Fresh Woody and Spicy

Oud Assam by Abdul Karim Al Faransi

Notes: Indian Spices, Mint, Sandalwood, Agarwood Oil from Assam and Wet Wood

This is blended very well, starts of with spices and mint but somehow this reminds me of Jubilation by Amouage, it's not harsh or animalic at all. Lovely and Gorgeous. In the drydown Sandalwood is more prominent to my nose, i also get hints of Patchouli which gives it that sweet, musky and earthy scent.

Overall a very lovely scent, with great sillage and amazing performance.

When you wish for a more stable Oud

One of the initial reasons for placing a sample order with MAM was the scent Oud Assam. Indian oud, mint, sandalwood, and patchouli - 4 fragrance notes that I really enjoy. However, I would like to explain why other scents from the house have excited me more.

Oud Assam plays with impressions from the Indian region, specifically, the eastern Indian province of Assam serves as inspiration. The subtropical region bordering Myanmar is known for producing intensely animalic and stable oud distillates. Combined with a few selected Indian spices, sandalwood, mint, and patchouli, this promises to be quite an intriguing scent, if it weren't for a few weaknesses. The first concerns the oud itself. Indian oud can indeed smell very animalic, almost fecal, but unfortunately, it does not do so here. Some may highlight this as a positive point, as it significantly increases wearability. In my opinion, there could be a decent portion of animalic notes, especially when playing with the theme of Indian oud. The second point involves the listed Indian spices. Normally, I am a big fan of thoroughly spicy scents; however, here the spice blend drifts too much into the uncoordinated, resulting in a strong curry or Maggi note. This impression unfortunately overshadows all the nuances of the entire top note until the spices gradually recede and reintegrate into the overall composition. The third weakness is clearly the performance. Within an hour, it is only close to the skin, and after two more hours, it is almost gone. And that is truly a shame, because although the spice note initially seems somewhat disturbing and the oud (in my opinion) could be a bit more stable, the very natural mint, earthy patchouli, and creamy sandalwood create a pleasantly fresh-woody scent with oriental and earthy nuances. It just doesn't last long.

Despite these points, Oud Assam is not a bad scent; there are simply significantly better implementations from this house to try.
