Fakhar Al Oud

Fakhar Al Oud is a bold, woody-spicy fragrance with an intense concentration that feels surprisingly premium despite its low price. It opens with dark, dense notes of agarwood (oud), nutmeg, saffron, and cypriol, creating a rich, slightly medicinal character that blends seamlessly into warm, ambery woods like guaiac and cedar. The perfume evolves into a complex, oily texture with patchouli, gurjan balsam, and tonka bean, delivering a deep, tactile drydown that lingers for hours. It shares similarities with legendary oud fragrances like Lattafa Oud Lail Maleki and In the Mood Oud, but feels more textured, less sweet, and leans heavily into leather-like, industrial-spice accords rather than floral or vanilla sweetness. Its sillage is substantial and projection is intense, making it ideal for night wear in colder weather. While some find it overwhelming—especially due to its high dose of saffron and gurjan balsam that can trigger headaches—others praise its unique, high-class aura reminiscent of designer leather and textile mills. The fragrance is best suited for those who appreciate strong, non-romantic, deeply textured woody-spicy scents and don’t mind a long, tenacious performance.
