Resinous, balsamic and a bit of rose with jam to me. The perfect oud for a beginner. Plus, the bottle is gorgeous. Fantastic to wear in the cold weather. For the price point the Berdoues collection is a win.

Received as a free sample from Twisted Lily. Nothing special…longevity and sillage weak on my skin. There are much better Oud/Myrrh fragrances out there.
Gardenas – :
Breezy airy myrrh.
The first sniff wasn’t pleasing as much as it calmed down! the powdery slightly sour myrrh is overprotecting the aura it forms. I can sniff an European style oud in here with a tiny bit of henna which forms a sensual sahara. The sour orange is there as well and hides behind the spiritual mix.
This brand creates an overly impressive blends in an extremely amazing prices! I don’t know wither their techniques or their raw materials are that perfect! All my past reviews of this brands was sprays on plotters that lasted more than 24 hours! they are just sensually addictive! this is the 3rd so far that impresses me that much!

Oh so sad. Another beautiful heartbreaker from Berdoues … *wails* why does the house keep stamping on my love for it like this? Stunning open, with the woods-orange-myrrh triad that’s always a winner for me, warm and rich and sheltering, yet still exciting- zingy beautiful orange peel made deeper and warmer still by a friendly, sweetish entry-level oud (no ‘genuine, authentic’ barnyard or antiseptic whiffs of the realer oud spectrum in here). Not quite as rich as the regal Antonio Visconti Bois de Gayac, and far less multi-faceted, but in that sort of territory. Or it would be, if it lasted – yet again this is a tragic, terrible story of catastrophic collapse on me, shrinking to perceptible (still gorgeous) skin scent in under an hour and gone with the wind 3h later. But just so wonderful for those first moments. If this had proper legs I might wear nothing else ever. But as it is, it just makes me resentful and pouty because I desperately want it to stay and it just keeps evaporating to nothing. More proof that Berdoues has great noses and great creativity, but apparently not the technical accomplishment to back up even their loveliest ideas.

I still don’t know what real oud smells like or whether I like it—but I like this. I think it’s the myrrh; I smell something similarly appealing in Jo Malone’s Myrrh and Tonka.
It may not be mysterious or deep, but this is interesting and refreshing. I keep thinking of a pop culture pirate like Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, or a cartoon character like Cap’n Crunch—it actually reminds me of the scent and texture of the cereal itself, a little bit artificial but nevertheless airy and uplifting. That feeling when you’re a kid opening a brand new box with a prize inside.
I ended up buying a full bottle of this and then a sample set of the Grand Cru line, which is perfect for a relative beginner like me. I like many of the other scents on their own, and it’s satisfying to be able to identify the three listed notes of each one. Oud Al Sahraa is easy to wear with decent longevity and just-right sillage to wear to work. So glad I was introduced to this line!

A toned down smoky fragrance without the depth of many of the current ouds out there today. Resinous, herbal and balsamic but delicate, one of the few Arabian style fragrances that you can safely wear to the office without fear of overwhelming anyone.
The first time I tried it, the weather was warmer and I was unimpressed with the result. It’s slightly cooler today, and it’s bright and vivacious, and the dry down is very beautiful.
Sillage about 6/10 and longevity around 5 hours.

Open bright and citrus-y, then melds into a quiet oud, but without much smoke. Very light, easy to wear everyday fragrance. Lasted about 2 hours on me, but rather faint skin scent.
druxa2 – :
I seriously doubt there is any oud anywhere in this. It mostly read to me like a labdanum-forward amber, which I’ve smelled roughly a zillion times but still like, just because I’m kind of a sucker for that style.
hadji – :
Ideally, I’d have a bit of the sweet in this subtracted and a bit more of the smoky added. That said, the overall effect is more than sufficiently pleasing. The myrrh is, to my nose, more pronounced than I would have expected, but this is not an unwelcome surprise. The colour palette is rich yet soft & hazy. Twilight.
The weather is hovering around 17°C both day & night where I am presently and I feel this is just about the right temperature to enjoy the bloom of this ‘Cologne Grand Cru’ (which states clearly on the bottom of the bottle that it is an Eau de Parfum); any warmer and the sweet would get the best of the oud, turning it a bit “rotten” I fear. Conversely, I can’t much see wearing this in the dead of winter as its qualities would be numbed for, although quite persistent (I’m getting 8+ hours now) it is not by any means vigourous or arresting.
I find this fragrance to be quite intimate whilst not spilling over into overt sensuality. Romantic & warming, I would wear it for myself at home on a rainy Autumnal afternoon of reading as much as for a casual Springtime date night out with the Mister who, (somewhat surprisingly as he tends towards fresh, “90’s”, “clean” scents) chose it for me. I was delighted and continue to be so with this delicious, if safely “tasteful”, oriental.
Lovely packaging. Lovely bottle.
Genderless. Solid VFM. ★★★☆☆

عاشق عطر خاص و منحصربفرد گیشنیز هستم. از لحظه ای که سر از خاک بیرون میاره و عطر سبز، شفاف، درخشان و موقر خودش رو به نمایش میذاره تا لحظه ای که ساقه هاش شکل می گیرن و عطر چوبی و سبز ساقه هاش با بوی پودری گلهای سفید اون ترکیب میشه و در نهایت در اوایل تابستان؛ که موعد برداشت محصولش فرا میرسه که همون دونه های ریز و خوش عطر و خوش طعم هست؛ گیشنیز یه سفر بویایی بی نظیر رو طی میکنه که از هر مرحله ی اون میشه یه اکسیر اعجاب آور بدست آورد.
اونچه که در عطرسازی بعنوان گیشنیز یا همون کوریاندر مورد استفاده قرار می گیره؛ دونه های برداشت شده از این گیاه مفید و عالی هست که بیشتر در فاز اسپایسی عطر مخفی میشه و حالتی خاکی به فضا میده. اما دونه های گیشنیز و چوبهای خشک اون که در تابستون برداشت میشن و طی فرایندی سخت؛ دونه ها که ارزش بیشتری دارن و از چوب جدا میشن؛ بویی فراتر از یه تم خاکی دارن. گیشنیز خشک شده روحی از عطر تازه و شاداب گیشنیز سبز بهاری رو در خودش داره که خشک و وحشی شده و حالتی خاکی، دودی و چوبی داره که فوق العادست.
گفتن از اون سخته و باید در فصل برداشت گیشنیز به مزارع برید تا این عطر شگفت انگیز شما رو مسحور خودش کنه. اما این عطر بِردوس؛ عود صحرا؛ یه نمایش با کیفیت از دونه های گیشنیز و چوب اون ارائه کرد که بیاد نمیارم نمونه ی اونو در عطر دیگه ای احساس کرده باشم!
عود صحرا ترکیب خلوت، اما عمیق و زیبایی داره که با دارچین خیس خورده و طبیعی شروع میکنه و پس زمینه ی سیتروسی ملس و اغواگری به خودش می گیره که به هیچ عنوان سبک و خنک نیست. این فضای دارچینی سیتروسی به زیبایی در انباری پر از گیشنیز خشک، اسپایسی و خاکی می پیچه که بی اندازه طبیعی و ملموسه و با این فضای اسپایسی-سیتروسی زیبا؛ زمینه برای ورود مر و عود دارویی و کمی شیرین فراهم میشه تا بعد از چند ساعت نمایش؛ در پایه ای خشک، چوبی و کمی دودی، پرونده ی عود صحرا بسته بشه.
عود صحرا یه عطر گرم و نرم و مطبوعه؛ شیرین و گس و خواستنی که در هوای خنک و رو به سردی؛ حسابی دلبری خواهد کرد. همه چیز طبیعی و دلنشینه کنار هم قرار گرفتن و با خوش سلیقگی و ظرافت با همدیگه مچ شدن. کار خوبیه اما ای کاش موندگاری و پخش بهتری داشت. من بخاطر ساعت اول نمایشش رو پوستم؛ خصوصا عطر گیشنیزش میگم نباید بخاطر موندگاری کمتر از 6 ساعت و پخش نه چندان خوبش؛ مورد شماتت قرار بگیره؛ اما انتخاب با شماست…

As the currently trendy oud fragrances go, this one is solid, non-presumptive, and has nothing to be ashamed of: I would grade it a solid B. Yet it is not memorable to me. It is nice that it is not dingy; and certainly it smells more complex and sophisticated than the fragrance pyramid might have you think. But its sillage is very soft, it doesn’t last very long, and it’s a light oud that brings to mind inoffensive middle eastern spice markets. Combined with that is an element of masculine cologne that is a trifle too mainstream for me. This scent is not mysterious, enveloping, raptorous, or outstanding. It seems like a good beginner oud, an oud you could safely bring home to your mother, an oud you could date without being someone who lives dangerously, to overextend the metaphor. Not bad, not great. Not fruity, yet sweet in that way that masculine colognes in this day and age in the west often are. It wouldn’t be out of place as an ‘exotic’ scent that still appealed to department stores.

We all know there are gazillions of oud perfumes out there. Good ones, less good ones. Strong concoctions and bewitching brews or repulsive damel droppings caught in a bottle. Medicinal juices that seem to come from a luxury hospital. Or wonderfully smoky ones that bring the sniffer to an exotic world right away.
This scent, to me at last, clearly belongs in the latter category. But you may graciously forget all the Montales, the Armanis you might have ever smelled. OAS is such a delicate but present scent I hardly find words to describe it properly. There is this smokiness lingering among something fruity (but only medium sweetness !) and some more resinous theme…..myrrh is mentioned by the manufacturer and it could be that this is what I smell here. It is a “grand cru cologne”, whatever that means. It is lighter than an EdT, for sure, but that is exactly the new thing about oud. You can also play it safe – and hence light. No more weighing every spray because you feared your scent would comatize your family, your co-workers or whomelse. This oud scent feels like a luxurious ultra-lightweight silk scarf, delicate but with exquisite coloring and very well noticeable.
I fell in love at first sniff. This is something really new to me in terms of oud perfumes.
