Oud Hammer
I've had the fragrance for just under a year now and I'll give you some brief feedback
I tested - and ultimately bought - the fragrance in Oman. As always, I tested lots of fragrances in the Abdul store back then, and it was quickly on my hit list. And ultimately went home with me. In contrast to many Middle East purchases, which then left my collection again because I never or rarely wore them, the Oud Rich Arabic is used frequently.
Why? Simply because it smells interesting and develops beautifully.
But both the start and the entire fragrance are not for the faint-hearted and especially not for wearers who don't like woody fragrances.
The fragrance starts with an exorbitant blast of oud (I wear a lot of oud oils, here it is a minimally synthetic start, which is somehow clear given the price). Woody, resinous, "smoky" somehow, but primarily woody. So quite comparable to a fragrant furniture polish.
Floral, soft, spicy, tart or even fresh, it's miles away. Full can of wood and oud.
After the bomb has been detonated, the dust settles after about half an hour. Then the "newly laid wooden floor smell" has evaporated and for me everything goes a little in the direction of the "Afgano clan". So not a twin of the Black Afgano (I have that myself and also the Taif Al Emarat - Year of Zayed), but it goes in the resinous, creaky direction.
You might think you hear a little bit of herb, a little bit of smoke and also something a bit more cuddly like sandalwood. But only the hints of it, the fragrance is and remains one of the woodiest oud fragrances I know.
All in all, only for oud lovers. But they can enjoy a rather unique, powerful and wearable Oudian. And because it always seems so important to many, the fragrance is not animalic at all. It's more like distilled wood from agarwood, if that makes sense.
Very nice.
