This is a knock out
Rich Smokey Inscence oud!!
Wow, blew me away.
Performance 8hours
This is actually proper Smokey, not many oud fragrances are this Smokey!
Oud is subtle but well supported
No faecal accord!
Love this one
9/10

Anyone wants it? I need to get rid of it ($75+shipping) & full box presentation (it’s quite luxe)!
VormaLaraccug – :
A nice take on an oud fragrance by Hugo Boss. It has a smoky campfire type thing going on with the woods and pepper. Some people may not find this groundbreaking but nevertheless, it’s still a nice quality designer oud scent.
Scent: 8 / 10
Performance: 7 / 10

A very masculine woody aromatic fragrance with hint of spices. This is alpha male fragrance for 30+ age group.
I find this quite old fashioned fragrance, this reminds me of my uncle who used such kind of perfumes.
In very start I find mandarin orange and saffron, where as woody notes in the background. Oud in this quite animalic or we can say dirty oud not like a clean oud. Rose is quite subtle and not overpowered in it. In dry down woods and incense quite dominant
To me this is winter fragrance and very versatile in a sense that you can wear this in formal suiting as well as black leather jacket with jean.
Projection and performance is quite good. I would suggest do not over spray it. 2 sprays are quite enough otherwise you will chock people in your surroundings

This is rather overrated…
Yes it is dry and masculine, but simple, and definitely not as natural as some claim; I get more of an incense leather (rubbery) vibe with a smoky oud that’s a tad bit commercial..
Not very similar to Zegna (as the rose is pronounced and bergamot noticeable with light warmth of amber) and not quite comparable to Armani (which I prefer), also nowhere near Dior and Amouage’s league.
This is more like it: Opens with Encre Noire Extreme, then dries down into Versace Oud Noir’s opening
Don’t get me wrong this is nice with a reasonable price online, and I LOVE the packaging; I just expected too much from the positive reviews (one in particular)…

Un parfum de petite taille pour moi mais de bonne composition, je le trouve bien avec ses notes de Saffron, cèdre et oud surtout, son oud n’est pas comme pour les fragrances, bien au contraire, il est trop fort au début et vire vers la douceur assez vite aussi
je crois que c’est son charme aussi
pour une sélection privé de boss, je trouve qu’il on pas mal assuré sur ce coup

Smells like food. I wouldn’t mind using spices that smelled like this on a steak.
lamer91 – :
A lot of false claims on here regarding longevity and sillage. Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful scent nevertheless it is EDT and doesn’t stay on longer than 3 hours (1 spray). The oud is synthetic and you can tell, personally I wouldn’t buy expensive oud base products if it’s not 100% authentic. Overall beautiful scent but you really paying for the brand name more than anything. For £125 for 50ml.. Is a joke for an EDT

@Falk
The IO is not 100% pure Oud but it mixed with synthetic oud, Ermenegildo Zegna confirmed that to me !!!
But i didn´t try it , i search for a tester .

@moidoh
Some ppl says it’s similar to ‘Indonesian Oud’ by Ermenegildo Zegna. But IO is richer. I have not tried IO, but thats what I heard.

@Falk
you are welcome!
Can some body tell me if there is a perfume smell like the vintage 2013 Damask Oud?
DAMSHAN – :
Thanks for chairing @midoh
BudmO – :
There is a new version / batch(5055) from Feb 2015 !
The smell and the color of the juice are different, the juice is darker to red color, they don´t used the scented Oud any more!!! The longevity and
sillage are bad.
The old Damask Oud from 2013 is much better and not compared with the new batch!
butKneeft – :
Damask Oud is a dry, rich and masculine scent. The oud is of good quality, no synthetic smell. And it’s dominate (I can’t understand why some perfumes names are Intense Oud, Black Oud… and you can’t even smell oud or it’s very weak). I love the pepper and papyrus who makes this scent dry. And I love how the saffron together with a touch of rose (not the typical oud+rose combo) gives it an oriental shadow. Not complex at all but rich and easy too like.
cigarettee – :
Extremely well balanced formulation of this interpretation of oud and rose. Thick, generous and dry. Those who find oud smells like rubber should give a chance to this one and those who like the raw and medicinal smell of oud will still find it, but skillfully well surrounded.
I was surprised to find this in the Hugo Boss The Collection since I have been trying many different oud fragrances recently. The Armani Privé OUD ROYAL is amazing but on me, it becomes a chemical experience that does not end right. The Indonesian Oud from Zegna is also very beautiful but with a little powdery vibe.
DAMASK OUD may be less grandiose at first sniff then some other oud-rose fragrances, but what you get in the opening just grows delicately in the following hours and dies gently after 7 or 8 hours which is perfect for me. And this fragrance loves the sun and hot weather surprisingly!
I have a bottle from the first batch, 2013, and longevity & sillage are very strong. Apparently, subsequent formulations are lighter, weaker.
In a few words… a delicate strong scent!
arroraZexhh – :
Brilliant Raw masculanity spicy woody smokey heavy dose of oud and pepper cedar and incense with hints of saffron a really little rose which is great as i’m sick and tired of rose and oud get ready to bull out your chest hair shave it and spray oud damsak to see it grow again 😀
vallhamer10 – :
sprayed it today and initial impressions – smoky woody like sitting around a campfire in a dark damp rainforets with wet wood and leaves burning around you throw some incense on that fire. after 15min the scent becomes pure oud like something you would smell on an arab sheikh. i dont detect any rose in here but there definitely is saffron from opening to drydown
great scent nonetheless. probably the best out of the entire collection by hugo boss.
longevity = 8
sillage = 8
