Swiss Arabian Private Oud - Luxury Products From Dubai - Long Lasting, Addictive Personal Perfume Oil Fragrance - A Seductive Signature Aroma - 0.4 Oz

This fragrance oil is so beautifully packaged in a black leather-textured presentation box. Definitely wasn't expecting the wonderful packaging, which complements the quality of the bottle that the oil comes in!! This would make a nice gift to someone who loves fragrances. The box and the design of the bottle are very classy, and such high quality that it looks like it would have cost much more. The lid and glass bottle are heavy weight, substantial.The fragrance itself is hard to describe. My first impression was that it was very strong of baby powder and vetiver. First impression was that I liked it and also disliked it at the same time. It definitely smells very similar if not identical to what some of my elderly Arabic female relatives wear!! There's a strong matronly vibe to this, but I might be thinking it's a scent for a situ because of the association with older women I know who are wearing this or similar. Definitely an Arabic perfume, which I know is quite trendy right now. This isn't a perfume for everyone, and it's not a safe blind buy unless you already kind of know what to expect from Arabic perfumes. I know that's not saying much, as there are literally thousands of such fragrances, but I don't really know how explain it otherwise. I think some people would absolutely hate this smell, and others would find it very appealing.It's a somewhat floral scent, and while oud is definitely there, it's not as strong a presence as would be expected by the name. I was worried it might smell too masculine, as oud is more associated with masculine products. It seems more of a feminine fragrance, just a touch of oud. There's definitely chocolate aroma after it has dried down on the skin. It's a much more complex perfume also than what I had expected. To me, the main note I notice is vetiver! I don't particularly like vetiver. My mother insists this perfume smells awful and that it smells like "old Avon." I think the vetiver is why she said that.This does last a long time on the skin. I would recommend it hands down for that reason alone! I am so sick of buying endless bottles of stuff labeled "eau de parfum" that linger less than 30 minutes!! Not being nose-blind here lol, I do own several good perfumes that last all day...and quite a few that should have been labeled as body mist!! So if you want a lasting, generally pleasant fragrance--buy this!! It does last longer than some other essential oils that I wear, and it's longer lasting than most any spray-on perfumes!!This also comes with the option of a dip-stick or a roller ball. I hope I can keep the product clean using the wand. This fragrance layers well with some others I have tried.Overall, I do like this, and feel comfortable wearing it outside the home. It smells like it should have cost much more. It smells rich!! I do recommend it, but it's not for everyone. It's not something you're gonna find at typical American chain retailers. It is a different balance of fragrance than what we typically can buy here, so that's exotic...and a risk that it might not be appealing to everyone. Thankfully this has an excellent price, so go ahead and try it!!

Private Oud is a well-balanced perfume that strikes a perfect harmony between feminine and masculine scents, with a slight feminine leaning in my opinion. The top notes of vanilla and amber create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the middle notes of floral notes add a touch of elegance. The base notes of smoky and earthy notes provide a depth and sophistication that lingers on the skin. I personally love this perfume and can envision myself wearing it daily. However, it’s important to note that a little goes a long way, so it’s best to use it sparingly.Overall, this is my first experience with Swiss Arabian, and I’m thoroughly impressed. I’m already planning to purchase more of their products in the future.Private Musk, it’s absolutely true to the notes it claims to have. It begins with the delightful combination of caramel and candy (but it’s not overpoweringly sweet, it’s quite subtle). Then, it transitions to the warm and earthy notes of saffron and orange, and finally, it concludes with a captivating amber scent. If you’re a fan of these notes in perfumes, I highly recommend this one. I can easily envision it becoming one of my daily go-to fragrances. However, I do wish it included a coffee note. I believe it would simply elevate the fragrance and create a perfect balance. That’s just my personal preference, though. As with all Swiss Arabian perfumes, a small amount goes a long way, and it will last throughout the day

I’m not a big perfume guy, but the fragrance is exactly what I was looking for. That being said it doesn’t last more than couple of hours.

When you first smell it, it is a warm intoxicating chocolate smell. Then about 1 minute into smelling the perfume you get a chocolate plum smell (reminds me exactly like a Holiday dessert ❤️😍). After the dry down, it's a warm and spicy tone with the notes of the chocolate plum coming through. It's absolutely stunning and very much for the gourmand lovers! It is a powerhouse and not much is needed, after 2 dabs on my neck (it includes a rollarball you can swap out for it), my husband was able to smell me even after I left the room! It's loud and lasting, but not obnoxious! I would definitely give it a try especially for the price! I would say this is a Winter scent but you could definitely wear it year round 💗 Private Oud will be one of my staples from now on 🤗***edit: it's a more mature version of Choco Musk with a heavier chocolate and fruit note! For me the more I smell, it's not really plum but a cherry note I get! It's smells exactly like the chocolate covered cherries you get at the christmas time! Cherry isnt a note in this oil, but since the plum is a little deeper, it resembles cherry without the tart note. Very lovely and would definitely get again!!

It's a white flower scent, 100% the same as the smell of bathroom tissue. It's a decent scent. The downside is that the scent isn't rich and I have sensitive skin. When I applied it to my arms, I didn't get a skin rash, but after applying it, my neck hurt so much and felt like it was soaked. When I woke up, I had a skin rash around my neck. A lot of this came up and I immediately washed it off. As a person who is crazy about perfume, this perfume is more of an air freshener than a perfume. Don't apply it to your skin, but apply it to places like the ends of your clothes or hair ties. I recommend applying it without touching the body. It lasts very well.
