The review
Worth a try. That is where Intense Black Oud lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Oud Khôl.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Khôl's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: saffron, pink pepper and bergamot up top, oud, rose and incense in the middle, vanilla, amber and patchouli underneath — the shape of Guerlain Oud Khôl.
Top
- saffron
- pink pepper
- bergamot
Heart
- oud
- rose
- incense
Base
- vanilla
- amber
- patchouli
Powdered kohl dryness over a sweet amber undertow; the most nocturnal of Guerlain's ouds.
