I approached this very cautiously. I am not fond of oud – let me put that clearly out there. But I do love another FM – Portrait of a Lady. And this is often compared to it – so my curiousity took the better of me and I decided to give a try to this oud formula (partially because the real one is so pricey that this seems like the best way to test it). And rather unexpectedly, I did fall in love! The fantastic overdose of ambroxan (a favourite of mine) with plenty of rose molecules, a sparkly bitter berry fruitiness, and not to forget the funky woody smell of the oud and the cresols – all mixed and balanced to perfection. I can’t believe I am going to say this, but I think I have found an oud that I love.
A note on the oud that you use – you can go for natural oud annd expensive oud or you can replace that with any of the composition ouds out there. I tried it with Oud Malaki by Firmenich which is on the funky side.

This one is very good. There is no real oud oil in the formula but is quite realistic due to some aromachemicals like butyric acid. It is a very complex formula and requires lot of attention and patience. Also the amount of aromachemicals is more than 80. I used leather oud from firmenich and black agar from givaudan for creating the oud base.

This formula is spot on! I’m a big fan of Oud perfumes, especially the ones that contain real oud so I decided to blend this around a month ago and my god, it smells divine. Can’t wait to make another test after some more time. The formula is quite complicated with many aroma chemicals, and it’s really useful to learn how to balance such materials in a formula
