Morning All,
Looking for a new Oud so thought i would ask those in the know. I currently have the Acqua Di Palma Oud and Creed Royal Oud. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I saw Mehdi Haddab perform once at a Womad festival. They call him the Hendrix of the electric oud.
Tom Ford oud wood from the private collection. Superb in my opinion, probably one of the best ouds. On a lighter budget Tom Ford Noir bears a similar, less complex, similarity (in my opinion anyhow)
That’s a negative I couldn’t even play the recorder at school.

Harrods is full of them. All the big names have multiple offerings to choose from now.
Selfridges in Manchester is our nearest store for a good selection of fragrances however as you have stated there a large quantity to chose from. The problem is i end up not being able to smell anything as consequence of the vast choices. Hence wanting a few pointers
Sure and I did think that at the time of replying. Doh
I bought the ADP oud that you have for my brother. It's probably on the very strong end of the scale
I think Christian Dior have some nice ones from their expensive range but I haven't looked into details because I don't need any ATM. I bought 250ml (I think) of Tom ford wood for a crazy high amount of money in duty free a few years back. I used it a fair bit and still have a lot left.
MFK do a good range of oud fragrances .
I'm a big fan of Oud - I pretty much exclusively use Montale, whose range is extensive and range from the intense to the more mellow - https://montaleparfums.com/en/
I can’t stand oud but had the creed royal oud which I loved but didn’t think it smelt anything like oud
Love Creed Royal Oud, but as you say there's not much actual oud going on. Am also in the market, so watching this thread with interest.
Why not buy a few samples online, cost probs £4 ish a pop
Thanks, yes all ready done t which is how I ended up with creed royal oud and adp oud.

Check out Maison Lancôme Oud Bouquet... the wife and I share it. Probably my all time favourite scent and lasts ages.
Dior Oud Ispahan is also top notch.
An older scent that was good value for money at the time (if you can track a bottle down) is Tiger Oud from Roberto Cavalli. Although seems that it’s rare these days and sellers are wanting top dollar (I’ve got a couple of bottles stashed away).
If you have a Le Labo store near you, also worth popping in to try a few of their scents. They do an Oud, but in September they release their city editions ... and their Dubai scent is lovely. Only sell them in September though.
I have a 50/50 mixture of oud and sandalwood knocked up by a very nice chap in Berlin - it just needs a small dab. Whilst the website seems to have been designed in the 1990s, re-assuringly the shop feels more like entering the 1950s and the concept originated in the 1920s.

In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Depends on budget.
No limit? Oud Wood by Tom Ford. You can get a 10ml atomiser for £35 ish before you blow £200
Lower budget? Dunhill Icon Absolute. Loads of sellers on EBay £40 for 100ml
Just ordered a sample of this Dubai scent as its just been released. Looking forward to it
did the same and its just arrived - i like it - oud/leather vibes
you can’t beat oud-wood tom ford or maybe tuscan leather, another good option

I have got some floris honey oud very nice
Oud Wood and tobacco oud by Tom Ford are both lovely

2 of my favourites at the moment are technically both 'clones' though they are good enough in their own right and last most of the day.
lattafa oud for glory
charuto tobacco vanille
ordering the oud for glory, looks to be right up my street, thanks for suggestion.

Evey time I see this thread title I marvel at the sophistication of the TZ-UK community. Then I remember it's not about Middle Eastern stringed instruments.
Oud is an odd fecal scent. I wonder why animalistic scents are so popular? I do enjoy my oud shaving soap from lothur soaps.

The nearest fragrance I have is aoud lemon and mint from Mancera. Not pure oud but I love it!
