Oud Bouquet Eau de Parfum

This is not a great dupe as it stands . HOWEVER - you layer this with something nice and peachy / fruity ...... and you're in the same ball park. This is a bit of an "acquired taste" -- it's VERY dense and DRY. Not really a blind buy ..... but it cannot be dismissed. This grew on me (but it took a LONG time.) GRADE: B minus. the best quote was "Kraft caramels cooking on a campfire in a market place in Egypt". There is NO detectable ROSE in this . Like -- ZERO.

I've had Shaghaf Oud for 2 years so very familiar with it but never tested Lancôme Oud. I received a tester with a purchase, what a shocker, 100% same perfume, I can not distinguish them. I appreciate Shaghaf more.

I have both old and new but hadn’t worn them for a while since everything was packed in storage for about 6 months, a jacket I took out of storage still smells of the ‘old one’ on it as though the day I had sprayed it. Such a yummy rich honey boozey smell to my nose. I just love it

Horrible... just horrible. It smells dated, matronly and just awful. I washed off the stench after a few minutes. Couldn't stand this hot mess!

This fragrance is outstanding masterpiece. I laugh when I see when french perfumes are being compared with arabian cheap liquids. I tried these 'affordable dupes' and it's like iPhone made with axe. I will not spend even $1 for this perfume segment. It's better to have just one good perfume instead of owning these 'dupes'. Sorry all arabian dupes lovers. I exclude Amouage for sure even though not a big fan of this brand, except couple of compositions :) Oud bouquet is volumetric, chick and great. Saffron, oud and chocolate are prominent and well blender. 10 out of 10.

purpleanka, what are you going on about? The only reason why Shaghaf oud is first is because more people up voted it. Are you even looking at the figures? Also let's not pretend as it this fragrance isn't duping typical middle eastern Oud and roses frags which have been around for ages

People downvoting the similarity to the other bottle of the same fragrance should be banned from this site. What are you even doing? This is not helpful. They are 99.9% the same perfume, with the same name, in a different bottle. And you’re voting “not similar”? Now the cheap dupe is rated higher because of you. This is ridiculous.

I liked the florals in Oud Satin Mood better, they are richer tones of red, fuchsia and purple. Here the rose is dry, and the emphasis is on the oud. I smell both realistic oud and something synthetic and scratchy; From a distance however, the sillage is soft and diffusive. A bit sweet for a man.

I have this and am willing to part with it for the right price. Located in Australia.

If anyone has a bottle of the 2015 formulation they would like to part ways with please let me know I will buy from you :)

There are some fragrances that are so beautiful it's overwhelming and makes it hard to write a coherent review. This is absolutely one of them. idk. Stunning. Perfect. Masterpiece. There's not much I could say that hasn't already been said. I'm lucky enough to own a full bottle of the old formulation. Although other mind-blower fragrances are created each year, the fact that this is so classic and even 'traditional' only intensifies my emotional attachment to it. For me it's ahegao inducing sexy, comforting, sophisticated, warm and deep. Not enough praise could be given. Anyone who likes it could wear it. It's beast mode for sure, and sweet (that's sweet, NOT gourmand) with a complex yet gentle woody/slightly powdery base. Rose and saffron create a little lift but amplifies the magnetism. It is heavy though. It could be for all year round and for any occasion with a possible exception for high summer and ultra-casual situations. It's my equivalent to Chanel no.5, my roman empire. The fact that this dna is one of the basic foundations of middle eastern perfumery proves that it will always reign supreme. Truly legendary.

Great stuff in my opinion. For those who are looking for a cheaper alternative could try Swiss Arabian's Shaghaf Oud.

Don't buy 2023 version. It is weak and bad!

There’s a lot of fragrance that have tried to copy this, but this still remains the best version I’ve smelled. The composition is well balanced and smooth, while others tend to be overly sweet or dirty/oudy. It’s more woody that actual Oud, to me it comes across as a clean and warm cedar/sandalwood combo, not Oud. The praline is very prominent. Worth a blind buy but I suggest a 5-10ml decant because this is strong and one or two sprays is more than enough.

I like it. This is really good for Oud + Rose beginner. I got Oud Satin Mood first and it's ways too strong and sweet, I cannot stand it for long time, even it's outdoor. Oud Bouquet does not give me more headache even while I was having a headache (not a good time for try strong oud fragrance 😂) Though this needs some kinds a vibe to pull it off, like bold dark theme or Middle East night or a grown lady/gentleman.

oud, sharp, synthetic--> terrible and intoxicating.... 1/10

A smooth, fluffy, candied-rose gourmand. The oud note is plush, soft, and light, without any of the harsh, medicinal smolder it often has. On my skin, it opens chewy, vanillic, and almost taffy-like, with the woodiness only a subtle undertone. As it dries down the oud note gradually comes forward, adding its fuzzy woodiness to the candied, lactonic sweetness of the mid and top notes. It's elegant and cozy. Like standing beside a wood stove, eating soft, chewy vanilla taffy topped with candied rose petals.

This perfume was my first oud scent back in 2015. And I still think that it has no decent rival. Extraordinary composition, very deep, sexy,strong wood scent, even hard to describe. Longevity is 12+. Projection is a bit less but still there for decet let's say 6 hours. I tried so many oud perfumes, but this one is still my number one. Even after so many years. I would definitely recommed it to oud lovers if you get a chance to try it.❣️

This is a very nice and pretty oud perfume. Don't blind buy though - goes without saying but make sure you LOVE oud and would LOVE to smell of oud before buying.

Absolutely gorgeous! And to make it even more delectable, try layering with Spiriteuse Double Vanille - the sillage is incredible!

First time ever I’m obsessed. Morning, afternoon, evening and night. I need it all time. It’s even a bit terrifying…😉

I am a HUGE frag head. I have wanted Oud Bouquet since 2017, and my husband finally got me a bottle for our two year anniversary, and I am obsessed to say the least. Oud bouquet is an absolute masterpiece. The blend of Oud, wood, rose, praline, and vanilla is swirled “just right” into this incredible juice that actually lasts and projects. It’s one of the most incredible Oud/rose/praline scents I have ever smelled. I’m an oversprayer, but with this particular juice over spraying might turn people off to it due to the Oud and wood. I think it’s beautiful and will spray however much I like and don’t care who doesn’t like it. First spray is intense with Oud and wood, but soon it settles down on the skin to this rosey/praline/vanilla with Oud in the background that compliments my body chemistry like no other. I usually wear baccarat as my signature scent, but getting my hands on this gem has changed it up for me. You also get an incredible deal on it. 3.4oz for 146$ (it was on sale at Lancôme so we snatched it) originally 206$ your still getting a damn good value just because this juice will last long for a lot of people. This juice will be in my arsenal as long as I’m alive because I just love it that damn much. If you don’t like oud or woods, then I would probably stay away from this. The rose and praline don’t come out until it’s settled on the skin for a bit. Lasts about 6-7 hours on clothes and skin. Projection is medium and sillage is amazing. Bottle is gorgeous, and even the newer formula (the one I just got in 2023) it’s still just as strong and beautiful as ever. I love heavy hitters, and this is definitely a heavy hitter. This has become my favorite fragrance EVER in such a short amount of time, and nothing tops baccarat for me. If you love middle eastern fragrances and you love rose and oud and heavy hitters, then you might just love this masterpiece.

[1025] Oud Bouquet is an approachable interpretation of Middle Eastern-style oud for Western tastes. It features the classic rose-oud accord, rounded out by sweet, gourmand notes. OB opens with a mild, woody oud note, not skanky or animalic at all. Rose follows, jammy and sweet. It is a tame example of this accord, feminine and pretty - a good introductory example of oud. As it develops, the gourmand notes emerge, with vanilla initially evident, paving the way to the chocolate praline note. The creamy, nutty chocolate marries surprisingly well with the rose-oud accord, making for an unusual gourmand. It fades to a smooth, sweetly musky woody-vanilla skin scent after some time. There is a polished leather quality to it here. Sillage is strong and longevity is long-lasting. It is a feminine, autumn/winter scent. While I tend to avoid gourmands and very sweet scents, I actually really liked this - the rose-oud elevates the gourmand notes, and it is very well-blended and not disjointed at all. It is an accessible rosd-oud, yet an elevated, grown-up gourmand. 4/5.

I like it. It's a sexy scent, but it's a bit too sweet for me. I've been on a rose kick this autumn. So, I'm layering 1 spritz of this, with 1 spritz of Tiziana Trennzi Porpora (which I find too dark on it's own). I'm loving this combo! These are not scents for the faint of heart, so 2 spritzes in total for an evening out, or a well dressed autumnal weekend is more than enough. This combination says filme noire bougie vixen to me.

I hate it! With all my senses.

Gülün yumuşak bir ud ile birlikte, vanilya ve pralin ile iyi bir şekilde harmanlanarak tatlı, pürüzsüz ve kremsi bir gül-ud yorumuna dönüşümü.. Kokunun açılışında ud ve odunsu notalar baskın bir şekilde hissedilirken, koku tene yerleştikçe (yaklaşık yarım saat kdr sonra) ud geri planda kokunun son anına kadar varlığını hissettirse bile artık baskınlık gül, vanilya ve pralinde. Gülün, vanilya ve pralin ile tatlanmış hali ön plana çıkarak, güçlü bir şekilde kendisini hissettiriyor. Zaman geçip koku yerleştikçe bu tatlı, yumuşak ve kremsi hal alışı, kişinin kullandıkça kokuya daha da bağımlı hale gelmesini sağlıyor. Evet koku tatlı ve kremsi ancak buradaki tatlılık öyle iç bayıcı, ağır bir tatlılık değil. Her şey çok güzel harmanlanmış ve dengelenmiş. Hiçbir nota kişiyi bunaltacak derecede güçlü değil. Açıkçası hem kadına hem de erkeğe hitap eden bir koku olarak tanımlansa da, ud ile birlikte odunsu notaların başlangıçta kendisini hissettirdiği anlarda bile, bu koku benim için kesinlikle kadınsı bir koku. Hatta benim için başlangıçtaki ud ve odunsu notaların hissedildiği anlar kokuya derinlik katan, onu daha çekici bir hale sokan detayların başlangıcı. Belirtmem gereken bir diğer husus ise kokunun kalıcılığının ve yayılımının çok iyi oluşu. Özellikle kış aylarında kullanmayı tercih ettiğim, gün boyu kokusunun varlığıyla beni mutlu eden, girdiğim her ortamda da dikkat çekmeyi başaran bir bağımlılık o benim için.

Tried it for the first time yesterday. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Overall I am pretty picky with rose fragrances as I don’t enjoy much a jammy rose, however this is sweet but not syrupy or nauseating. Definitely a night time scent and a very classy but sexy fragrance. My brother also liked it a lot and that’s surprising considering that his fave women’s fragrance is d&g light blue. Earned a spot in my to buy list.

If prailines and cream icecream came as a fragrance, this would be it. I have Oud Satin Mood but theyre different. Worth a buy still if you have the OSM.

Oud Bouquet smells like sexual enchantment, with caramel sweetened creamy vanilla, waves of silky oud, and soft floral kisses of subtle rose and enticing saffron. It lasts nearly 12 hours, projects far above average, and creates a beautiful aroma trail for the first 3-4 hours. This is an extremely stunning scent. With vanilla and praline, this dessert is sweet and a little seductive. Smooth, pleasant to wear, and little sexy.

This fragrance feels like a Western interpretation of popular middle Eastern perfumery. If you're looking to experience a perfume from the East but don't want something too strange and scary, this could be a good introductory perfume. It hails with classic notes from Eastern perfumes like Arabian Oud: oud, rose, and saffron. The oud comes through immediately, bold and rich and a little animalic. It blends with the praline, resulting in a sweet, gourmand, almost chocolatey scent. I also get a little of the saffron at the beginning, the metallic bitterness blending with the more skanky aspects of the oud and giving it some nice character. The rose is quite bold, the powderiness balances well with the sweet praline and keeps the roses from getting lost in the mix. You might want to steer clear of this one if powdery scents aren't your thing. I'm not a powder fan, and I'm enjoying this perfume much more on day 2 after the rose note has worn off (this perfume lasts and lasts) .
