Oud Balsam

Feel Oud · 2023

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Feel Oud Oud Balsam is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance built around cumin, tobacco, Thai oud and resins. Spicy cumin and tobacco lean on the woody, resinous body of the oud. The accords add a sweet, gourmand and creamy softness, while the smoky, oriental side weighs heavier on top of it. The notes read as a single piece rather than in layers. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn and winter, and evenings and nights out lead the occasions, with spring and summer well behind. Voters mostly find it masculine and classic. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Serge Lutens Écrin de fumée have a close profile.

Oud de Grand

7.6

Feel Oud · 2023

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Feel Oud Oud de Grand pairs Thai oud with Jasminum grandiflorum and pink pepper, giving a sweet, spicy and woody unisex scent. It is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Some read it as masculine, others as feminine, so it sits comfortably between the two. Thai oud lays a smoky, resinous and slightly leathery base. Jasminum grandiflorum adds a floral, creamy softness on top of it, while pink pepper brings a spicy spark. The overall impression is sweet and oriental, with a faint animal note in the background.

Sunrise and Set

7.7

Feel Oud · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Feel Oud Sunrise and Set is a unisex scent that ties the brightness of cardamom, lemon and bitter orange to the woody side of Indian oud and cedar. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and it also wears in fall; winter is rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with night out and business also in the mix. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Masculine is the most common character vote, though feminine is not far behind. Citrus, fresh and green accords open the scent: lemon and bitter orange meet the spice of cardamom. Magnolia and iris add a soft, powdery floral touch. Indian oud, cedar, patchouli and vetiver build a woody base, with an oriental tone in the background. Cartier Déclaration Bois Bleu and Fragonard Vetyver have a close profile.
