Soft oriental megamare
I tested this perfume today in Birmingham...
When I tested it, I immediately recognised the DNA of the fragrance.
I knew the DNA was of a perfume I knew but could place it...

I wanted to know what DNA it was, and I read the review of darioargento below...
He nailed it... The DNA is of that of megamare, but less harsh and smoother blended.
The feeling I get with stellar oud is...
A more oriental version megamare.
Soft Aquatic, soft salty, and like a leathery accord.. not a harsh leather but more like a suede-leather... If that makes since.

Now +-6 hours ago that I tested it by 3 sprays on my wrist and still very detectable.
Even when I move my arm, I smell it in the air around me...

This is a good and likeable perfume... If megamare is to harsh to your nose, but you like the DNA, then try this one... Big chance you will like this more...

Quality-price this is 9/10

Khadlaj has some very good clones, or inspired by perfumes... This is one of them...

Also try their amouage reflection version... It's a banger

Half a day by the sea
Unfortunately, I don't know the original yet and therefore can't compare it. But from what I've read, it's supposed to be very intense and long-lasting, which is a very good thing, especially in summer.

The bottle is a little chunky, but makes a sturdy impression. As with many of Khadlaj's fragrances, the sprayer should be emphasized, which again does a very good job.

The fragrance starts off very salty and somehow also slightly "fishy", which overwhelmed me a little the first few times. However, this then subsides somewhat and blends very nicely into a fine freshness that accompanies you very well through half the day at high temperatures. The "oud" remains discreetly in the background here, which I personally really like.

The longevity is definitely good for a fresh fragrance.

For just around 15 euros, Khadlaj gives you a special summer fragrance that makes you think of a vacation by the sea and is nothing off the shelf.

Cheap Hidden Gem!
Blind purchases. Sometimes experiences that make you feel as if you've just stepped into a fresh cowpat and reproach yourself for your own carelessness. And there are experiences like this!
In principle, woody-fresh sounded like a funny combination, but why not try something new.

No sooner said than done. I'm thrilled, on a scale of 1 to 10 at about 11. What comes out of the best spray head of all time (I've never really experienced anything as good as it) reminds me of Oud Wood, even if this woody beach dweller is more salty-floral due to the iris and less creamy. It also has something of Wood Infusion by G&B, but is not so sweet and fruity, but more elegant and masculine with perfumey-floral marine associations. Oud itself is only present with a lot of imagination, but doesn't really play a role.
Now for the next treat, it has an exceptionally good H/S, an aspect that otherwise regularly spoils good fragrances for me. And because that's not enough: it costs a ridiculous €18. I would spend three times as much, a great Cheapie, without annoying synthetic overtones.

Now for the less than ideal aspects. The bottle is brown, the color of which evokes associations in me that should not necessarily be explained in detail on this page. Let's leave it at that, even this glittering stone with its clitoral silliness should never have seen the light of day.

In fact, blind buy recommendation for all lumberjacks who like to spend a day by the sea.

Megamare light or... The cruise to the Wannsee
Pack your swimming trunks, take your Stellar Oudilein and then get out to Wannsee!

Megamare by Orto Parisi divides the perfume world.

For some it is a revelation with infinite power, for others it is pure disgust with an almost endlessly fishy cloud of stink.

If you read up a little on the subject, there are rather few opinions that say: Megamare is ok. The majority tends towards top or flop.

To be honest, my test of Megamare would also have been rather sobering. My sample was enough for me to say...nope. I don't have to have it.
Nevertheless, the fragrance had something in it that I wanted. Since I like aquatic fragrances, it must have been the perfectly realized aquatic note. The rest just wasn't mine.

If you - like me - would like Megamare in a more subtle form and perhaps with a little twist, then Stellar Oud might be something for you.

Let's start with the bottle.
It looks great, much better than in the pictures. Noble, heavy and a real eye-catcher.

The sprayer is a smooth 10 out of 10, as it distributes a super fine spray mist.
You can't do any better than this.

Let's move on to the fragrance itself.

First impression: Megamare...100%.
Second impression: Momang, how awesome did Khadlaj put the bergamot in the top note?
This has already negated the unpleasant algae-fishy touch for many.
It's not completely gone, it's just moved into the background and let the bergamot do its thing.

This decision by the perfumer (whoever that is) was spot on.
In one fell swoop, the niche Megamare seems suitable for the masses without pandering to the squeaky-sweet clientele.

Yes, Stellar Oud is a little sweeter, but by no means overly sweet and certainly not synthetic. In general, the perfume is very natural and the salty note has not been removed.
The citrusy-salty combination is also reminiscent of Moroccan salt lemons.

The iris leaves a wonderfully clean, well-groomed impression and a touch of class. Nevertheless, the fragrance remains in the aquatic corner, exactly as intended.

Megamare lovers will probably turn up their noses, as the fragrance has been stripped of the harsh scent of the rough sea.

Now some may ask: What does Stellar Oud have in common with Megamare? I say quite a lot, the fragrance DNA of the great role model is simply completely there and cannot be concealed.
Personally, however, I am very grateful for the adjustments Khadlaj has made, as I can enjoy the benefits of Megamare's perfect aquatics and still wear the fragrance at all times without getting too much at some point due to the brute effect.

Of course, the longevity doesn't come close to the original, so neither does the sillage.

This does not mean that Stellar Oud is a weakling.
On the contrary, for an aquatic newcomer it has quite some staying power.

I hardly notice any oud here.
Yes, the fragrance becomes beautifully ambery and woody in the drydown, but this is rather lightly woody.

I am appalled by the price of Stellar Oud by Khadlaj.
I simply have no explanation for how you can sell such a valuable fragrance for 14.50 € / 100ml. Plus the packaging and bottle quality.
Sorry, but I can't get my head around that.
Well, my luck, one more fragrance in my collection.

If I have appealed to anyone with my description, please take the opportunity to try Stellar Oud if you get the chance.

My blind purchase was a complete success, I have no regrets ;)

So you can't expect a hardcore rough sea scent here, but a nice trip to a body of water of your choice, without dangers but with lots of fun and good humor.

Have a fragrant day :)

Salty and aquatic with citrus and Khadlaj's signature woody/oud accord, Stellar Oud tames Megamare's intensity for daily wear.

A true Megamare alternative! It's really fresh, aquatic, marine and salty! It shows minor hints of wood, florals and fruits. EXCELLENT!
