Oud Abramad

Of course it will smell like sh*t the perfumer is David egg benedekt

This perfume opens up very incensy with tones of cumin and oudh, overall it reminds me of the ink I used to refill my fountain pen in high school. I would say that the incense overpowers the oudh and the oudh has a medicinal tone. It is an ok fragrance with a good longevity but moderate projection. This would be a nice perfume but for the dry down which has a bad pungent smell. Try before you buy! Scent: 4/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 7/10 Cost ratio: 3/10 Overall: 5.5/10 Love it or hate it. The story behind this scent is a bit cheesy. There are tons of other woods of much better quality.

A bit too much for me.

A beautiful take on oud. Oud Abramad (OA) is a beautiful sweet, ambery oud. It starts immediately with classic oriental oud, mixed with warm amber accord (incense, labdanum, wood), & with a lovely Arabic saffron & rose combo. That ambery, oudy, arabic smell is then spiced up with cumin, & sweetened with a note that is not motioned that smells like dates. The smell is oudy, woody, ambery, incensy, sweet, saffrony, & lightly rosey. This sweet, ambery, oud/rose scent does share obvious resemblance to the rumored to be now-discontinued MMM Across Sands. The similarity is uncanny! Personally, I prefer Across Sands but the difference is mild. OA smells like Across Sands mixed with a small amount of Armani's Oud Prive. I get why people voted it smells like Armani Oud Royal; they both have an oriental sandalwoody-like smell at the dry down. However, that is more applicable to Oud Royal than OA. OA is also oudier & sweeter if that is something you're looking for. Overall, OA is a beautiful take on sweet, Arabic oud, that is mature & properly unisex with a slight lean towards the masculine side. OA is best worn on cool night. "Love"

I knew that I have smelled it before, it's extrmely similar to Oud Royal by Armani Privé, and also reminds me a bit of Bentley Intense for Men. Cumin, Incense and agarwood are the main players here. I like the scent but it isn't innovative by any means, for a brand that describe itself as creative and bla bla. Think of it that way: 90% Oud Royal, 10% Bentley Intense Men. Longevity is around 4-5 hours for 2 sprays at the same spot. Update: upon giving this a few wearings I realized it smells rancid in the drydown.
