Oud Sharqia

Oud Sharqia is a dry, woody oud fragrance with a distinct medicinal and smoky character that evolves into a powdery, spicy rose and sandalwood base. It opens with a sharp, animalic oud note that some find challenging or sour, but it settles into a more refined, linear scent where the rose and woody notes become prominent. The fragrance has moderate to strong sillage and excellent longevity when applied generously, especially on clothing. It feels unisex, though some find it leans slightly masculine due to its smoky, leather-like undertones and petrochemical hint. The presence of actual oud chips in the bottle adds a tactile authenticity, and the design is sleek and heavy, contributing to its luxurious feel. Despite some variability in perceived performance—some report strong longevity while others find it fade quickly—it is consistently praised for offering exceptional value for the price.
