Swiss Arabian Oud Maknoon is an Eau de Parfum. Oud Maknoon opens with Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oud. Swiss Arabian's Oud Maknoon carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a beast mode oud-rose bomb that divides opinion like no other. Some find it beautiful and sophisticated, while others recoil from its sheer intensity. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a challenging scent.

About

Oud Maknoon opens with a potent blast of pepper, quickly followed by a rich, jammy rose. As it settles, a nuanced, non-skanky oud emerges, intertwining with warm amber and musky undertones. Hints of citrus and fruity notes lend an unexpected lightness to this otherwise dense and commanding fragrance, creating a complex and ever-unfolding scent journey.
