Description
ATKINSONS in collaboration with PerfumeHolding is launching two new fragrances of the collection The Oud. The collection is dedicated to oud and reflects the idyllic chapter of time when two large and powerful civilizations, England and the Orient, were intertwined perfectly. Fragrances of the collection are inspired by romantic desert intrigues of sheiks, kings and emissaries, as well as by rare and precious types of oud, reminding us this time of Gertrude Bell, Victorian queen of desert and Faisal I, the legendary Arabic king.
“Everyone called her Khatun, from camel riders to emirs. But in London the bold heroine of our latest perfume was known as Gertrude Bell. English adventuress, archeologist, and diplomat of the Levant, Miss Bell was Our Woman in Baghdad during the Empire’s prime.
In this rich spicy-sweet evocation of oud we travel with Miss Bell as she did, on horseback through the burning deserts of Mesopotamia alongside tribal horsemen in embroidered cashmeri robes. Like her, this deliciously womanly and nomadic fragrance laces together Orient and Occident, mingling precious Turkish Rose-infused oud with the afternoon high tea delights of sweet red berry and apricot-scented osmanthus flowers. An intrepid leather accord of saddle and bridle softly rounded by the powdery florality of iris and a desert whisper of vanilla expresses the Victorian elegance of this adventurous horsewoman.
Miss Bell in her beautifully billowing muslin gowns was that rare thing: an English rose amongst Bedouin splendour.”
Fragrances Her Majesty The Oud and His Majesty The Oud are available in luxurious flacons in gold, as a 100ml Eau de Parfum
Atkinsons Her Majesty The Oud was launched in 2016.

Unfortunately I’m disappointed about this fragrance, is so weak!! €110 with something doesn’t last at least 30 minutes. And first impression is that smells like hospital place, I don’t Know how explain, but came in my mind hospital, medicine products, bad blind for me!!! Sorry !!

All of this majesty talk has me thinking about Coming to America. There’s a quote in the movie that parallels my sentiment of this fragrance in comparison to OUD SAVE THE QUEEN..”Why are you hugging him, he’s just the servant.” {Pointing at Semmi} He’s the Prince!! OUD SAVE THE QUEEN is the Prince Hakeem or should i say the “white glove wave hand” of this duo for sure but that’s not to say that HER MAJESTY THE OUD isn’t workable. I’m having a hard time with this one. Although I acknowledge this to be sorta nice, it’s as odd as Egg Mcmuffins at night. This is like some sort of chalky berry composite. There’s a synthetic glow filling out the borders of this fragrance that has me on the fence. I’ve been oud-ing it up lately and in comparison to the real stuff i’ve encountered, this oud is blah. Sometimes it’s good to have some dull oud in the perfume. I’m not knocking it. At least it doesn’t overpower the fancier aspects of this creation. With double dosage of leather coming from the actual leather and saffron, one would surmise this would be a cow of a note. The leather is sociable and good-natured sorta like the people this is catered for. What makes this perfume airy and dainty are the powdery notes emanating from the iris and turkish rose. Atkinsons can be trusted.

a slightly more feminine take on an oud fragrance. it’s lighter compared to a male oud fragrance, however in saying that, this could definitely be passed off as unisex. I am wearing a sample right now. it is very nice.
