Community Sentiment Pulse — Another Oud
Mixed16 opinions · Source: r/fragrance community
6.5
/10
Another Oud is a legitimate, powerfully-projected oud fragrance that performs exceptionally well in terms of longevity and sillage, particularly resonating with Middle Eastern preferences. However, its harsh opening, dated woody-resinous base notes, and strong projection make it challenging for Western wearers and beginners, with some questioning whether its premium price justifies the overall composition.
Positive
- Extremely strong longevity and sillage
- Authentic oud fragrance with good oud concentration
- Popular and well-regarded in Middle Eastern markets
- Linear scent profile suitable for layering
Negative
- Harsh and unpleasant opening that takes hours to settle
- Can be too strong for Western wearers unfamiliar with oud
- Woody/resinous base adds an old-fashioned masculine stink
- High price point relative to the overall scent quality
