Fakhrul Oudh - Oud Fragrance - Wood Scent Spray for Men by Al Aneeq Perfumes (100ml Eau de Parfum)

I've now bought this item a number of times and gifted it to friends and family too.The scent is wonderful, very long lasting and gets better as it warms on your skin. Literally two or three quick squirts last the whole day and I can even smell it on the clothes the next day.It is quite 'masculine' with a woody, musky aroma but could also be worn by a lady as it's not overpowering.I've also bought a number of the other fragrances made by this company and they're all really really nice and very long lasting.My partner loves the smell and she has also began to wear some of the other fragrances.The packaging is subtle but classy and it is definately worth the price point. I've bought more well known fragrances over the years and none match this for longevity, aroma and value.

Bought for the father in law.. he smelled it once as someone didn't like the scent and left it out. I cannot understand why!? It's gorgeous! I'd even say it could be a multi -sex perfume. But it definitely airs on the side of masculinity. Stay a while and changed on the skin into a sweeter note. The Oud is very present, it's a warm deep scent. It's honestly so impressive. 10/10!

Firstly the visual aspect is spot on, very attractive bottle design which speaks authenticity, the bottle is quite weighty and the gold plating adds that value to it. 5/5The scent itself however is what is really important. DISCLAIMER : If you are looking for an ‘oudy’ scent without alteration such as ‘Oud Malaki’ Or ‘Oud Muattaq’ then this is NOT the one you want to purchase. With that being said the scent itself is a beautiful smokey vanilla very nicely covering the deep Oud scent that is subtle but very noticeable. It is a sweet yet quite masculine scent that is very intriguing and will have you sniffing yourself. The longevity is still being tested however it will vary from different skin types and clothes materials, it’s 5 hours in and still noticeable. I noticed that it is very important to let the perfume sit for a while to truly shape it’s beautiful form and YOU DO NOT need more than 3 sprays at max as this is quite overpowering in its top notes (Saffron, Spicy, Nutmeg). The scent MIGHT come across sometimes as “burnt vanilla” which I think the company could work on to give a more “smokey” effect to it, however you could bypass this issue by not over-spraying and I have personally not really found this to be an issue. It’s definitely not a perfume you want to bathe yourself in just a couple of sprays will do it!PS : This does not smell like any other perfume nor does it seem to be replicating another perfume. I personally own a collection of different Tom Ford scents, and they are not alike, Fakhrul definitely don’t smell cheap and I see it competing with designer perfume, the closest Tom Ford to Fakhrul could be Tom Ford “Tobacco Vanille” however they are still very different but I understand why some see them being similar.Overall it’s a wonderful smell with good longevity - 4/5.Value For money - this is a no brainer, I have spent over £200 on perfumes, and when they still have the slight upper hand (most of it is also completely psychologically) Fakhrul is offering a high class product in a quarter of the price you pay for designer perfumes so this is indefinitely worth every penny. 5/5

I purchased this before Christmas for myself as I love oud guilty limited edition. It’s expensive and I had run out. I know there are many types of oud and I would have to try first before purchasing usually.I chose this after reading the reviews, looking what oils where infused in it, and the fact it was shaped elegantly like my oud guilty bottle.I was not disappointed, in fact I was more than happy, the fragrance is long lasting, people comment often on the smell being very nice. It lifts your mood and looks way more expensive. In fact this box it came in was more elegant than my guilty oud box. It’s also very heavy.I am just about to purchase another for my daughters birthday as she’s uses mine. If your unsure like I was, I can only tell the truth about the positive comments I get and how I feel about it. Well worth the money. I hope they don’t put their price due to good reviews. They would sell far more at this price, as it’s affordable for special occasions, especially lately

Firstly the smell! It’s overarching Vanilla. With a Capital ‘V’! That is where it’s slightly sweet aspect comes from. Around the edges it also has a slight tobacco aspect, but with a very small ‘t’. It also slightly floral aspect. Which I believe gives it its feminine appeal. So all though mainly and unmistakably vanilla... it’s a pretty mixed bunch of smells! However I believe it’s wrong to describe this fragrance as “woody”. Anyone looking to buy a strong masculine “woody” fragrance should stay well clear of this. Secondly the strength of the smell: it’s STRONG! No ’ifs’ and no ‘buts! It’s VERY strong!! One quick squirt onto the palm of a hand and then a wipe of that hand around the neck and jaw line... and even 2 hours later you will be asked what your wearing as soon as you walk into a room. Thirdly... the actual strength of the smell lasts... a VERY long time! Even if you wash the hand you applied it with a couple of hours later... you can still detect it... it also takes on a more sweeter and more floral aspect over time. I personally think it’s ok in small doses... but don’t like constantly whiffing the slightly sweet ice cream like vanilla smell that it gives... over time it simply gets too sickly for me. I won’t be buying it again. But since ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’... others might. One thing I think you can be sure of... you will use so little of it... the 100 ml bottle will last for years!

It smells absolutely lovely.. I love it & so does the husband. Hoghly recommended 😍 😊
