More than a classic raspberry oud - but no camel!
The name "camel oud" is a bit of a stretch here. You get oud in moderation and the animalistic nature of a camel anyway - who came up with this name?
Anyway - to get away from what the fragrance isn't, here's some information on what to expect from it: Alongside the classic raspberry oud DNA, as we know it from countless competitors (e.g. Sillage, "Sapphire Collection - London | Widian / AJ Arabia", Infusion Velours Eau de Parfum, to name but a few), there is an oriental spiciness, characterized primarily by cardamom, caraway and balanced saffron.

The oud here is not animalic and only slightly smoky. It tends primarily in a leathery direction, which is reinforced by the other woods and cardamom. All of this is finely rounded off with the help of elemi resin, which adds a balsamic note.

The (somewhat refreshing) warmth that emanates from it creates a fragrance experience that is truly worthy of the title. Over time, the fruitiness of the raspberry recedes into the background and clears the stage for the spices (caraway, cardamom, saffron), which gratefully accept this opportunity and unfold their full potential.

Accordingly, the "Camel Oud | Sora Dora" is a finely tuned, worthy competitor for other raspberry oud fragrances. In addition to the raspberry oud side, you get an oriental spiciness that gives the fragrance its tension and makes it a unique creation. It only falls short of its competitors in terms of durability and sillage (although not far behind). Nevertheless, great respect to this relatively young niche brand for its exciting creations, which are definitely worth a test.

Hello darkness my old friend..
This fragrance was my favorite from the SORADORA range and let me tell you why is that so.

My favorite designer fragrances ever is sadly discontinued Gucci Pour Homme I, I am just mesmerized by what Michel Almairac did there!

Kamel Oud is definitely not a clone and not a copy of GPHI buuuut they do share a similar DNA. KO is probably one of the most inoffensive fragrances with "oud" in it's name that I ever encountered. From the quick chat with one of the guys from SORADORA crew, I was given an impression that what they wanted to accomplish with this one was exactly that! To create dense but not off-putting, likeable and wearable westernized oud fragrance where oud doesn't scream fecal, barnyard or even animalic, so for all of the hardcore oud or animalic lovers, you can skip this one! Buuut if you dig cumin, you're in for a threat! Because every illusion of animalic nuances here is coming exactly from-cumin. Big blast of cumin and pink pepper is what I'm getting right off the bat, which is followed by elemi and saffron and of course the two main players papyrus and that pencil shaving-cedar! Laotian oud is there to keep things interesting!

But this fragrance do smells opulent and regal, dark and dry...sometimes two dimensional and sometimes three or even four dimensional, it depends on the temperature, but I like it just the way it is! I am wearing the heck out of it and I can definitely recommend you to at least try it for yourself!

This smells like more (westernized) oud amped Gucci Pour Homme I. You got that peppery elemi right from the start, cumin, papyrus and cedar!

Personally it reminds me a great deal of GUCCI PH1. You get a fresh spicy, aromatic drydown with woody baseline. Good quality indeed.
