TF OUD WOOD ON STEROIDS!!!

I got this beautiful frag today and I love everything about it! Yes. It shares similar notes (from top to base notes) with TF Oud Wood, but this Oud al Emarat is spicier, woodier and more intense with some animalic-leathery undertones!

This is some TF Oud Wood on steroids. It's longer lasting and given its pricing points, you stand to gain more value wise as Oud al Emarat by BlendOud is available in 75ml vs. 50ml of TF Oud Wood!

Cardamom bomb

I don’t understand why people bashing this parfum. people criticizing this doesn’t have any clue about cardamom or oud.it has also nothing to do with oud wood, it doesn’t even try to be oud wood. This is totally miss leading information. One person gives that wrong information, now everyone compares them. If you are not into oud or Middle Eastern parfums simply stay a away. Your dislike for certain notes doesn’t make this parfum bad.
This starts very strong peppery cardamom accord and same accord stays till end. There are some woody notes.Dominant note is cardamom but not oud. Only dry down it gets little sweeter with vanilla and tonka. It is loud and very long lasting.

No spice or Cardamom

I saw a review grating the scent as a 5. I still wanted to try and ordered a decant. I regret I haven't believed that review.

The sillage and longevity are very powerful. But if the scent is unpleasant, this is a recipe for disaster. Hours and hours of cloying smell on your skin.

Yes, it at the distance, reminded me of TF Oud Wood, but dirtier and with some artificial fresh that might be coming from the disguised cardamom (that I can't capture at all TBH). The sweet is not delicate and round but rather annoying.

Unfortunately, a no go. Gramma vibes.

OW on steroids

Tom Ford Oud Wood on steroids for sure, nice oud cardamom bomb, beautiful sillage and good longevity. definitely recommended for TF alternative, 160 EUR for full bottle is not cheap but worth trying out. Enjoyed wearing in the last week. Im curious of different batches as people might complain about this and that , but in general its a good perfume

Black

Black fragrances have always fascinated me. To eliminate misunderstandings right from the start: I am talking about the color that a fragrance conjures up in my mind's eye. I have long understood that when searching for black fragrances, I should not pay attention to the packaging or the label "Black." I know the problem from painting. Many seemingly deep and rich blacks inevitably break down into their components when applied or diluted, and then they are no longer black but violet, brownish, or midnight blue. I experience something similar with fragrances. A good example is Aoud Black by Montale; here I perceive a rather disturbing violet-red note, a hint from the rose.
I truly find fragrances like Oud-Royal by Armani Privée, Gao by Xerjoff, or Black Tourmaline by Olivier Durbano to be black, as well as the Oud Al-Emarat by Blend Oud discussed here, which seems to be unknown or unowned by anyone here or on Fragrantica.
I don't own it either, but Harlekino, who buys his perfumes by scent without any distracting background knowledge. On him, Oud Al-Emarat smells wonderful, but for me, despite having a rather harsh perfume taste for a woman, it is a bit too masculine.
The reason no one seems to know this fragrance here is probably because the Italian brand Blend Oud is not available in Germany at all, according to their website. We found it in Turin at the perfumery "Niche." A wonderful perfumery in a city unspoiled by tourism, which is worth a trip just for its spectacular Egyptian museum.
Oud Al-Emarat is like an Arabian night. Black, warm, velvety, spicy, intense, and sexy. In my mind's eye, I see skyscrapers blinking in the distance. The typically oriental sweetness is wisely restrained, giving the fragrance, along with the skyscrapers, a highly welcome touch of modernity. There is nothing artificial that bothers me, and I perceive the used fragrance materials as valuable. Dominating for me is a mysterious, peppery, and dark vetiver, softly and comfortably embedded in vanilla and amber. I do not perceive a remarkable scent progression, the sillage is moderate, the longevity is good, and the packaging is a dream - in black, of course.
