As night falls, the streets take on a mysterious yet enticing allure. The rustling leaves, the sound of footsteps drawing nearer... What is that? In the air lingers a distinctive scent of Turkish rose mingled with rich, smoky oud, sweet tobacco amber, and enigmatic musk. This is the introduction of the Oud After Dark fragrance by Amouroud. Its presence is so captivating that it immediately heralds your arrival—provocative and irresistibly alluring. The fragrance soon evolves into a dense, syrupy blend of fruits, with notes of prune and apricot, all resting on a smoky, intensely rich woody base. The name itself suggests the ideal time to wear this perfume—evening or night; naturally, cooler weather is perfect for unveiling such a complex and opulent oriental blend.
The fragrance opens with a warm, slightly bitter fusion of saffron, lively pepper, and juicy apricot, ripened to sweet perfection. Delicate osmanthus and spicy cloves add intriguing accents to the mix.
At the heart of the composition lie velvety suede and dark, woody oud, enhanced by juicy purple plum, enchanting Turkish rose, and balsamic hints of olibanum.
The base envelops you in smoky tobacco notes and rich sweet amber, settling on a profound foundation of ebony wood with hints of vanilla orchid.
At the beginning, it is dense with the smell of expensive leather products. There is something else, after an hour it becomes more suede-like, which is better. There is a smokiness, reminiscent of prunes, something far away. I started to smell a hint of incense. I bought it for my husband's anniversary on another website a couple of days ago, but I am wearing it myself now. There are notes that I can't distinguish because I don't know their smell in nature. This is my first heavy perfume (I have Khaltat Night Attar Collection, which is more gourmand, and I am a fan of it, so I recommend testing it for those who enjoy such heavy scents). I see them for evenings, in a restaurant, under dark clothing, they perfectly complement the outfit. Not for everyday use, more suitable for a man... maybe because I associate them with my husband already. Definitely test it if possible, to make sure you won't regret it and be satisfied for a long time! If you are looking for a versatile perfume for all occasions, this is not your choice. There are few reviews about the perfume, so I am describing my feelings to help others make a choice. The downside is that it comes in a large volume, unless you buy it for two people.
This fragrance is always with me))) I haven't bought the full size yet, but every time I wear this scent, I feel like a Goddess)))
Definitely, my notes of musk and amber. I can even feel it in my memories right now)
