Very pleasant smell, honey comes first then wood .The whole thing is simple and sweet , no harshness at all.It was a blind buy gone well. :o)
mip1973 – :
Not oud at all. It is just a blend of a 3-4 synthetic esters (benzotes and salicylates) in vegetable oil. You get what you pay for. Not impressed at all.
romaivlad – :
This was a blind buy since I love some soft oud fragrances and saw Dehn Al Oud on Amazon so I bought it. Pretty bottle for perfume oil that lasts a long time unfortunately.
I love amber and honey scents so I assumed this will be perfect for me – wrong! It has an animalic scent at opening that caused me to race to wash my hand where I tested it. This is perfume oil so that scent stayed with me after after scrubbing with scented soaps!
The best way to describe this scent on my skin is a freshly washed wet kitten, not bad if you like animal scents but this is not how I want to smell! This was a fail for me! Try before you buy this perfume oil.

Bought this out of curiosity.
The first five seconds were awful.Bitter. I almost want to wash it off.
But then……
The scent calming and change into something that reminds me of a temple in Japan…very woodsy and calming.
A scent that I can imagine to smell it from a male.
I don’t think I want to put this scent on me due to too manly, no feminine scent even an inch.
Maybe…just maybe. I will mix this with Cherry Flower or maybe something smell rosey to add a feminine touch.
==============mix update==============
Dehn al oud x Cherry Flower
Lots of CF with a bit of DAO. I love it. The girlish CF mature faster, so no dizzy effect anymore. It’s no longer just flowery but also woodsy.
The dry down is feminine woodsy.
Al Rehab is fun for playing around.

nothing related to dehn al oud
skanky cheab smell
bul737speagoessenda – :
To me, this is EXACTLY the scent of deep rainforest. It’s incredibly restful to me. My only gripe is that it is so light and the longevity isn’t great.
starantino – :
Was really scared of this perfume because of all the negative reviews. Many people do not understand oud-type scents and find them revolting or weird. Not me. I know this is a synthetic our,not the real deal bit I like it a lot. Yes,it has a strong medicinal undercurrent in it and it is bitterly woody. Past the first few minutes,it becomes a nice incensey skin scent on me. It is Summer now and the warm woody smell suits my mood v well. It seems exotic and comforting in the same time and I know I wear something less usual. This can also be layered w other warm scents like Coco Musk which is vanillaey. Dehn Al Oud is also v animalistic and attractive ,IMO. I mixed Sultan Al Oud w vanilla scents before and it was a perfect head-turner. This will turn out similarly. Right now I am wearing it on my own and keep sniffing myself.

So NOT for Women, in my opinion. Nothing remotely feminine or unisexual about this. Disappointed because I love all the other Arabians I’ve purchased…
vanya275 – :
I love Oud Fragrances, especially the ones with Rose. This one is mixed w/ a 1920’s medicine the Doc brought over in his bag. I hate it.
SaNyEtChEk – :
My nose has evolved over the past 2 years (my fragrance journey)
I absolutely hated this first whiff,
I sat on it for 6 months to rediscover it.
It’s very dry and woody.
If you like fresh scents, you wont dig this.
If you want something slightly daring, Id say pull the trigger.
I get dry animalic wood with a small touch of honey.
Goes great with a bbq or campfire

Hi, Guys,
This is to all the perfume lovers, there is oud, some wood/cedar and myrrh at the background lingering, but I seriously doubt whether their is real oud in here, it might something of synthetic oud mixed with tinge of real oud, its like masking synthetics with something real oud, to bring forth the quality of barn like feel of real oud,the projection sits close to half a feet and after that its a skin scent, for those people who don’t mind barn like oud or medicinal oud its for them,could be done a lot better like Al Haramain oudi is comparatively far better option than dehn al oud here, however if you go forth the intial half an a hour the scent comes along with honey like sweetness in a tiny bit lastly but the juice quality for the prize is amazing but the scent itself is for hardcore oud lovers, tried to layer it with Ajmal Dehn al oud and I actually died I have to remain in shower for half a day so please do not try and layer with other heavy oud scents if you care about your nose
Regards
Shajan

Im back , i was wrong about the performance on my skin , it last around 4-6h and first 2h are good, then is close to the skin. But you have to aply a little more.
I compare this with montale dark aoud , is almost the same fragrance (for me montale have the better quality ) this smell a little bit more sweeter , maybe becouse of the honey note.
kolobok973 – :
This smell like Montale Dark Aoud, but more softer. I smell this in a store and i was like ” this smell like my montale , i will buy it ”
I dont have any complain ,except the 2h lasting on my skin vs 24h on skin and 1 mounth on cloathes lol. But 80% of fragrances last on me 2-4h and that is ok i guess. Also i will carry the roll on with me and use it when i want.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa – :
Full of oud and the fragrance is dominated by oud. If you like oud perfume then this is your choice.
bad alex – :
I must agree with No True Scotsman. A lovely, wearable oud which layers beautifully. Though not for the oud beginner (then I would recommend the soft and sweet Sultan Al Oud), this fragrance truly impresses me with it’s simple goodness.
My first impression was quite different. It seemed to me rather strong and hard to wear, but intriguing nonetheless…. Why?
The top notes are louder and what a friend of mine terms ‘nasty’ wood. So true, but I quite like nasty sometimes! A certain aspect of the opening reminds me of a pet shop – all those cedar shavings. There’s an edge here that could also conjure up gasoline fumes.
This opening phase is short lived on me. Soon a surprisingly well blended oud takes over. Far less funky smelling than the opening led me to believe! It’s mild mannered and perfectly balanced as unisex. Slightly peppery, slightly sweet.
Like others here, I smell a gentle something with the wood which could easily be beeswax or a hint of honey. NICE. In fact, comforting and grounding. Woody fragrance lovers take note. 🙂
To sum up:
Dehn Al Oud could easily be done better by many a middle eastern perfumery, but I doubt it’s been done better at this price! For what it is, a very enjoyable, dare I say classic, attar.
Three Stars – Four if it had greater longevity. But for three dollars, I’m certainly not complaining!
oOwicsOo – :
I think it’s something like church incense.
Somebody mentioned beeswax, it definitely does have that scent in the mix, I think some patchouli too.
I’m using the oil.
jackass33 – :
This is a very honest wood, the kind you might find laying around the fireplace. It isn’t really sweet I don’t get honey i get more of a very natural wood that might have some dirt on it. (Patchouli note perhaps?) And a bit of spice. I think with these Al rehabs all the notes aren’t listed. Id definitely say patchouli and spice cardamon or clove.
stram – :
This what a smelled when i was going to the doctor at my chiled hood ..no way this is a perfum..this is on my skin..mybe for someone else its good…but to me
Go for sultan al oud its is way way superior..
Thank you
Xeroxexynp – :
Layered it tonight with Al Rehab Dalal, which is sweeter with caramel and vanilla…stunning.
pyotrcruglikov10 – :
Starts off a bit screechy but quickly levels down to an awesome blend of cedar and myrrh.
Great on its own but shines when you layer. I like to combine this with al rehab’s Avenue (Aventus dupe) which adds a slight touch of fruit and smoke. That combination has gotten me more compliments than any other fragrance I own!
anat-krav – :
3ml oil.
More of a woody variant of an Oud scent.
For me – Sharp, synthetic, simple, soapy. Strong and long.
Not particularly complex or pleasant for me, but recommended to buy if you are exploring Oud.
One finds out what one likes by trying, and at this price, it is a no-brainer!
Our body chemistry and lifestyle are half of our impression of a perfume, methinks.
Read my review of Mokhalat for some more comments on the Al Rehab perfume range and Oud. There is also a warning about fakes in that review. Yes, 2.50 euro fakes of 3 euro perfumes!
As with all Al Rehab oil fragrances – apply to pulses, start with wrists, and be aware it might actually get stronger after an hour or two. Tread lightly!
SergeyManenok – :
Less sweet than Sultan Al Oud but lasts longer on my skin. It reminds me a lot smell of the incense used in my village church in Poland. It is very comforting, well balanced & mature. A lot of fresh wood shavings in it, that wood aroma which can stimulate your nostrils without being unpleasant. It also reminds me Montale Dark Oud, but this one is more soft.
maksimus06 – :
Ive tried a lot of al rehabs & been very impressed with nearly all of them….. except this one. I get hardly any oud from it, more a dry wood note with a little honey in the background. for the price you cant really complain but with a name like Dehn Al Oud, id expect to be getting something closer to a traditional oud scent.
This is maybe the weakest Al Rehab ive tried too, but again for the price, you cant complain or expect too much.
tyranul – :
Peppery wood shavings. A dry woody, linear scent. Definitely a great base for other perfumes. I am not getting any sweetness or honey like notes. Maybe sweet wood? Oooh wait, I had an idea. El Attarine with a large dose of pepper on top. Who would have thunk? Just tried El Attarine and this one side by side. Things are getting interesting!
Lomslusylon – :
Update: I now have 8 Al-Rehabs. This is, to me, the most powerful of them all. Of course, it would be my first choice! Maybe that is good because since all the others have been strong perfumes but not quite at this level of Dehn Al Oud. I really love it .. but like Elizabeth Taylor’s Passion, it is a RAWR Beast. Use and apply sparingly.
My first Oud and it’s an Attar! Frankly, I don’t even care how it smells on me! Attar is a new addition to mostly sprays French in my menu selection. ugh. and a few splashes, really dislike splashes. Have Rose Al-Rehab coming for summer and Sultan Al Oud/Lord/Blanc waiting in the wings for next buys. I adore the scents of the Middle and Far East. My perfume palette would be incomplete without them. Boggles my mind but I understand we in the West now distrust oils. We prefer something science-lab sounding. wha? Nutrium! No, I prefer body Oil in my body wash .. and its getting harder to find. Even legendary Oil of Olay as I was growing up and knew it is now called Olay. The ‘Oil’ was hurting sales thanks to marketing millions and billions that tell us what to think and believe. I am thankful to know that oils are not only heavenly but good for body, mind and spirit. Long Live and Prosper my new discovery of the Al-Rehab, Crown House.
Rocklive – :
This is for the 6ml oil
Starts off oud al cedar chest with heavy myrrh dry down. Not bad but not very unisex in my opinion. Dehn Al Oud is extremely manly. Not feminine at all or at least not by it’s self anyway. Maybe layered it would give a strong dry wood note.

@ Sam ldh
I totally agree with your review .I enjoyed reading it,as I did your other reviews also! I always read negative comments carefully being aware of the potential of biased attitude of the reviewer which distorts the actual true nature of the perfume in question! And mostly negative reviews are a result of haste and lesser experience of a person.
All the best buddy!
Keep up the great work!
викитор – :
Yep, I also got a strong medicinal, almost pure dirt smell when I first applied it. Within 2 mins, it softened down to a gorgeous woody with notes of beeswax scent that was lovely. I would love to layer this one with something exotic like sandalwood or gourmand.
azzazello1482 – :
I am an avid Arabic oud collector and this one works well on my skin and is remarkably similar to Dior Leather Oud, with its beeswax, animalic and oudy notes. I agree that this smells horrible when first applied as the animalic note is very prominent on application and for about 25 minutes.
Please let this settle on your skin before scrubbing, as it will settle to a sweet, dirty fragrance, albeit one which is perhaps an acquired taste.
For lovers of civet and oud, this is an absolute masterpiece.
As others here have said, this is not a sillage monster, but longevity seems above average, as is the case with most Al-Rehab perfume oils.
mzi847Diobtetty – :
This review is based on the attar version of this perfume. I really wanted to like this one but it was pretty bad. My wife made me scrub it off immediately (first time she’s made that comment about a perfume). it is very MEDICINAL. The comment about mothballs is pretty accurate. After scrubbing at it twice with alcohol pads and washing my wrist I still had a light skin scent.
romanrmlv – :
I bought this from amazon out of curiosity, as I was determined to find an oud that works on me. This little bottle is so pretty and the unique packaging (oblong triangular box shape) gives the impression of something really special. Alas, this is wretched; not just on my skin but as soon as I took off the cap I got a distinct medicinal scent that reminded me of something that I’ve wracked my brain trying to figure out. Cedar closet? Tincture of Merthiolate? Cough syrup? What?!?! I applied some to my skin and within an hour had to wash it off because it is just pungent and unpleasant. No miraculous transformation on my skin as I had hoped. I do not smell honey, neither do I detect anything floral, sweet or fresh.
Then the other day it hit me like a bolt from the blue: it smells just like mothballs soaked in Robitussin cough syrup. I’m keeping it because I like the bottle but the scent is hideous.
decline – :
smells good but scent always stay close to the skin… but i guess most oil perfume just don’t project the way i wish they would…

This perfume is an act of terrorism. It causes me to have PTSD flashbacks to when I served in Cuba.
ruffler – :
well I have liked the ouds I have tried so far, and I have also been very pleased with the al-rehab range that I have tried.
This however, no. It did not work for me.
In the bottle it smelled OK, very oudy but once I put it on my skin this transformed into something terrible – something like a 3:1:1 ratio of creosote:cigarette ash:faecal matter. Not good. I didn’t detect any real oud smell, no sweetness at all, definitely no honey or floral notes. This was a disaster for me, a shame as I have enjoyed the others I have tried so far (saat safa, aroosah, al-shariquah, dalal).
This may work better for others, but a definite no no for me!
Gydayfoda – :
I can’t say I get a strong honey in this. More of a beeswax? There is some sweetness, but overall it smells very raw. Like the whole comb.
Dehn Al Oud is woody/peppery. Sometimes I use it for layering, but mostly I like to wear it on it’s own. It’s quite strong and 3 swipes of the rollerball will give you pretty huge sillage.
I recommend buying this first if you have never tried an oud fragrance. Easily obtained between $5-$10 and pretty straightforward.
Metyp983Negeltzex – :
A very wearable, soft oud. Layers wonderfully with other attars.
