Episode 51 of Love At First Scent
This was a CZcams Live broadcast streamed on Friday 6 December 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I talked about my definitive guide to the best oud perfumes, over on my blog. Here's a link: persolaise.com...
I also took a sniff of L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh (composed by Bertrand Duchaufour) and Montale Aoud Cuir D'Arabie.
[Samples from my personal collection.]

I was rewatching this video after having tried some FdB scents. I find them to be in the camp you described as saying, “contains natural Oud but who knows the amount”. To my nose they smell as if they only waved an Oud chip above the blend. At most, a small part per thousands. Love your videos. Can’t wait for the year end Love at First Scent.
You’re very kind, Brooks, thank you. And yes... the quantity of natural oud is an exceedingly mystical number 😉
I bought a decant of Cuir d’Arabie several years ago. I had never experienced anything like this before and on one occasion of testing, I actually retched!
After watching this video, I dug it out and although the smell remains the same, it seems to have become more acceptable as my nose has developed. My wife absolutely hates this type of stuff and I’m not sure if I’ll be wearing it out, but I inexplicably became a compelled to purchase a bottle! I’ve also bought a bottle of Bulgari Eau Parfumée Au Thé Noir Eau de Cologne (intense) although I’ve searched, I can’t now find the video where you recommended it (although I’ve seen the blog). It’s always good to re-validate the reason for a blind-buy purchase during the wait for its arrival!
Ahh, I adore that Montale... as you know!
Many thanks for watching.
I've bought Ajmal Dahn al Oudh al shams (special edition)! Blindly, according to your review! And it is wonderful stuff! Thank you, Dariush
Ah excellent, I’m so pleased you like it. Thanks for letting me know.
Being obsessed with "oriental" (can you still say that?) scents and now living in Doha, Middle East, wherever I go - be it shopping malls, be it Souq Waqif - I stumble over Oud. And for the first time, I really think I can tell a real Oud scent from the ones that only have the name in it because the ingredient became so popular. Anyways, fascinating material! Can smell a bit nasty at times though. ;-)
It is endlessly fascinating. I could smell it for hours.
Thanks for watching.
Al Oudh - Have it and like it quite a bit; I find it slightly subdued on my skin, but still noticeable presence. I just don't wear it that much for some reason. Cuminophile here. :)
Thirty-Three - Have it and love it. One of my most-worn perfumes. My favourite 'rose-oud'.
MFK Oud EdP - Found it underwhelming, more of a dull, watery patchouli accord.
L'Oudh - I liked it, found a 'plastic-petrol' note initially that's great. Need to revisit my sample.
Haven't tried the others.
As for my favourites, I love Oud Palao. I prefer it over Oud Ispahan. Leather Oud is a favourite. Of course those Amouages are nice (the ones I have tried), but they are so much more than oud that I don't think of any of them as just 'oud' perfumes. I explored the MFK edps, and liked Velvet and Satin (more of an oud-amber), though Silk was nice as well. I think I am getting into an oud phase, maybe because it's the winter. I have Ottoman Empire II, but don't get what the hype is all about. Malle's The Night is great, I'm very keen to try The Moon. Nicolai has done a couple of nice ouds, but I haven't tried Oud Sublime. Mancera and Montale have just too many. Will Chanel have an oud in 2020?
Question for you: What are the best budget 'western' ouds in your view?
Cheers from Toronto! :)
Thank you so much for watching, and for that wonderful list! I think we’re mostly in agreement.
What’s a budget oud?? 😂
Dhan al oud shams is cool, fragrance is like a wet stack of hay sitting forever waiting to be tossed, just incredible! Ajmal has great oud blends, and thank you for sharing, I enjoy your fluent flow of communication and diction.
That’s very kind. Thank you for watching.
I love the wet hay description.
PDM Haltane is amazing.
I must seek it out.
Elie Saab Essence N.4 Oud is a fragrance to die for, composed by none other than Francis Kurdjian. It was on major sale recently (less than $60) so I stocked up on it. Now, you can not find it anywhere. A true Laotian Oud scent complemented with a gentle bouquet of florals (minimal to no Rose), animalic but soooooo sensual. LOVE all the way, Please consider reviewing if you get your hands on it.
Thank you so much for this. Some of those Elie Saabs are difficult to find, but I’ll definitely keep a lookout. 😊
Cracking video my friend! I'm getting in to Aouds at the mo and my favs hands down are Black Afgano, L'oudh by Tauer and my No1 is The Night, albeit, the first 30 mins or so smell like horse poop! Other favs are Roja Sweetie Aoud, the only Roja I actually like, and for a good old wack of synthetics, you've got to love a bit of Oud Dream and Aoud Line by Montale and Mancera
Jamie, thanks very much indeed for watching. I’m pleased you also like the Tauer and the Malle.
By the way, I guess you meant Aoud Lime, right?
@@Persolaise Ooops, well spotted, Yes, Indeed, Lime not line,
doh!
😂 I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a Montale I didn’t know about.
How is it that I never came across your channel up until now, I really like your oud collection, Aoud Cuir d’Arabie is my favorite.
Well, at least you’ve found me now 😊
Thanks very much for watching.
Can you describe that fragrances kindly? No one reviewed it:(
@@Blackafgano12 it's an animalic musk, heavy leather, animalic oud with some hint of rose. Very dark and wild. Not many ppl can pull it off.
You should find some words on it over on Persolaise.com.
@@Persolaise Thank you🙏🏽
woah, I am glad I came by this channel .. I really am a fan of Oud note, since I live in Egypt and I am an Arab .. its a nature thing ..
my most favorite oud perfume though, I don't have a name for it, and it was a small bottle like a 6 ml decant bottle, and it had thick dark rose notes aside the Oud, and there seemed to be a hint of some bitter resins .. it started my hobby of collecting although I already had a thing for perfumes before I smelled that one .. but after I did I could no longer control that passion lol
I really hope to find something similar to it through out that never ending journey ..
Hi and thanks for taking the time to write 😊
What happened to the bottle? Did you lose it? It sounds like it was quite some perfume!
@@Persolaise absolutely a masterpiece, from what I understood it was a gift from a royal family to another in another country.. I still have the bottle and I will keep trying to find something similar.. Thanks for taking the time to write back 🙂
Ahmad Ezz Not at all, thank YOU for watching and writing. And please let me know if you ever find something similar.
My favorite less expensive Oud scent is Enrico Gi Oud Magnifico
Then my favorites for more expensive are
Armani Prive Oud Royal
And
Aqua Di Parma Colonia Oud
Thanks for sharing, and for watching.
Mentioned in a comment- Bois 1920 oro nero is lovely though rather similar to Interlude I think.
Hmmm... must keep a nose out for it.
Thanks for watching.
I quite enjoy Oud Wood Intense, Amouage VII, Oud Malaki by Chopard (and I guess Halfeti by Penhaligons which is similar), as well as Oud Cuire by Al Faransi.
I need to check out that last one.
Thanks for watching.
I heard that the smell of oud oil also depends on whether or not the distiller soaked the logs in water prior to distilling. I think they do that to get a larger yield but apparently it gives the oil a very cheese-y facet
Fascinating. I’m sure that sort of things has an effect.
Thanks for watching 😊
My favorite at the momement is Golden Serenade from Jusbox Perfumes
Ah, I haven’t tried that one yet.
Thanks very much for watching 😊
Great review. I really do love Oud scents. well not my girlfriend, she is not fond of it, to be honest, no one cares much about Oud at least the people I know, but as I said I love Oud a lot. there is a Danish brand Zarkoperfumes which make oud scents(real oud as they say) , matching Scandivanian weather and ppl I guess.have you check it, cool scents, do have some of them:) Montale has some great Oud scents as well and to be honest this one it is my absolute fave , bought even one extra as a back up,10 out 10 for me :)thx for the take on this*****. Have a great week. cheers P.s. name Kjellqvist( pronounces: scheallkoiest:) ) if you wanna learn Swedish:)
Hi again Amir,
I’m glad you like the Montale too. I tried a few Zarkos a while ago, but I’d need to revisit them before passing any comment.
And thanks for that pronunciation guide! I’d never have guessed that’s how you say that name. ‘Kje’ becomes ‘Schea’?
As always, thanks for watching 😊 I really appreciate it.
My current favourite Oud is Oud for Greatness by Initio. I am curious what is your opinion on it.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it 😊
Thoughts on Bortnikoff’s Ous? Oud Maximus is incredible. A beast of an oud. I think he uses 3 Oud oils, and perhaps more.
I’ll have to keep my nose out for it 😊
Thanks for taking the time to write.
I liked perfect oud by mizensir and tamed oud by phuong dang
Wonderful - thanks for letting me know.
given the endangered status of agar trees, sustainability concerns, and the fact that a lot of real oud comes through the black market, i'd much rather a perfume contained synthetic oud than natural.
A very valid point, thank you.
I guess brands ought to be more honest and transparent about whether they use real or synthetic.
Bortnikoff L'heure Exquise is the best!!!
I’ll have to keep my nose out for it.
Thanks for watching.
Have you tried Indonesian Oud by Ermenegildo Zegna? It is my first introduction to oud, and I love it.
Yes, I have! And thank you so much for reminding me of it, because I love it too. I think I should consider adding it to the guide when I do the next update.
Many thanks for watching :-)
Hope you can put your nose on Oud Cuir by Cave, it is so nice and elegant.
I’ll have to seek it out 😊
Thanks for watching.
You should try Arabian Oud's Royal Oud set. The best oud rose in business.
Thanks for the tip 😉
I’m saving up to buy psychedelique from Jovoy
Ah, a classic patchouli 😊
When it comes to classic patchouli, you should try and then buy Zeno By Davidoff. Way cheaper than the one from Jovoy as well as maintaining high quality and performance.
Matchy Matchy Do you mean Zino? I wonder what the current formulation of that is like.
Thanks very much for writing.
Matchy Matchy thanks I’ve always wondered what that one was like. My favorite inexpensive patchouli fragrance is guerlain heritage
@@Curdle7 I'm lucky to have a few drops of the original formulation: really great stuff.
Welcome back.....nice picks but for me without any Middle Eastern oudh houses may look lousy coz they are the oudh masters for centuries than western oudh houses...finally who spill purple ink in ur shirt ???? Hahahaha
Ha! :-D
Tell me what some of your favourite ouds are.
And thanks for watching, as always.
@@Persolaise time to time I change frags so best lemme give few houses than individual names....
Abdul Samad Al Qureshi (ASQ), Surriati Perfumes, Ajmal, Haramain, Swiss Arabian, Rasasi. Arabian Oudh to name a few
Great list. I do like a few things from Ajmal and Swiss Arabian.
As an oud purist myself I absolutely hate ompanies calling these oud. NONE have real oud in them... as a fragrance lover as well I do appreciate these compositions with this synthetic sharp woody accord.
I think that’s a very wise stance to take.
Thanks very much for watching.
are you persian?
Half of me is!
