Majestic Special Oud Arabian Oud

Perfume description: The very strong presence of animalistic Oud in the first minutes attracts a noble rose, which then harmonizes wonderfully over the many hours until the perfume fades. The high-quality Oud remains consistently dominant but is somewhat tamed and beautifully rounded by the rose, making it significantly more wearable.

Personal access: During a vacation in Abu Dhabi with an Arab friend, he led me with shining eyes into the chic perfume shop "Arabian Oud." Impressed by the oriental ambiance, we smelled from the atomizers of numerous Oud perfumes. In search of a high-quality and strong Oud, I paused at "Majestic Special Oud" and could hardly detach my nose from the bottle until I finally sprayed it on my wrist. The impact of the Oud left such a deep impression that other perfumes I compared it to seemed uninteresting to me. When a beautiful, not too sweet rose joined the majestic Oud in the drydown, which truly harmonized perfectly with the Oud on my skin, I knew I had found my personal Oud perfume.

Longevity and sillage: The perfume lasts an impressive 12 to 16 hours on my skin and projects for 4 to 6 hours. Even after 2 or 3 days, I can still smell it on the clothes I wore at that time.

Bottle and packaging: The oriental-designed bottle feels heavy in the hand and conveys an overall high-quality impression. Since the metal cap alone weighs almost as much as the bottle including its contents and its base is quite narrow, there is a risk that it may tip over when touched. The packaging is a foldable box adorned with artificial leather on the top, which emphasizes the high-quality impression of the bottle and is suitable for its storage.

Conclusion: The name "Majestic Special Oud" lives up to its promise - it is truly a high-quality Oud, perfectly rounded off by a noble rose. Neither do other ingredients come into play on my skin, nor can I discern a real scent progression. As a newcomer, I still lack the experience for a meaningful comparison with other Oud-rose perfumes.
