Ard al Zaafaran Midnight Oud Eau De Parfum Spray for Unisex, 3.4 Ounce

I have the oil roll-on version of this fragrance from when I first began buying ouds, then learned that if you want sillage the spray works better. As a woman, I tend toward fragrances marketed toward men, because I highly prefer spice, incense, resins, and woods over fruity or floral scents. The attar didn't enchant me immediately. All I could smell was the oregano. After a few months though, I found myself going to it more and more, then adding the blue bottle to my collection. Ard al Zaafran's Midnight Oud, to me, has the green notes which are evocative of ozone in the air after a rain, piles of wet firewood, and a subtle vanilla background that makes for a complex, unidentifiable fragrance from a faraway place. If you are looking for a strong oud base note, however, you'll not find it here. But I love it. And an additional note, Intense Oud's customer service is absolutely impeccable. If you can choose them as your seller for your oud fixation, do so.Midnight Oud fits a perfect fragrance niche among my others:Swissarabian Shaghaf Oud- with its gourmand praline-saffron richnessLattafa Awraq al Oud- spicy, creamy and aldehydicLattafa Raghba Wood Intense- all campfire, burnt marshmallows, leather and spice bazaarFranck Olivier Oud Vanille- exactly like the nameSwissarabian Dehn el Oodh Malaki- dry woods, oud all the way-and several oils by Al Rehab and Al Haramain

It's strong. Oud scents smells alike but different. This one smells more like tobacco and wood.

A strong , heavy, long lasting scent. Love it!

If you like and own Swiss Arabian ( white bottle of Shagaf Oud) , you will love it . Does not need to be maturated. Perfect niche perfume. Very good longevity( at least 8-10 hours). Good seliage. Very happy with this perfume.

Terrible stink. I cannot stand it. Total mistake blind buy on recommendation from Youtubers.

Smells very strong

Super high quality clone of Amouage Interlude Man, aka "The Blue Beast", which is roughly $300 for the same sized bottle. The quality of this in relation to the price is utterly amazing. By far the best clone that I own. The atomizer is even pressurized, and is better than the atomizers on most of my high priced colognes, no lie.I have a .27 ounce decant of Interlude Man. I use one spray of that and then layer it with two sprays of this on my scarf and you literally can't tell the difference for the entire day.For me, this scent is exclusively for when it's below 40 degrees, and then it shines in all it's glory. The other day, I walked past a female outside with this on my scarf and she smiled, winked at me and said, "you smell so manly!". Be careful wearing this indoors because it can absolutely choke people out in a heated building. Outdoors in the cold, however, I can't think of anything else I own that's better!I also like spraying this on top of one of my old car air fresheners when it's cold, or even a spray or two on my pillow cases in the winter months is nice. It's awesome because at this price point, I can use it as liberally as I want and not have to worry about using up my OG Interlude man while getting that same exact experience!

Es un perfume dificil de usar ya que es muy fuerte, tiene que tener cuidado con la cantidad a aplicar.El aroma me encanta, concidero que hay que ser egoista para usarlo ya que no es el gusto de la mayoria de mujeres. Perfume muy masculino, con aromas a incienso un poco dulce por lo que en mi opinion no es para verano. Lo uso en otoño, invierno y primavera.Si lo uso en el trabajo me aplico 2 a 3 spray, es perfecto para usarlo en exteriores.Longevidad en mi piel tarda 12 horas proyectando unas 2 o 3 horas dependiendo de la cantidad que aplique y de la hora 4 a 6 deja una estela en cualquier corredor o habitacion por donde yo camine.Al dia siguiente al bañarme sale una estela de aroma exquisito de mi piel. Tenia muchos años de no tener un perfume como este. Tengo 12 perfumes desde Gucci, Dior, Channel para mencionar entre marcas conocidas y pocos logran esa longevidad en mi piel.Lo compararia en LONGEVIDAD con Sauvage EDT y EDP, tambien como YSL EDP, Armani Absolu o Armani Perfumo.Definitivamente lo volvere a comprar, super impresionado por el precio que pague.
