I’m a Middle Easterner but hate Oud colognes, reminds me of old men during Eid (Islamic holiday). But when I smelled LV Ombre Nomad I was blown away of how perfectly blended oud was in this fragrance! Bought a bottle full retail & never regretted it 😎
@6:50 Gucci Intense Oud does smell like Black Afgano. And therer's an amazing cheapie in that exact same ballpark: Proraso Wood & Spice Cologne. For anyone baby-stepping into the land of designer ouds I'd say that's probably the absolute best-value entry level option. Proraso also has a Wood & Spice Aftershave with that exact same scent as the Cologne.
Oud Touch is a must have to me. The performance, smell, and price are just too good to pass up. It smells like Oud Ispahan if you're wondering. (I know Ash knows but I'm talking to you reader👁👁)
@@dragonthingy4843 I frequently see bottles of Oud Mosaic at rack stores for around $20. Notably Burlington Coat Factory. I wasn't crapping on Oud Touch though. It's pretty good for such a low price.
Polo Supreme Oud is pretty easy to wear with the cinnamon note. Get it while you can. Another completely under-the-radar oud is Oud Suede by Art of Shaving. I love it.
Smelled SWY Oud yesterday and i am strongly considering picking it up. It would be my first oud fragrance. The oud is present but not overpowering. I pick up a little incense as well and find it to be a medium projecting fragrance.
Versace Oud Noir & Boss Bottled Oud Saffron are my favorite designer ouds (opposite ends of the spectrum). Best oud I have tried though is Odyon Dubai Scorpion Intense. Beast mode turned up to 13. Even wearable in the summer heat.
hi ash, i was wondering if you are willing to do a video (on Extra Gent Scents or your main channel) talking about what websites to get test sprays, 1ml - 5ml size testers. I live in an area where my Macy's has the same 40 something scents and hasnt restocked since fathers day. I really want to keep exploring but i recently spent 40ish bucks on a blind buy and was extremely disappointed. I dont want to get burned in the future and am trying to get small doses to smell the fragrance before i splurg on a full bottle. Thank you for all the great content!
I use only trusted sampler sites but samples are a great way to try lots of different ones without ending up with a bottle of something you don’t like.
I love that one, too. Try Swiss Arabian Nawaf. Similar to Ferrari Essence Oud but a bit drier & smokier with a very slight touch of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud.
Try Ajmal Mukhallat Shams. Proper, but affordable, middle eastern oud. Real beast mode fragrance. You'll only need one spray. Be warned though, this isn't your softer western stuff that most people are familiar with. Some even suggest you should spray your clothes one day before you wear them because the far drydown is where the magic is.
As soon as you mentioned SWY oud I slammed on the breaks with the vid and went straight to Fragrancebuy CA and scored a bottle, this one is a blind buy for me (which I rarely do) but I LOVE the SWY line and I'm also a fan of Oud so hopefully I won't be disappointed.
I’m back watching all your gents scents extra videos during my night shift. Only thing I can use to pass time. Btw please ash can you do some weekly niche perfume videos. Would really appreciate it.
Ash" is spot on with everyone of these I own em' all and did a test myself and I've gota say his discription of each is almost an exactly accurate discription of what ya get from each one ...I'd have to say I was blown away by the very muchthe Gucci intense oud is so similar to black afgano of which my nasamato I don't wear much of but very surprised
THANK YOU MY FRIEND, for making this video. I'm ADDICTED to Oud fragrances. My favorites are Initio's Oud For Greatness, Ralph Lauren Supreme Oud, and thanks to you The Woods Collection Royal Knight and yes Versace Oud Noir. If you ever have any Oud fragrance giveaways PLEASE keep me in mind PLEASE. Be well my friend.
Favorite oud is Aoud Leather by Montale. A great, cool, dry aoud leather fragrance with just a hint of sweetness and great longevity. Surprisingly "fresh", maybe due to the coolness of the fragrance as it lacks warm resins or incense to heat it up. Doesn't get much love but it's one of my favorites.
Thanks for this video, I'm looking to get further into ouds myself. Since I got my hands into Molton Brown's "oud accord" line (main notes are oud and rose, of course) I've been curious for more. I'll use a few of those as a starting point. 👍
@@BigJonkulous You'll certainly find it with Dahn Al Oudh Shams. I'd check out the colourful reviews on Fragrantica first, to see if you really want that much funk.
What about MFK Oud? I got a sample of it and at first thought it was fantastic but at 3am when I could still smell nothing but it then it got kinda of sickening lol. I love the oud smell but I wonder how it stacks up against the others here?
Am I the only one who hates Oud Noir? Versace fragrances are usually amazing but they dropped the ball on this one. Nothing like Tom Fords Oud Wood, not sure where the comparisons come from.
Don't take this the wrong way you don't look old and you aren't all wrinkled up but man you look mature now. It's a huge surprise because when you first started you looked like a kid. I'm assuming you were older and just looked way younger than you were.

LV Ombre Nomade is the definition of a dark delish bomb.
You recommended Oud Noir as a beginner oud fragrance, and you nailed it. I loved it and want more oud

To my nose Oud Touch does not smell like Oud Ispahan it is very synthetic there is no oud at all.
Agreed!
I think Banana Republic Oud Mosaic is a closer take on Oud Ispahan. It's also higher quality fragrance.
@@0rokuSaki I get better performance with Oud Touch for less money with an easier time to find but I see where you're coming from

Gucci intense oud is my only designer oud my next one on my list will probably be the stronger with you oud.
Waiting for my stronger with you OUD this week! Blind buy… can’t wait!
The 100ml is back in stock as of 5 minutes ago. Get'em!
Was able to snag one \m/
Lol, you should do a list of the most challenging niche Ouds - the real real hard ones. 😂
Finally you mention boss oud saffron
Fortunate to have Versace Oud Noir, YSL M7 Oud Absolu and Boss Bottled Oud. Looking forward to some cooler Oklahoma days so I can wear these.
Versace Oud Noir... is my go to

out of all of those, I am happy with my Varvatos Oud - really nice!
The Vince Camuto Oud is a slightly sweeter, warmer and much more affordable take on Oud Wood - very good for the price you can find it at discounters.
Mine beginner oud fragrances were:
- ZARA "Vibrant oud" , classic heh )
- Franck Boclet "Oud" (sweet oud with a clove, very pleasant, not off-putting)
Vibrant Leather Oud does not contain Oud.
Ferrari Essence Oud is a great one, more rose then oud, but still great. Hard to find now though, I'm lucky to have a full bottle.
I love that one, too. Try Swiss Arabian Nawaf. Similar to Ferrari Essence Oud but a bit drier & smokier with a very slight touch of Tom Ford Tobacco Oud.
Try Ajmal Mukhallat Shams. Proper, but affordable, middle eastern oud. Real beast mode fragrance. You'll only need one spray.

Hi! Does Ajmal Mukhallat Shams have a dark oud profile? Or green oud please?
My first oud fragrance was Tom ford oud wood. I hated at first spray bcz never smelled something like that. I love it now.
Trussardi Amber Oud is really good also
This one is on my wish list.

You love SWY line and oud, how can you be disappointed and Ash said "really really really good" so...
I have the leather version and it is one of my most favs. I am sure the oud version is just as amazing
@@Teamshmo I have them all and it's one of my favs as well!

Ferragamo oud is very wearable, you should check it out
Do you sell decants?? I would love to either get a bottle or at least a 10ml decant of original M7.
I smelled whole stronger with you line in Sephora recently, Oud is levels above everything else. I'm thinking of getting a bottle.
Your Saphora has Stronger With You Oud???
@@anthonyhill4639 I’m in the Middle East currently.
I have some and I love them all except one...😀 Gucci oud intense, D&G The One MN, Bentley Absolute, St Dupont Oud & Rose and Tigha The dark side
Would strongly suggest checking out Oxford Ouds. They have a great range but a huge selection of Pure Oud oils also.
Great review ash I’ve been eyeing boss bottled oud up might pull the trigger my fellow frag head lol

Maybe you've already covered this, but can you give us a few of the really dark/dank/nasty oud fragrances?
Ajmal Mukhallat Shams or for a really dark, nasty one try Ajmal Dahn Al Oudh Shams. Eastern oud & affordable, too.
@@MuddyGreenMonster Thank you for the suggestions! I'm looking for that funk!
@@BigJonkulous You'll certainly find it with Dahn Al Oudh Shams. I'd check out the colourful reviews on Fragrantica first, to see if you really want that much funk.
Montale Aoud Cuir D'Arabie
The bottle says M7. Why call it Oud Absolu? Oud Absolu hasn't been sold since 2016.
What about Gucci oud intense?
How is Boss Bottled Oud Vs. BB Oud Aeromatic?
When I first started getting into fragrances one of the first questions I had to Google was "what the F--- is Oud?".
Do The Night by Malle 👀
🦬💩
waiting for 1 million oud
Do you even oud bro? Every designer brand ever
What about MFK Oud? I got a sample of it and at first thought it was fantastic but at 3am when I could still smell nothing but it then it got kinda of sickening lol. I love the oud smell but I wonder how it stacks up against the others here?
Great video bro
great review
I like Boss bottled Oud
Bottled Oud and Bottled Oud Saffron are pretty good. Aromatic makes me puke, something in it disagrees with me.
Will you ever feature Acqua di Parma Oud?
That's a great Oud. The Oud & Spice is also underrated.
Out of all the boss oud which is your favorite
Where's Franck Olivier Oud Touch Ash?
I bought that several months ago
@@marxman300 how is it?
@@bryanmylosoko took a lil while to get use it as it's my first oud.but I like
I tried a sample of Tom fords oud wood and my mom said I smelled like a grandma
What do you think of dunhill icon absolute?
what about oud from Chopard?
also oud from carolina herrera?
many missed out buddy
Hello my friend what longevity do you have with boss bottled oud? Thank you
About 4, 5 hours on my skin, with ph that makes fragrances fight hard.
hey Ashton that spam account is back in your comments telling people they won just letting you know
Day 3 of asking Ash to review Milton Lloyd fragrances
Ash wouldn't touch that trash. They are AWFUL, tacky body mists & you need half a bottle to get any longevity out of them.
@@MuddyGreenMonster Have you tried their Fahrenheit clone The Man Cobalt? that stuff is insane
Gucci huily Oud is the best ever
Oudstanding
What is the stinkiest oud fragrance?
Is this a trick question? I couldn’t imagine you would want to smell like livestock 😂
Try Ajmal Dahn Oudh Al Shams. But don't say I didn't warn you!
Dior ambassador oud I believe it called
Imperial Moon. Period.
Am I the only one who hates Oud Noir? Versace fragrances are usually amazing but they dropped the ball on this one. Nothing like Tom Fords Oud Wood, not sure where the comparisons come from.
I oud just oud that's when you know you seriously oud I oud on other sents to make thm smell more fancy I ou 8 12 D

These are a gateway to heavier drugs 😅😅
In general these all are not oud actually.. all of these just a cash cow for companies specially that stronger with you
who cares? they smell great!
@@karimb972 I didn't say they don't I said they are not oud
Iris is on decline, everyone is doing rose.
It's NOT "Versacee". It's pronounced "Versaceh". Trust me! signed: an Italian
