Oud

The Spirit of Dubai Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Oud opens with Bergamot, Lime, Lavender, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Oud, Tobacco, and Leather. The Spirit of Dubai's Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a proper, in-your-face Arabic oud, divisive and not for the faint-hearted. If you want barnyard skank, you're in the right place, but be warned: a couple of sprays and you might just clear the room. A beast through and through.

Its nuclear performance and strong animalic oud make it entirely unsuitable for office wear and too overwhelming for most casual settings. However, its immense sillage and luxurious character make it a commanding choice for formal events and dates, particularly if you want to make a powerful, unforgettable statement.

About

Opens with an intense, barnyard oud blast, softened by pineapple and saffron, before transitioning to a leathery, woody heart. The dry-down is rich and complex, a blend of tobacco, an earthy sweetness from vanilla and tonka, resting on a deep amber-musk base. This is Middle Eastern opulence in a bottle, not for wallflowers, boasting a journey from petrol to a refined, animalic warmth.
