Arabian Oud perfume - Madawi 90 ml

Product Information

Whether worn for special occasions or as a personal indulgence, Madawi Arabian Oud is a fragrance that will leave an impression that lingers long after you've left the room. I was many times dissapointed with the performance of some beautiful western fragrances, too much reformulations, resulting in lack of performance. the packaging and all the accessories that come with the fragrance are kind of exaggerated to me, but on the other hand, it configures a good option as a present to someone I really care about, and love to give her something valuable and kind of luxury perfume! It has very similar notes and is a beautiful scent that I really love and i’m curious of how madawi might compare to it.

Reminds me of Tobacco and Vanille by Tom ford without the vanilla… The floral smell comes later to me and then makes up most of the scent.

In fact, the woody oud and not-so-bitter cardamom in Madawi Gold is exceptionally strong yet wearable. One of the most regal, elegant, opulent fragrances to grace my nostrils since I can remember (and I clearly remember smelling my grandma's "My Sin" as a wee one! Upon opening it, I was super nervous because when I smelled it straight from the bottle, it had that sharpness that I cannot stand. The mysterious and enchanting oud takes center stage, accompanied by woody cedar and earthy patchouli. The scent itself is so heavy for my taste, I really appreciate it, there are no doubts about the quality of this composition, it is elegant and well-done, but sometimes it could be something overwhelming to go for since I'm not really into peaches!The notes don't seem complete, it starts off with a blast of fresh floral, there might be a bit of fruit but I can't detect them but it's not sweet, maybe just a tad. BUT it’s a very feminine, French style, heady floral that’s headache inducing thanks to the cloying peach/blossom combo.
