich, inviting burst of saffron and cinnamon, spiced up with a jammy rose. It then melts into a gooey caramel heart, underpinned by earthy patchouli. The dry-down is all about that creamy ambroxan, adding a modern, smooth finish to the traditional oud-like warmth without being overly heavy. It's warm, sweet, and undeniably bold.
