Mid range oud type of perfume

16 replies

zatarontoast · 09/11/2020 15:14

Was in Harrods not so long ago and was - - forced-- encouraged to try some purfumes. They nearly all had oud somewhere in the ingredients but were several hundred pounds at cheapest. Is there a cheaper but still nice version? I'm not into perfume generally so no idea where to start looking. I don't want the oil as seen in Gulf shops, I want an actual perfume, up to about £50.
Any ideas?

Halfeti by Penhaligons will set you back about £150 but it’s known for lasting. It’s gorgeous. Their samples are free!

My OH wears Penhaligons Halfeti. Men and women stop to ask him what he's wearing. It's funny Smile

I love the Monotheme one! Like nag champa incense in a bottle Grin. Ok, I’m aware I might not be selling it to everyone with that description.....

Molton Brown Oudh Accord & Gold - EDP is £120 but they have a 50ml EDT at around £65. They also tend to do discounts in the run up to Christmas so could be worth keeping an eye out.

Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition - a gorgeous, smooth oud.

Here are some reviews:

You can get a bottle on Ebay for around £12 - £15. It reminds me of Halfeti Leather. The company is from UAE and I think that all of their perfumes have got some some oud in them. People rave about Raghba, which is on my wish list, but that one is supposed to be quite sweet and oudy.

Oud Alif from Shay & Blue

I personally Used Paco Rabanne Cologne when Ever I go to a Party. It has the best smell comparing to all the Collection of Perfumes that I Have. So I recommend using Paco Rabanne if you have a budget of around 60 to 120$ to Spend on Perfume and Make your Own Class.
