Oudi by Ard Al Zaafaran Eau de Parfum 100ml

Oud by Ard Al Zaafaran – Unisex with depth, warmth and quiet elegance

Oud by Ard Al Zaafaran interprets agarwood as a modern, wearable signature: woody, warm and cleanly structured, softened by a gentle rosy contour and a tidy, powdery finish. The composition feels grounded and composed without becoming heavy. From the first second, a coherent picture emerges: noble wood, a hint of spice, earthy roundness, topped with a delicate floral brightness – like polished panels in warm evening light beside fresh leaves on cool stone. Everything reads orderly, finely balanced, unisex.

Character & mood

The fragrance builds on the noble dryness of oud and pairs it with rosy brightness and a cosy, honey-warm depth. A light spicy glow adds liveliness while a subtle green dryness lends contour. As it develops, the woody base turns creamier, edges soften and the texture settles into calm, velvety smoothness. The impression is one of groomed warmth and discreet presence – ideal where poise, focus and composure matter.

The journey on skin

Opening: A clear oud impulse introduces the composition – dry, refined, lightly resinous. A rosy facet brightens the wood, patchouli adds gentle earthiness. The beginning feels focused and grounded, its texture recalling silky-matte wood.

Heart: Warmth intensifies; amber lays a golden sheen over the wooden edges. A subtle spicy glow – think a fine touch of cinnamon – rounds the centre and invites. Cedar lines keep the profile clean and straight; the rosy brightness remains as a thin film, preserving openness.

Drydown: Green, dry nuances of moss bring elegance and depth while creamy woods smooth the texture. A clean, powdery veil settles pleasantly on the skin; the woody core stays recognisable – now quieter, calmer, intimate. Development moves in soft steps, without jolts.

Wear, sillage & longevity

Sillage reads controlled and agreeable; projection stays present at arm’s length. Longevity is convincingly long, especially on well-moisturised skin. On textiles, the warm woody base fixes reliably without turning sharp. The arc remains even: from crisp structure to supple softness, ending in a lasting, powder-clean finish.

Occasion & style

Oud by Ard Al Zaafaran suits business days, appointments, dinners and quiet evenings. Its woody-warm signature pairs well with cashmere, wool, leather and structured denim; minimalist looks gain depth, classic outfits acquire composure. The profile is everyday-friendly yet polished for evenings – a companion that signals reliability.

Unisex – finely balanced

On warmer skin, the warming depth moves forward; on cooler skin, the rosy contour is clearer and the woods feel straighter. The character remains constant: cultivated oud with balanced warmth, earthy grounding and a powdery close. The result is unisex wearability that adapts to different styles without losing its handwriting.

Application & layering tips

For extra softness, apply a light, unscented sandalwood or vanilla body lotion underneath to emphasise the creamy drydown. For contrast, a discreet touch of citrus cologne can clarify the opening. On textiles, a little goes a long way – a single spray often suffices. On skin, depth unfolds beautifully at warm points such as chest, nape and the crook of the arm. Between skin and fabric, a calm, warm aura forms that accompanies with structure.
