Ard al Zaafaran Midnight Oud Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce (Unisex)

Very strong and amazing OUD in this cologne, I recommend this to anyone that wants to get into OUD whether it's by itself or layered, incredible fragrance!

I have the oil roll-on version of this fragrance from when I first began buying ouds, then learned that if you want sillage the spray works better. As a woman, I tend toward fragrances marketed toward men, because I highly prefer spice, incense, resins, and woods over fruity or floral scents. The attar didn't enchant me immediately. All I could smell was the oregano. After a few months though, I found myself going to it more and more, then adding the blue bottle to my collection. Ard al Zaafran's Midnight Oud, to me, has the green notes which are evocative of ozone in the air after a rain, piles of wet firewood, and a subtle vanilla background that makes for a complex, unidentifiable fragrance from a faraway place. If you are looking for a strong oud base note, however, you'll not find it here. But I love it. And an additional note, Intense Oud's customer service is absolutely impeccable. If you can choose them as your seller for your oud fixation, do so.Midnight Oud fits a perfect fragrance niche among my others:Swissarabian Shaghaf Oud- with its gourmand praline-saffron richnessLattafa Awraq al Oud- spicy, creamy and aldehydicLattafa Raghba Wood Intense- all campfire, burnt marshmallows, leather and spice bazaarFranck Olivier Oud Vanille- exactly like the nameSwissarabian Dehn el Oodh Malaki- dry woods, oud all the way-and several oils by Al Rehab and Al Haramain

A strong , heavy, long lasting scent. Love it!

If you like and own Swiss Arabian ( white bottle of Shagaf Oud) , you will love it . Does not need to be maturated. Perfect niche perfume. Very good longevity( at least 8-10 hours). Good seliage. Very happy with this perfume.

This perfume smells horrible. It smells like bug spray. This was so disappointing.

Smells very strong

Thank you Amazing, I love it

To the untrained nose this is a spitin image of Amouage Interlude Man at a fraction of the cost.This stuff has the same silage and projection power as interlude man. It has that deep sweet Incense smell that last literally for days on clothing. This would be a repeat buy but to be honest with the amount of bottles I have in rotation and only needing one or two sprays of this due to the strength this bottle may last me a good 5-7 years lol.When I first got into fragrances I was like all the others spending thousands of dollars on fragrances. I had a great collection and after awhile of being in the game the thrill of hunting and collecting bottles got old. I’m fine with buying decants and clones now. These clone houses have gotten so close it makes no sense to spend hundreds on a bottle unless you are truly a fan and want the real bottle the clone was inspired by.
