Oudgasm Chocolate Oud | 11 Kayali 2025

A delicious warm and woody unisex fragrance. I usually don’t love oud heavy fragrances but I actually get more frankincense than I do oud here. It also has a light booziness and overall it reminds me a lot of Angels' Share Paradis . I get a light sweetness but it comes more from the orris root rather than chocolate or apple, which I actually don't smell much of at all. Has moderate sillage but only lasts about 4 hours on me. It definitely smells similar to the Angels' Share Eau de Parfum family, but I find the original sweeter while this is much woodier and closer to the Paradis flanker.

What a wonderful fragrance!

When my Kayali Vanilla Oud was almost empty recently, I ordered Chocolate Oud on a whim because I had read that it was supposed to resemble Angel's Share. And I have to say: bull's-eye! At least for me. Anyone expecting chocolate and cocoa because of the name will probably be disappointed. But if you want a dreamy winter fragrance in the style of the perfume mentioned above, you might fall head over heels in love with it, just like I did.

Yes, it is like AS, but softer, more feminine, less alcoholic.
I couldn't even say which notes I pick up most clearly - it's the combination that works for me here. Immediately after spraying, it is primarily baked apple, and vanilla and cocoa come through relatively quickly as well. But I only smell these individual notes when I hold my nose directly to my wrist.
What is much better: while I move, I am repeatedly enveloped by an incredibly delicious scent cloud of - I have to put it this cheesily - autumn magic, Christmas markets, cozy warmth and comfort.

Despite these almost nostalgic notes that bring childhood and Christmas celebrations to mind, I also find the fragrance quite sexy (which is certainly due to the oud, musk and woods). I constantly want to keep smelling it, it simply makes me happy!

Unimaginable in summer (unfortunately, since I would love to wear it CONSTANTLY), now in autumn it gives me a wonderfully secure, relaxed, confident feeling.

The longevity is great on me; especially directly on the skin, it lasts a good eight hours, while on clothing it seems to last somewhat less - it and I, or rather my skin chemistry, apparently go together fantastically.

I ordered 10 ml and actually want to order the large bottle IMMEDIATELY - I am already afraid that it might no longer be available at some point. Three days together and already so in love!

I researched the fragrance beforehand and therefore did not buy it with the expectation of smelling a lot of chocolate. My hope was that it would actually smell a bit like Angels Share, as I love that perfume, but it’s just too expensive for me...
So, I ordered chocolate oud blind on Black Friday; so far, all my blind buys have been a waste.
However, I loved this scent immediately upon the first sniff. It is of course not as refined and complex as Angels Share, but it smells wonderfully of winter and Christmas time to me. Although it has relatively many notes, it remains quite linear to my nose. This does not bother me at all in this case, as I find the combination of apple, rum, and cinnamon wonderful.
The projection could be better for a gourmand scent; I need quite a few sprays for my surroundings to perceive it. At the same time, it remains pleasantly unobtrusive despite its sweetness.

For anyone who loves Angels Share, it is definitely a safe purchase!

Does anyone even like cinnamon gum, can you still buy it?

When Kayali started the promotion for "Chocolate Oud" on Instagram, I thought dreams were coming true: as a Kayali and chocolate fan, I was sure that soon the next addictive fragrance would be on my shelf. They showed pralines, chocolate fountains, mousse au chocolat...
And what do I get?
When I shake my hair and am lucky: cinnamon baked apple with incense and oud. If I'm unlucky: cinnamon gum.

Where is my chocolate party? My chocolate ecstasy??

On the skin, the fragrance is always a bit different; it starts with a fruity apple that becomes more of a cinnamon baked apple than a candied one. A hint of rum, also somehow fruity. Cinnamon is omnipresent and from start to finish, the most dominant note, combined with the specified woods it leans towards licorice. After 5 minutes, some incense joins in; it remains fruity, but at that point it shifts a bit towards synthetic and thus to this cinnamon gum. With great effort, I can imagine a small dry cocoa hint after 15 minutes.

The fragrance is not generally bad, but it simply does not meet the expectations that come with the name and marketing. It would have been better as "Oudgasm - Cinnamon Gum Oud". I really hope Mona tries the chocolate route again with more success.
