I must confess that Oud Yusuf is the most beautiful oud perfumes I have ever smelt. The high concentration of essential oils gives it an unparalleled texture, and the fragrance it produces, a fusion of fruity and woody aromas, adds more to its lure.

Yusuf is called the most “feminine” of Ensar’s offerings. I would still call it unisex, if not slightly masculine. It packs a powerful birch-punch that balances the tangy grape juiciness. The camphor perennially shimmers over moist, trodden tree bark rotting fragrantly on the jungle floor.

A benchmark Oud Perfume
This review is for the OG Oud Yusuf Pure Parfum.

Oud Yusuf Parfum. A benchmark Oud perfume. The oil is a different story. Not my style, as I prefer "wiser" Oud Oils for my swiping sessions. For me, the parfum version delivers what the oil could not. And going back to what Ensar said, if there was one oud oil to be used in a spray perfume, it was Oud Yusuf.

If I were to keep one Oud perfume, it would be Oud Yusuf.
If I were to recommend one Oud perfume to anyone, it would be Oud Yusuf.
If someone tells me they hate Oud with a passion because they were lied to and olfactory assaulted by the commercial Oud junk accords, I would enlighten them with one spray of Oud Yusuf.
I would have them close their eyes, spray it on their wrist, and have them inhale with their eyes closed. And just like that, witness how their whole Oud world built on lies crumbles. They see the light and are reborn. I'm considering doing this experiment, as I am sick of hearing nonsense about how Oud smells like this and that from people who never tried something as pristine, as Angelic, as Oud Yusuf.
One doesn't need to be versed in artisanal oud oils to appreciate this beauty. It would appeal to anyone who loves all things fragrant. Like walking into a well-kept garden full of flowers. It's something that would find appreciation even among people not initiated into the art of olfaction.

Oud Yusuf parfum is a benchmark Oud perfume. For one, it was Ensar's first true Oud perfume. Second, it came on the market offering an alternative universe to what all the other Oud perfumes offered, and still do today.
Now, even though the main star of the show here is Oud, present front and center, clear as day, throughout the lifespan of the fragrance, it is embellished with a very well-chosen mix of aromatics that complement its profile. They never distract from the main character, only help to showcase its facets further. And I feel here is where the Parfum triumphs over the oil. The latter is great, yet in the parfum, the oud opens up more, and due to the aromatics used alongside, it paints a more colorful picture, brighter, livelier, and full of buzz. Something the oil never did for me, not in the same way, for sure.
The opening is lush, bright, and juicy. Ripe apricots and peaches, juicy citruses, and warm spices embrace you in a golden-hued aura and immediately transport you into the middle of nature. Pure, pristine, naked.
The heart showcases various floral accords such as Lilacs, Tuberose, Jasmine, Frangipani, and Osmanthus. I pick up facets of all these florals. There is also a prominent green chord running through the heart of the perfume alongside the florals and the oud. You're in the Garden of Eden, and oud is flowing from its fountains.
The base is deep, brownish, thick, and oleoresinous. Oud, oud, and more oud for many hours to come. Even after the flowers wither and the juicy, sparkling fruits and spices disappear, the oud continues to push further. Deep and resinous, highly satisfying.

As I said before, this perfume is all about the oud. The other elements are minor embellishments. It is an oud-forward perfume, make no mistake about it. Anyone familiar with neat oud oils would easily recognize that.
One of the best EO perfumes in my book. A legendary one, for good reason. If I could marry an oud, it'd be Oud Yusuf.

Quality first
A terribly qualitative perfume...

In any case, Ensar Oud has accustomed us to release perfumes of this type, the house has nothing more to prove
It is a pure Oud that will necessarily please lovers of oriental

There is still a certain sweetness, its animal side does not go in the direction of the smell of stables, it is much more distinguished, it probably comes from vanilla and iris root
A very nice discovery, which may hurt very much the wallet

Masterpiece of Oud
If I were to recommend a fragrance based on real oud to someone so that they would know what it really is, it would definitely be Oud Yusuf. Seemingly linear, but with lots of flavors that are constantly released from the skin.
A beautiful, clean oud scent. I also know him from an oud sample that Areej once added to The History of Oud series.
A deep scent that lingers beautifully on the skin.
Masterpiece!

A scent to kneel down in
Oud Yusuf

A scent to kneel down in. A scent that carries me, a fluid that warms me, protects me and evokes deep relaxation in the twinkling of an eye.
I use it when a day is particularly exhausting, when I just want to find deep rest.
To describe a single essence as perfume is basically an antagonism.
By chance, I've seen that Oud Yusuf is listed here as perfume.

To be honest, I didn't expect this, because it's a raw material, an ingredient for perfume production for me.

I have been using Ensar Oud's various oud oils in the MGO fragrance factory for years to pay due respect to my fragrances, if they are oud perfumes.

So when is a perfume a perfume and not just a scent? I think this is the case when a fragrance is recognizable, when different phases and developments take place. To describe a perfume, therefore, is also composed of the perception of this course of fragrance.

Typical of the smell, the top note.
In Oud Yusuf's perception this is slightly animalistic, earthy, strong, at no time faecal.
The description, annoying or unpleasant, is definitely out of the question here.

It is for me one of the best and also for western noses suitable Oudduft which one can buy for money.
The heart note can be called floral, a little metallic and slightly spicy. In the base this fragrance spreads over hours a gourmand note reminiscent of good old sandalwood.

As described at the beginning, I occasionally treat myself to the pleasure of using this fragrance solo.
Otherwise, Oud Yusuf and other Ensar varieties are regularly used in my perfumes.

I am firmly convinced that, in addition to the head, heart and basis with such qualities, the "soul" component will be incorporated into a perfume.

There are a number of excellent and varied oud varieties at Ensar, all of which are certainly uniquely good and many of which have moved in with me.
Unfortunately, the available quantities are always sold quickly and the perfumes produced with them can never be repeated.
I need to get to Ensar's side real quick and see what's left to get.

I can only strongly recommend every oud interested to also add a few grams of this divine scent.
But please wait until I order right away. -:)

After a sweet and resinous spicy-floral opening, this warm and musky, oriental floral-woody fragrance, settles to a dry earthy-woody base.
