Perfume Parlour Oud Café is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Oud Café opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Coffee, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Oud Café carries a Statement verdict, a coffee-led wear.

A budget take on Kayali Oudgasm Café Oud 19. The dark-roast coffee opening warming into creamy oud and vanilla captures the original's cafe-meets-oud gourmand; this dupe loses some of the bitter-coffee depth and the EDP Intense's longevity, wearing softer and sweeter.

About

Oud Café chases Kayali's Oudgasm Café Oud 19, the coffee entry in the cult oud collection. It opens with a rich cappuccino-coffee note, dark and faintly bitter, brightened by bergamot and mandarin - the freshly-brewed top the original is named for. The heart adds a soft floral lift of geranium and rose to keep the coffee from turning one-note. The drydown is its cosy heart: creamy oud rounded with white musk, sweet vanilla and earthy patchouli, intimate and a little alluring. Where the Kayali is an Eau de Parfum Intense that can run eight to ten hours with a deep coffee-and-oud drydown, this dupe keeps the coffee-oud story but reads sweeter and flatter, trimming the bitter dark-roast depth and the original's tenacity, settling closer to the skin sooner. It remains a cosy, sophisticated coffee-oud gourmand - warm, sweet and a touch mysterious - that suits cooler-weather evenings, an affordable budget stand-in for the Kayali.
