Warda al oud

A deep red, almost velvety rose oud fragrance. It is classically oriental, yet not too sweet but rather spicy and earthy. It lasts forever on the skin and develops a warm, almost balsamic softness over time. For lovers of traditional oud rose, this is a true must-have; I can recommend it to anyone who prefers oil!

The Rise of the Oud Stars?

an attar from XerJoff - exciting. I often couldn’t connect much with the regular fragrances, and I found some from the sister label Sospiro quite disgusting. However, the "Oud Stars" of the brand are and have been for me fragrances with an authenticity and quality of scent materials that are rarely found. Nevertheless, the fragrances always maintained a certain structure and elegance while I wore them, illuminating the Oud between authentic oriental and western aspects.

Warda al Oud is now distinctly more oriental. The scent is permeated by a typical XerJoff slightly sweaty-animalistic Oud note - however, compared to, for example, Zafar and Najaf, it is used more subtly, which should make access easier. This is accompanied by a combination of rose, bergamot, jasmine, and vanilla, which reminds me a bit of floral, red fruit compote in this combination. Very (red) fruity; yet dark-floral with a slight vanilla touch. That sounds strange, but it smells totally elegant. Over time, Warda al Oud becomes woodier and noticeably drier, which makes it appear even more noble.

Warda al Oud is quite sweet at the start, but fortunately not sticky - also due to the contrast of the Oud note. Especially towards the base, it has distinctly woody-dry-floral accents. It is also cozy, yet not gourmand. It is not overwhelming, but unusual. I can feel comfortable with it right now and believe that users who are not overly sensitive to Oud could find a true rarity here, inviting for cuddling, while still appearing noble and even a little bit naughty ;).

Refined cambodian oud, with bitter roses creates a beautiful composition surrounded by jasmine and osmanthus with a citrus opening. Stunning

Berry-sweet in the beginning, becomes vanilla-caramelly and dense after some time, with beautiful Oud as a balance to sweetness.

Musky rose with nuclear projection. Very pleasant to wear on its own or for layering, the materials scream with quality

Here, the oud is completely drowned in a floral cocoa jam blend. Oud for snacking, I would have preferred the light version.

Rose? Definitely. And the fullest, most delicious one you'll ever find. Perfectly balanced by Oud & companions. Goosebumps.

Can't get enough of this scent. Oud and rose - spicy and soapy.

On my skin, it's quite "soapy-cool" without warmth...
Nice, but nothing more.
What a pity, I really expected much more...

To me, it smells like working on a construction site for 8 hours, taking off your socks, putting them in water, and letting them dry.
nUnfortunately disappointing.
