Sweet synthetic oud

A pretty tame Western-style synthetic oud, slightly medicinal and dull, boosted by ultra-sweet sharp maltol, drying down to a basic vanilla. Just doesn't do it for me, especially given the fact that Oud Nude exists and does this so much better, with much higher quality ingredients. The name and bottle are also awkward, with the Atkinson's logo printed twice for some reason, and "Oud Save the King," really? Couldn't find a more punny, dad-joke name?

Nice gourmandy oud with suede!

It was a blind buy for me with the Black Friday deal. I’d heard Sebastian talked about it and always wanted to try it. I love it at the first sniff and so glad that I got it. It’s smoothly blended with the suede, sandalwood, and vanilla. I can definitely detect slight hint of the oud and tea notes. It is more like a gourmandish oud and oriental fragrance with strong suede accord in it. I love suede and I think it’s the suede and tea that makes it so smooth and soft. It last very long on my perfume eating skin but with weak to moderate projection. Need a few more sprays to enhance the projection. I never smelled the 24 Gold that you all talked about but this is definitely a quality adorable and my kind of scent with great value. For a quality niche fragrance, its price is very ok. It is a 8.5/10 for me.

Saccharin Oud

Smelling Oud Save The King feels like slowly sinking into the cushion of a big, comfy sofa, the prominent suede and oud notes just so smooth and velvety, perfectly supported by sweet orris and creamy sandalwood. Sadly the top notes are nowhere to be found, and without that bergamot the blend becomes a tad cloying and overwhelming after a while. Throughout its lifespan it remains a slightly warm, elegant fragrance but also a bit linear or lacking an exciting edge to it.

Still, Oud Save The King could be an apt scent for those who want to get started with agarwood fragrances that aren't dark or demanding, but it may not provide the "authentic oud" fix to more experienced noses.

A Cozy, Chocolatey Oud

I'm surprised more people aren't picking up on the chocolatey nuances in this fragrance! The powdery, suede-like oud combined with the tea note creates a deep, almost chocolate-like aroma. While some describe it as an old-fashioned woody scent, I find it too creamy and soft for that. I suspect the orris is responsible for this smooth, almost chocolatey powderiness – it's a note that can lean that way on my skin (think Dior Homme or even a hint of Flowerbomb Dew).
This isn't your typical heavy, masculine oud. It's soft and wearable, even for someone who usually prefers girly florals. The oud adds a touch of complexity, a subtle animalic quality, but it doesn't overpower the creamy, suede-like core. The tea note is quite faint, but I've found layering it with bergamot essential oil enhances that aspect beautifully. This fragrance is perfect for a cozy day of studying at a coffee shop or library.

Sweet, dry, and powdery

This is a simplistic and linear scent, just sweet oud, dry and powdery. For me it's too sweet and sickly, especially in the beginning. It's also very dry, flat, and warm, so it might be good for cold and wet weather, in which it could prove cozy. I don't know that many oud fragrances, but this reminds me of Avon Absolute By Elite Gentleman in its singular focus. Oud Save The King is smoother and not as rough. Whatever roughness there is, it comes from suede. I can't smell any tea or bergamot in it. They say it's an EDP, but performance is on an EDT level. The bottle fits the scent well. If you want to smell like you've covered yourself in golden glitter, this is your perfume. If you have higher ambitions for your sweet adventure, I'd suggest Prada Luna Rossa Black for dry and sweet, or any number of other sweet fragrances, for example Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Extreme or Cartier L'Envol EDP.
