A fragrance with 1000 faces

The fragrance opens with some animalic oud, tart rose, and a balsamic sauna infusion note. After a few minutes, the scent softens and the animalic notes recede, leaving dry, warm wood, deep and dark oud and the rose becomes softer and recedes into the background. The fragrance becomes softer overall and a little more floral, but still remains dark due to the pervasive leather note and the now resinous oud, the sour note from the opening disappears completely and a minimally sweet lipstick note comes through, which makes the fragrance outstanding. The fragrance is highly complex throughout, it is almost impossible to pick out all the notes, the oud is animalic at the beginning yes, but not as strong as many reviews and statements here make it seem. Overall, an extremely interesting fragrance with many facets, unfortunately too expensive. Performance is outstanding, the fragrance smells extremely high quality.

You raise the "dark" quality to a new level...!

Hello everyone,

today I would like to say a few words about Dubai - Oud.

A few years ago, I could never have imagined that I would be talking about a fragrance from a house like Nabeel. Because almost 8 or 9 years ago I tested a very wide range of the "best" oud fragrances (high-quality) and at that time it was not mine and really not my world. Maybe I was too young, too inexperienced or both... Today I understand these fragrances better and see them differently!
Many years have passed and I no longer run away screaming (well sometimes I do, but only if you overdo it subtly). Now I don't just smell the animalistic cowshed, but other - exciting and really beautiful chords.

One thing by the way, I already know some of ALD, EO and co. and know what absurd quality they offer..., but I think Nabeel is really great for the price they charge. Of course they cost really good money, no question, but at 700€ (upwards) you really notice the love for the fragrance and the quality. In the SINNE of the make times 1, 2, 3 splashes in addition... compared to many other houses!

About the fragrance:

It swings around wildly with the oud club and right at the beginning you are almost caught directly by it. It's dark - woody and very animalic! There's no need to beat around the bush! The real and noticeable main player of the fragrance is the oud, as the perfume name says, but the scent becomes "somewhat" more pleasant after 30 minutes and certain accords enter the room
You notice a certain interplay between the woody notes with the resinous, soft notes and the patchouli. There is also a real variety of oriental and spicy notes, such as incense, tobacco, cardamom + LEDER and some "TOUCH" of balsamic notes.

The H/S is gigantic in the sense of 20h and more,
anyone who claims otherwise ok...., sure...,
but I can't take that seriously!

Recommend:

If you like or love this kind of thing = sure?
Newbies difficult, because it takes x - xx attempts and sometimes YEARS (like me), but one filling fits ;)

And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

Oud, oud and more oud

After a somewhat longer break or rather perfume break, I have ventured back into this beautiful topic or hobby to possibly test new fragrances, as an old phase of my life was/is coming to an end, so I no longer want to wear fragrances that I wore more often in the past. I still love/appreciate the (natural) raw material oud in its purest form, I probably won't let go of it until the grave, which is why I was looking for a fragrance that contains exactly that - a beautiful, high-quality oud, admittedly quite boldly formulated, since oud in its purest form comes along/acts extremely complex. There are many fragrances with oud, but only very few perfumes contain natural eagle wood in a usable quality, even here, I don't want to judge whether high-quality oud is used here or there, the time has become too modern for that, or rather you can imitate a lot (authentically), but I still orient myself according to what I have been able to smell of oud so far in different forms/types/qualities, that's how I (judge).
After my research began, I found the fragrance house Nabeel and the line (Spirit Of Dubai) as well as the oud relatively quickly - not difficult to recognize. After looking at several reviews and communicating with the fragrance house itself and its employees, I found out more information. According to them, the oud in the oud should come from a 200 year old tree from wild growth and indeed it smells very similar even nicer/rounder/deeper than the Indian oud I have with me - beautiful! I don't think I need to explain much about the fragrance notes, as for me some many fragrance notes that are given are obsolete for me, as I mainly only perceive oud and in the background notes that support, not relevant for me to perform these, too complex built.

In any case, this perfume is a blessing for me and exactly what I was looking for, namely a very strong oud fragrance that knows how to convince me, which has become quite difficult, as I have already experienced many things in this regard.

For me, Nabeel - Oud smells simply dreamlike, expressed in associations: profound, complex, intense, high-quality, sexy, woody, earthy, somewhat animalistic, calming, centered, deeply connected to the earth, divine, attractive, as if I would come into purity with my spirit. Soo, I've just thrown a lot of thoughts into the fountain to express what I feel or feel for this fragrance.

To be honest, I have to mention that I have developed significantly when it comes to oud, so that I would no longer classify some of the perfumes I have rated in this way, but that's the way it is, you don't stand still but continue to develop.
I am curious to see what other fragrances from the house will smell like and now we come succinctly to S&H

Longevity: More than 10 hours are easily inside, even the next day or 24 hours are no problem for this perfume.

Projection: Varies from day to day or weather conditions, but I find the projection to be strong/intense, which only slowly decreases throughout the day.

Top!!!!!

With this in mind, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas in advance and a Happy New Year 2024

He can what

I magically came across a tester of "Oud" by Nabeel "Dubai". Immediately after spraying on Oud, the scent is almost rather too strong for me. I consider loosening the head of the tester to take a smaller dose next time.
I smell oud and something fruity, yes something like pineapple and something floral-like. I read that there is an osmanthus accord, I think I recognize that.

After a few minutes on the skin, the scent has already changed a lot and has become skin closer. The fruity notes have now been pushed back. I smell flowers. And woods.
With "Oud", there is not one clear note that stands out in particular. There are, at any time, a variety An scents to smell, which weave well into each other.
After just under an hour, I mean to smell myrrh, and to feel how the fragrance becomes even softer.

I am in possession of eaglewood splinters for incense. I find the "Oud" of Dubai moves very close to this "untreated" eaglewood and thus exudes something pure and clear.

So far, the fragrance is wowing me. I have not applied it often. It's not an everyday scent for me. I see him on special occasions on me. The sillage is very very strong: 1 spray on the skin is enough to scent an apartment. The longevity is the same, 12 h upwards. It is a very valuable perfume, which one may expect from the price.
Oud Oud, noble you are, and good.

Conclusion: a strong fragrance.
Must. you. test.
