Black Oudh suits anyone after a woody spiced fragrance with real weight, built for cooler weather and evening wear rather than a light daytime spritz. The cedar-and-citrus opening keeps it from feeling flat, and the resinous amber base gives it the kind of presence that community sillage votes describe as moderate to strong.

Black Oudh opens on cedar needles, rosemary, lemon and bergamot, moving into a spiced cedar and guaiac wood heart before settling into resins, amber and musk. Longevity votes lean moderate to long lasting, with a share rating it eternal, and sillage runs moderate to strong across a sizeable sample of voters.
Black Oudh opens sharp and green, with cedar needles, rosemary, lemon and bergamot giving a bright, resinous start rather than a sweet or fruity one. The heart is built on cedar, warming spices and guaiac wood, giving a dry, woody-spicy character with real depth. The base brings resins, amber and musk together for a warm, slightly smoky finish. Overall the composition reads as a classic woody spicy structure, layered and resinous, with the citrus top keeping the opening from feeling heavy and the guaiac wood adding a faintly smoky edge through the middle.
The opening stays bright for a short while, with the lemon and bergamot lifting the cedar and rosemary before fading within the first stretch of wear. As the citrus drops back, the spiced cedar and guaiac wood heart takes over, giving the fragrance its main woody-spicy identity for the middle hours. Further in, the resins, amber and musk base builds steadily, turning the composition warmer and slightly smoky. By the drydown, the woody amber base note dominates, with only a trace of the original spice remaining — a fragrance that moves from a crisp, cool opening to a dense, warm finish.
Fragrantica votes on longevity split fairly evenly between moderate and long lasting, each taking just over a third of the vote, with a further share rating it eternal and a small minority calling it weak. That combination points to a fragrance that generally holds up well over a wearing. Sillage votes agree it projects at a moderate level for most voters, with a meaningful strong-to-enormous share on top and only a small intimate group — read together, a composition that announces itself without needing a heavy hand. Both readings come from a reasonably sized voter sample, so the pattern can be read with fair confidence.
Season votes point firmly to the colder months, with autumn and winter together accounting for the large majority and summer barely registering. That fits the woody, spiced, resinous profile, which reads as heavier and warmer than a typical daytime scent — better suited to layering under a jacket on a cool evening than to summer heat.
Black Oudh is presented as unisex on both the catalogue listing and Fragrantica's own classification. Community gender votes lean toward male, but the woody, spiced composition does not rely on any note that reads as exclusively masculine or feminine, and it wears comfortably either way.
Black Oudh shares its accords with Midnight Oud by Ard Al Zaafaran, both built around a woody spiced frame finished with resinous amber. Black Oudh's cedar-and-citrus opening gives it a slightly cooler, greener start than a typical oud composition, while still landing in the same dense, warm territory by the drydown.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
