Swiss Arabian Oud Al Ghutra is an Eau de Parfum. Oud Al Ghutra opens with Grapefruit, Lavender, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Leather, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Oud and Ambergris. Swiss Arabian's Oud Al Ghutra carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a real love-it-or-hate-it beast. If you can push past the notoriously challenging opening, a genuinely intriguing and potent oud-leather journey awaits. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it rave about its unique character.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

Built on animalic, woody and tobacco - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection and challenging animalic opening make it a poor choice for the office, where subtlety is key. However, its bold, luxurious character makes it suitable for formal events or evening dates, provided you and your company appreciate a strong oud. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

Oud Al Ghutra kicks off with an unapologetic blast of animalic oud, interwoven with the fresh, slightly bitter edge of grapefruit and the herbaceous touch of artemisia. As it settles, a rich, warm heart of spicy tobacco and rugged leather emerges, giving it a deeply masculine and complex core. The dry-down delivers a lasting embrace of smoky oud and smooth ambergris, rounding out its intense, woody character with a hint of sweetness.
