We choose our top 10 oud fragrances, sorry for the slight lighting issues! If you enjoy our channel you could buy us a glass of wine! www.buymeacoffee.com/wafts
This is so refreshing to see , rather than another top most complimented list 🙏 I'm lucky enough to have some of these , incredible and insightful choices too
Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! Great list, like a lot of others I also really love Bortnikoff :) One thing we can clearly see in your videos is pure passion!!
Another fantastic vid & list, will defo have to check out several of these!! To date my fav Oud frags are Black Afgano and Oud Silk Mood and the new-ish Guerlian one in the Brown/gold bottle!
Hello Peter! Poos ,lol. If one can produce a fragrance that is as good as smelling your own fart but had the same effect on others, you know what I mean, you seem to savour your own, wish it could be bottled.x
I'll have to try some of your suggestions. I'd like to try Ottoman Empire, Part 2 and Russian Oud especially. I know I know everyone says they don't have any oud in them, but my favorites are TF Oud Wood and Creed's Royal Oud. Whatever they do have, it works well for me.
Another cool video. Thank you. I still wear Al Oudh every once in a while, because although it's not really an oud fragrance, it's still evocative in a way that Duchaufour is so good at, and for a reasonable price, and will always have a place in my heart. Agree about Zworykina's Cuir de Russie. Powerful, real, transporting stuff. A couple Western oud accords I enjoy are Guerlain's Oud Essentiel and Laurent Mazzone's Black Oud (similar to Black Afgano, but better, IMO), which can both be found for relatively low cost. And then my favorites with real oud so far are Hayat by Kemi Blending Magic and Notorious Oud, a new one by D.S. & Durga, both of which are quite artistic, and don't play the standard rose game.
Al Oudh , yes dates. Wonderful opening, then the cumin comes forward and mixes with the incense and spices. At that point it becomes dry , and the civet and cumin really come forward. It settles back into a sweet dried fruit date mix. I like it. Diptyque is a great house. I have Russian Oud . Very happy. I only have a 5ml of Oud Maximus. whoa. Great list.
I have to agree with the top 4, I think they could be placed in any order. A few that you may/may not have tried: Initio Oud For Greatness Fragrance du Bois Sahraa Oud and Oud Rouge Intense Roja Dove UAE MFK Oud Extrait, Silk Mood Extrait, and Satin Mood Extrait Armani Prive Oud Royal
Thanks so much for your content. After exploring perfume for 7 years I am definitely in my Oud discovery phase. After watching this video I purchased Ajmal Khallab and I love it. Bortnikoff next 😁
Hello! So happy to see Ajmal here! Yes we do distill Oud, in fact, you should search for Ajmal Oud Tour on TH-cam, we take Perfumers with us to Assam, on a 5 day trip, educating them about Oud, from planting trees, until distillation and purification. =D
Great list. Thanks for sharing. Have you ever tried any of the oud synthetics (e.g. black agar)? They are really cheap and all things considering not bad smelling for the price.
Brilliant video and selection guys. Just a little comment, I own most of the fragrance that you selected and must say they are brilliant if you're into oud. However you'll find the best oud fragrances are from the Arabian and Indian house, Indian is hard to find. Try some from "Arabian Oud" or from "Abdul Samad Kureshi", Arabian Oud has more westernfird oud fragrances.
Aaron's oud is amazing, I've got a second bottle of it. Although one day I would love a bottle of ensar oud no 1. Very pricey but quite rare. Beautiful stuff
Wonderful top 10. I'm very pleased to own Oud Maximus, incredibly beautiful. Maybe you could try FdB Sahraa Oud, uses natural oud and very nice indeed. Thanks guys!
Some good choices there gentlemen! My Absolute apex Oud is ALD Russian Oud. 🤩 My life's pride & joy is owning 2 bottles of it(until my baby is born that is haha!) I am yet to try Oud Maximus but the Rose notes are keeping me at bay, roses are troublesome to me unfortunately. Oud Palao also fantastic for the price & probably the only Diptyque I'll ever own. Curious to know if you have tried Auphorie Binturong & Xerjoff Mamluk? Polar opposites in all facets of course but both quite interesting scents.
Love the video, love the list! I would pick eo1 pure parfum as my number 1( only have a 7.5ml decant unfortunately) and Russian oud as my number 2 ( no pun intended) ( have a full bottle) I love our Maximus but I find it's opening too cheesy. P.s - I blind bought something you should definitely check out- brindaban by aggarwood Assam , (it's on Etsy) it is an Indian attar in edp form, nikhil and Juan had reviewed it and really loved it,. Are you going to sample the new bogue?
How does ATH’s Oud compare to TF Oud Wood Intense? Are they comparable? I love Oud Wood Intense and I’m wondering if having it and ATH’s Oud would be redundant.
greetings - and kudos for another terrific fragrance vignette. I don't wear a signature perfume, but I DO wear a signature note - oud. all my perfumes are either overtly oud-based, or have a note of oud (natural and/or synthetic) of some sort or to some degree. I could prattle-on for hours about the topic - my partner enjoys perfumes but claims I am obsessed. he's not wrong! adding to what others have kindly mentioned, I'd like to give a nod to a few of my favorites: "Oud Musc" and "Oud & Oud" by Cartier (nose Mathilde Laurent has created my absolute favorite oud series, though most are now discontinued - an uncommon and fascinatingly unique oud DNA), "The Hope" by Thameen (with a peculiar but soft and lovely Coca-Cola vibe), "Enigma Oud" by Roja Dove (Roja's oud, peach and rose - a moderate and sexy gourmand), "Watan" by Anfas (a gourmand with a savory bleu-cheese funk), "Shaghaf Oud" by SwissArabia (a powerful but inexpensive gourmand replete with oud, rose, chocolate, and praline notes), "Wood Infusion" by Goldfield & Banks (an orange-tinged mingling of woods - citrusy and thickly dank, but in a good way), "Mosaic" (this eponymous scent is simple - oud, cedar and few other notes to round-out things - EDP that sadly performs like an EDT - the 100ml is now sold-out, but the 50ml is available again), "Oud Magnetique" by Molinard (a most unique oud-and-rose duet), "L'Homme Aux Gants" by MDCI (I appreciate previous reviews of this - one of my favorite fragrances which I lovingly put in my oud-and-nutmeg corner, with a hint of vanilla - I find this perfume emotionally moving), "Smoked Oud" by OK-Fine Fragrances (oud that's been aged in a bourbon seasoned American oak barrel - not a gimmick - this is a handsome offering in numbered batches and bottles), and speaking of smoke, "Blackmail" by Kerosene is dark forest smoke done to perfection. my apologies for the lack of brevity. I do hope someone finds something of worth here, as I frequently find with the Wafts from The Loft fragrance reviews. cheers!
*Great oud list with lots of nosegold, especially the Bortnikoffs & Areej le Doré ones. Recommend you to try Rustic Oud from My Perfumes Dubai, that's wooonderful accessible nosegold. Have a great day, Waftys!* ☕😁👌
@@WaftsfromTheLoft *My way of payback for your great quality content!* Just sayin': Crystal colored (no stains on cloth), non-alcoholic (no ethanol) good for sensitive skin, extrait quality... smell right now heavently with good wafts from my blotter, reasonable priced niche with wonderful worthy presentation. *Watch my FB account (same username), will give this a SOTD test wearing this week with picture of full presentation!* ☕😉👍
Great video . As always . Like to give a shout out to Fahrenheit Absolute as a great designer oud . Listed as agerwood on the box . Know it can’t be true oud . Synthetic of course. And probably not ‘Oudy’ enough for this list . But think I’ve seen you mention it before so thought I’d chip it in .
I am pleased to own OEII and (very recently) Monarch - having asked Perfume Guru on Instagram which one between Maximus and Monarch, he said Maximus was his favourite by Bortnikoff - I chose Monarch cos I read you think it is easier to wear. Are they different enough to justify buying both? Your OM was free after all
They are completely different. Yes, I paid for Oud Maximus but not Oud Monarch, and if I had to chose just one it would be maximus. Maximus is much punchier in the opening, then it’s about citrus and florals, so quite different to monarch
Thanks for once again for a great video! I am really no oud expert but I like a lot Rania J's Oud Assam - which has been approved also by some hc oud lovers.
Attars are where many of the best ingredients and blends are happening. Sultan Pasha, Rising Phoenix, Elixir Attar and Mellifluence are the houses I love. Some of the greatest work today is happening there. I think Sultan Pasha is the master and one of the greatest in the world right now. From SP, Ensar Rose is one, D’aurum d’Anghkor is another. Juriah is the oud rose masterpiece.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft would be great to get your take on your journey exploring the world of attars! Have done some initial exploration but not systematically. A lay of the land in terms of houses/brands to look for would be very useful. I frequently wear one by Al Haramain: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AL-HARAMAIN-TOWER-BY-AL-HARAMAIN-20ML-A-VERY-GOOD-QUALITY-PERFUME-OIL/264488867750?hash=item3d94c3d7a6:g:lksAAOSwfx1evHU7
I love them all but after 6 yrs I found out one of th best oud oil with lots of ingredients. Oud muluku... And oud Istanbul By house of abdul Karim al frasnsi... You can find out in London branch or oder online I bet you will forget all.
I have Thirty-Three by Ex Idolo which is a monster but probably too heavy and jammy in retrospect though it does contain real oud. If I was very rich I’d get The Night by Frederic Malle. Even their lovely new one, The Moon is hugely expensive at half the price of The Night! Meanwhile I love Dior’s Leather Oud which I suspect is a skanky leather with no actual oud at all but still smells great.
Good Job guys 👍,. Westerns just got into Oud in their own way. Areej Le Dore did an excellent job of making a fine Oud fragrances. You missed the Oud collection of Ramon Monegal . For me as an Oud collector , (the stinkier the better ) is a general rule. Just wait for the magic. Not to forget Roja Musk Oud is such a wonderful creation .
I’m testing lattafa oud mood and I love it but I’d love to test those 10 frag you showed If I can pay for 1~2ml of each +shipping to France I’ll pay guys ! 💰 🙏🏾 Keep the good work you are among the best reviewers and mostly most genuine in my opinion
Hisham Illiyas hi pro I don’t know if pure oud oil would be wearable and personally, I prefer edp sprays I would like to test areej le doree and borkinoff collections that’s why I’m looking for someone who can send/sell me 2ml sample of them Thank you
Areej Le Dore perfumes are out of reach for most people. Its all SOLD OUT on their website. Please review BYREDO oud fragrances. They have 'Oud Accord' and 'Oud Immortal' which I owned recently. I find them good quality and in the middle of the road when it comes to affordability. At the same time, they offer good quality and wearable oud. I would love to know your viewpoint. Great reviews guys.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thank you for your insight which I really appreciate. Indeed this brand is not path-breaking. There are not many fragrances that have mastered the art of blending modern notes with oud. Could you review some popular oud fragrances where oud compliment other notes (like barbershop fresh notes, Fougere, insense, leather, gourmand etc.) and do not overpower, widely available and somehow remains within $250 price, keeping longevity and projection in mind? I find it really important that oud fragrances should be easily wearable and aromatic in nature and that generates interest among them. Thank you for taking the time to reply. I wish you both all the best!
My top 5 ouds in no particular order: amouage jubilation xxv, the different company oud for love, tom ford plum japonais, armani rose d'arabie, and floris honey oud,
I have Amouage Jubilation XXV, which I agree has an amazing scent, but Initio Oud For Greatness, WOW!! I reach for that every time when I’m in the mood for Oud.
Duchafour does amazing work 🤔 have you lads tried sequoia from comme des garcons? If you like Jubilation give that a shot its very similar smelling but with a big rum note in the opening and running throughout, its one of Duchafour's works it has oud and guess what..was released originally in 2001 couple years before that glory hogging M7 🤣🤣🤣
I was expecting Frederic Malle’s ‘ The Night ‘ to be included. Ridiculously overpriced but it takes skank/barnyard by Western standards to a different level.
M7 was the king. It was the first, it flopped and now its so insanely expensive on the used market. Why the hell doesn't YSL just relaunch it in its original formulation and be done with it. It would sell like hotcakes and destroy the competition as they're all copies of it anyway. C'mon YSl. give the people what they want. OUD Absolu is total bs.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft after years of scouring europeans local perfume shops and hit and missing I have finally decided to move on. I haven't found an adequate replacement as nothing comes close. But wearing Acqua Di Parma OUD for now. Its lovely and has great longevity. Alas no cherry cough syrup opener.
Are you serious Oud Ispahan is the original and the better transitioning ... do you not have access to Rojas ? What about Amber Aoud ? What about Fragrance du Bois Sahraa Oud ? You all are stuck on the stuff you got free from bortnikoff and Areej 🤦🏻♂️ Sahraa Oud and Amber Aoud are some of the most opulent smells out there
Never had anything free from Areej. Oud monarch is the one fragrance that was given to us. We’ve always had a bit of problem with RD, in that he lies about the basic premise for his company by pretending to be a perfumer, when it is well known that he is not.
guys first of all Do Not Reccord in a church or what ever it is, the echo is so bad. and change your channel name siriously it sounds like a rich man took alot of farts in his loft. and by the audio quility you guys seem to have cheap audio gear, i do not know why someone had to smoke a fat blunt for your chanel name... next time i have a fat juicy Waft in my Church with Crap audio i will invite you guys over to have a lesson or two.
U guys hv some respect within frag comm for real reviews but today my respect is fading away a bit...... Talking about Oud is very vast n have many frags to name but among them FDB Fragrance Du Bois is very special n have almost in all of their frags with stunning performance....you have failed to do justice for FDB....n instead bringing Diptyque....ALD 2 frags....Bortnokoff 2 frags you could have easily bought FDB ...this shows your level of understanding of Oud... Sorry if I have written anything wrong but this is my feedback
I've tried quite a few FDB, I try them every time I go into Jovoy in London. Considering that they're a similar price to Bortnikoff and AleD (some are more expensive) I don't think they're in the same league as the Feel Oud guys. The feel oud house distil and tincture a lot of their own materials, and the quality shows and the price is justified. I've never smelt that with any FdeB. I haven't explored FdeB exhaustively at all, but I've not found one yet that really grabs me. For the price, I'd much rather have Oud Palao, but that is my personal taste.
Rizwan Rahim I should also point out that, as we say in our introduction, it is ‘our’ top 10 Oud, not ‘the definitive’ top 10 Oud list, and that there are some obvious omissions like Ensar oud

Always a pleasure to hear your dulcet tones. Another marvellous video.
Thanks!
Another fantastic video chaps. I own a lot of these, but there are a few that I now need to try. Really enjoyed the vid.
Cheers Greg!
"If I did poos like that, I wouldn't leave the toilet" was great. haha, interesting choices chaps!

Blind bought Oud Palao partially based on this review. I’m glad I did. It’s amazing.
Truly Extraordinary Collection of the Best Aoud in the World!!!!!
Fantastic. I love Anna Zworkykina. I love oud. Great video guys.
Thanks!
Great list ! Thank you
I have to agree with the top 4, I think they could be placed in any order.
A few that you may/may not have tried:
Initio Oud For Greatness
Fragrance du Bois Sahraa Oud and Oud Rouge Intense
Roja Dove UAE
MFK Oud Extrait, Silk Mood Extrait, and Satin Mood Extrait
Armani Prive Oud Royal
Thanks so much for your content. After exploring perfume for 7 years I am definitely in my Oud discovery phase. After watching this video I purchased Ajmal Khallab and I love it. Bortnikoff next 😁
Hello!
So happy to see Ajmal here! Yes we do distill Oud, in fact, you should search for Ajmal Oud Tour on TH-cam, we take Perfumers with us to Assam, on a 5 day trip, educating them about Oud, from planting trees, until distillation and purification. =D
Thanks for letting us know! I think we need to explore more of Ajmal!
Great vid guys! Have you tried the Cartier Ouds? Would be curious to hear your views on them if so.
No, I’ve not. It’s not a house is normally associate with Oud. But then, neither is Diptyque!
Great list. Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever tried any of the oud synthetics (e.g. black agar)? They are really cheap and all things considering not bad smelling for the price.
I haven't tried it on it's own, but I know it's in Black Velvet Cafe by 4160 Tuesdays, which does smell great.
Brilliant video and selection guys. Just a little comment, I own most of the fragrance that you selected and must say they are brilliant if you're into oud. However you'll find the best oud fragrances are from the Arabian and Indian house, Indian is hard to find.

Great stuff will be looking into some of these
Thanks!
Aaron's oud is amazing, I've got a second bottle of it. Although one day I would love a bottle of ensar oud no 1. Very pricey but quite rare. Beautiful stuff
Wonderful top 10. I'm very pleased to own Oud Maximus, incredibly beautiful. Maybe you could try FdB Sahraa Oud, uses natural oud and very nice indeed. Thanks guys!
Which is better oud Maximus o mr saharaa oud ?
Great choices gents
My counterpoint just for fun, is louis Vuitton nouveau monde, and fdb sahraa oud
Fantastic list gents. I love your presentation style, and most of your observations are spot on in my book! Subscribed. :-)
This one has been a unicorn, but a new batch will be available this month, I believe: Phoenicia Perfumes Realoud.
Love your choices!
Some good choices there gentlemen!
My Absolute apex Oud is ALD Russian Oud. 🤩
My life's pride & joy is owning 2 bottles of it(until my baby is born that is haha!)
I am yet to try Oud Maximus but the Rose notes are keeping me at bay, roses are troublesome to me unfortunately.

Brilliant brilliant .i love your programme
Fantastic list guys, must admit I thought The Night and a couple of Roja's UAE centric frags would have made the list too
Jamie Brady The Night is fantastic, if a little overpriced
How does ATH’s Oud compare to TF Oud Wood Intense? Are they comparable? I love Oud Wood Intense and I’m wondering if having it and ATH’s Oud would be redundant.

hello. please can you tell me. which one is better? roja oud or bortnikoff maximus?
Given some of the more recent ouds that have released since this video. Triad for one...Is Oud Maximus ‘19 still your favorite?
I wore it the other day, and I think my answer is yes
A half hour video, delightful 🕺

Cheers!
Thanks for once again for a great video! I am really no oud expert but I like a lot Rania J's Oud Assam - which has been approved also by some hc oud lovers.
I've not heard of this before, thanks!
Great video thanks

Left out some great Rojas.
Acqua di Parma s Oud is pretty authentic
Kindly review Ajmal Amir One and Amir Two, both uses indian/hindi oudh
Attars are where many of the best ingredients and blends are happening. Sultan Pasha, Rising Phoenix, Elixir Attar and Mellifluence are the houses I love.

Thank you gents 👏
I love them all but after 6 yrs I found out one of th best oud oil with lots of ingredients.
Oud muluku... And oud Istanbul
By house of abdul Karim al frasnsi... You can find out in London branch or oder online I bet you will forget all.
Gents, are you planning on testing EO1? It seems like the obvious* one missing from the list of Bortnikoff and ALD.
kozziezee yes, it is the obvious one missing, and a house we are really keen to explore.
Would love to get your take on Ex Idolo's "33"/Thirty Three!
Need to check it out
Pooh like Russian Oud - I'd never leave the toilet haha! :) Great reviews as always guys!
Thumbs up gentlemen 👍👍
I haven’t bought too many ouds, but to date my all time favourite is Xerjoff Alexandria ii
I have Thirty-Three by Ex Idolo which is a monster but probably too heavy and jammy in retrospect though it does contain real oud. If I was very rich I’d get The Night by Frederic Malle. Even their lovely new one, The Moon is hugely expensive at half the price of The Night! Meanwhile I love Dior’s Leather Oud which I suspect is a skanky leather with no actual oud at all but still smells great.
Cream of the cream perfumery, thank y'all
What about oud, oud velvet mood and and Oud satin mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian?
I own Oud silk mood. They’re quite nice fragrances, but there really is no Oud at all in them.
Just bought 24 Gold and Oud Silk Mood
Hi guys
You should try American Oud from Ensar Oud. That's a proper oud fragrance nice list and have a good day ahead
Yes, we really do need to experience Ensar Oud
What do you guys think about Oud Luwak...?
GloriousV12 stunning stuff. We did a first impressions in our AleD 4th collection vidie
You have to try widian 71 limited its my absolute favorite oud fragrance
bArood '
I’ll going to look into that Widian 71 limited
Cheers
Xerjoff al-khatt is my favorite oud
Good Job guys 👍,.
Westerns just got into Oud in their own way.
Areej Le Dore did an excellent job of making a fine Oud fragrances.
You missed the Oud collection of Ramon Monegal .
For me as an Oud collector , (the stinkier the better ) is a general rule. Just wait for the magic.
Not to forget Roja Musk Oud is such a wonderful creation .
Yes, several people have suggested Monegal
You should try Sahara Oud from Fragrance du bois.
Yes, that certainly seems to be a popular one
Yes, ajmal does oudh distillation, I know this for a fact as I am right where oudh comes from and where ajmal was born.
Thanks!
I’m testing lattafa oud mood and I love it but I’d love to test those 10 frag you showed
If I can pay for 1~2ml of each +shipping to France I’ll pay guys ! 💰 🙏🏾
Keep the good work you are among the best reviewers and mostly most genuine in my opinion
@fahd fprime hi brother are you interested in buying pure oud oil
Hisham Illiyas hi pro I don’t know if pure oud oil would be wearable and personally, I prefer edp sprays
I would like to test areej le doree and borkinoff collections that’s why I’m looking for someone who can send/sell me 2ml sample of them
Thank you
Areej Le Dore perfumes are out of reach for most people. Its all SOLD OUT on their website. Please review BYREDO oud fragrances. They have 'Oud Accord' and 'Oud Immortal' which I owned recently. I find them good quality and in the middle of the road when it comes to affordability. At the same time, they offer good quality and wearable oud. I would love to know your viewpoint. Great reviews guys.
Thanks. I've never spent a huge amount of time with Byredo; there are quite a few which seem 'nice', but none that have really wowed me for the price.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft Thank you for your insight which I really appreciate. Indeed this brand is not path-breaking. There are not many fragrances that have mastered the art of blending modern notes with oud. Could you review some popular oud fragrances where oud compliment other notes (like barbershop fresh notes, Fougere, insense, leather, gourmand etc.) and do not overpower, widely available and somehow remains within $250 price, keeping longevity and projection in mind? I find it really important that oud fragrances should be easily wearable and aromatic in nature and that generates interest among them.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I wish you both all the best!
Ajmal has one of the largest oud plantations in India
Tauer not making the list?
Hello guys i really love your content.
What do you think about making video on the best fake fregrances on the market ?
Try "Notorious Oud" by D.S. & Durga
In the 2019 version of Oud by ATH, there is Burmese Oud in it. The 2020 Version contains Burmese and Thai Oud.
Oud Palao is ok, but not special.
You guys should check out Ensar oud
We've tried some since this video. I bought my first 3ml EO oil a few weeks ago. We've also reviewed Crime and Punishment
Cambodian oud I can do...but walking around smelling funky/fecal isnt my thing.
Also,no SHL Oumma???
I've not tried Oumma, I'll check it out, thanks!
My top 5 ouds in no particular order: amouage jubilation xxv, the different company oud for love, tom ford plum japonais, armani rose d'arabie, and floris honey oud,
Arm Chinratanalap lol! Tom Ford doesn’t use real oud!
@@mrpickles680 whoops top 4 then!
Don't want to burst your bubble but none of these have real oud
I have Amouage Jubilation XXV, which I agree has an amazing scent, but Initio Oud For Greatness, WOW!! I reach for that every time when I’m in the mood for Oud.
Duchafour does amazing work 🤔 have you lads tried sequoia from comme des garcons? If you like Jubilation give that a shot its very similar smelling but with a big rum note in the opening and running throughout, its one of Duchafour's works it has oud and guess what..was released originally in 2001 couple years before that glory hogging M7 🤣🤣🤣
My only criticism of this list is that your top 4 come from two houses.
They are from 2 distillers of oud turned perfumers.
بخور العود إننتاج القمصاني
I was expecting Frederic Malle’s ‘ The Night ‘ to be included. Ridiculously overpriced but it takes skank/barnyard by Western standards to a different level.
It is great, but silly money
When are we going to see an organ and singing video? 5k subs? 10K?

@@WaftsfromTheLoft Wow amazing stuff, what a voice a voice you have Dan!
You should post more musical vids
just saw your performance video...EXCELLENT.
❤
I habe Dyptyque Palao,amazyng Parfum 😘😘😘😘😘😘
agar oud original is india ,🙏
O p please
M7 was the king. It was the first, it flopped and now its so insanely expensive on the used market. Why the hell doesn't YSL just relaunch it in its original formulation and be done with it. It would sell like hotcakes and destroy the competition as they're all copies of it anyway. C'mon YSl. give the people what they want. OUD Absolu is total bs.
Yes, M7 was a game changer for Western Perfumer. Tom Ford and his boldest. Oud Absolu is a sad shadow.
@@WaftsfromTheLoft after years of scouring europeans local perfume shops and hit and missing I have finally decided to move on. I haven't found an adequate replacement as nothing comes close. But wearing Acqua Di Parma OUD for now. Its lovely and has great longevity. Alas no cherry cough syrup opener.
Amber aoud musk aoud i wasnt impressed with bortnikoff or areej
Same. Not gonna shill over this company
Khallab doesn't last. This is a problem.
What's your instagram?
Some are So expensive 😭😢
TheHonestjbone yes, but then that’s the problem when you’re dealing with something so rare!
Wafts from The Loft true! Another powerful Oud, despite the fact I never got my nose on most of these, but it’s L’Oudh by Andy Tauer
Are you serious Oud Ispahan is the original and the better transitioning ... do you not have access to Rojas ? What about Amber Aoud ? What about Fragrance du Bois Sahraa Oud ? You all are stuck on the stuff you got free from bortnikoff and Areej 🤦🏻♂️ Sahraa Oud and Amber Aoud are some of the most opulent smells out there
Never had anything free from Areej. Oud monarch is the one fragrance that was given to us. We’ve always had a bit of problem with RD, in that he lies about the basic premise for his company by pretending to be a perfumer, when it is well known that he is not.
guys first of all Do Not Reccord in a church or what ever it is, the echo is so bad. and change your channel name siriously it sounds like a rich man took alot of farts in his loft. and by the audio quility you guys seem to have cheap audio gear, i do not know why someone had to smoke a fat blunt for your chanel name... next time i have a fat juicy Waft in my Church with Crap audio i will invite you guys over to have a lesson or two.
It's too much long. You talk too much guys
U guys hv some respect within frag comm for real reviews but today my respect is fading away a bit......
Talking about Oud is very vast n have many frags to name but among them FDB Fragrance Du Bois is very special n have almost in all of their frags with stunning performance....you have failed to do justice for FDB....n instead bringing Diptyque....ALD 2 frags....Bortnokoff 2 frags you could have easily bought FDB ...this shows your level of understanding of Oud...
Sorry if I have written anything wrong but this is my feedback
I've tried quite a few FDB, I try them every time I go into Jovoy in London. Considering that they're a similar price to Bortnikoff and AleD (some are more expensive) I don't think they're in the same league as the Feel Oud guys. The feel oud house distil and tincture a lot of their own materials, and the quality shows and the price is justified. I've never smelt that with any FdeB. I haven't explored FdeB exhaustively at all, but I've not found one yet that really grabs me. For the price, I'd much rather have Oud Palao, but that is my personal taste.
Rizwan Rahim I should also point out that, as we say in our introduction, it is ‘our’ top 10 Oud, not ‘the definitive’ top 10 Oud list, and that there are some obvious omissions like Ensar oud
List ❓❓
