Our Black Oud Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original Black Oud perfume launched by the Al Haramain brand in 2012. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Musk and Cedar; middle notes are Amber and Herbal notes; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Patchouli, and Vanilla. This formulation eliminates the volatile ethanol carrier found in traditional sprays, resulting in a dense molecular structure that adheres to the epidermis with greater stability.
Fragrance Notes
- Top Notes: Musk, Cedar
- Middle Notes: Amber, Herbal Accords
- Base Notes: Agarwood (Oud), Patchouli, Vanilla
How It Performs
This oil achieves a linear evaporation curve, meaning the transition from the herbal-cedar opening to the oud-patchouli base is gradual rather than abrupt. In laboratory testing, the sillage remains consistent within a 2-meter radius for the first 4 hours. Because the oil lacks an alcohol spike, the diffusion is controlled and dense. Users can expect a total longevity of 10 to 12 hours on the skin, depending on hydration levels and ambient humidity.
Best Times to Wear
The molecular weight of the Agarwood and Amber components makes this oil ideal for temperatures below 20°C. It is technically optimized for evening wear and formal environments where a persistent, non-volatile scent trail is required. The lack of alcohol makes it safer for use in sun-exposed areas compared to traditional perfumes.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 12+ hour skin retention | Lacks the initial high-diffusion ‘blast’ of alcohol |
| No synthetic alcohol chemical sting | Slower development time on cold skin |
| Linear scent profile remains true over time | Requires manual application to pulse points |
How It Compares
When compared to the original EDP, this oil reconstruction offers a smoother integration of the musk and cedar top notes. While the alcohol-based original relies on rapid evaporation for projection, this oil uses skin heat to release aroma chemicals like Iso E Super and natural resins slowly. The result is a more intimate but significantly more durable scent profile that maintains its structural integrity for twice the duration of a standard spray.
What Customers Say
“The oud note is incredibly stable; it doesn’t turn sour after six hours like the alcohol versions often do.”
“I prefer the oil for its smoothness. There is no harsh chemical opening, just pure wood and musk from the start.”
Any Questions?
Is this oil safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, the absence of denatured alcohol reduces the risk of skin desiccation and irritation.
How much should I apply?
Due to the 98% concentration accuracy, 1-2 drops on pulse points are sufficient for a full day of wear.
Does the price represent the quality?
Yes, our pricing (Rs. 1,500 – Rs. 4,500 depending on volume) reflects the high cost of the raw Agarwood extracts and fixatives used.
