This fragrance is ridiculous! Anyone who has smelled at least one oud based fragrance in a lifetime, no mater designer or niche, will laugh to death. This smells 100 % cinnamon, like halloween pumpkin cake. Even Paco Rabanne’s One Million is not so gourmand. Yeah, it’s very cheap but who cares, when you buy oud fragrance you want something that smells like oud, even synthetic recreated. There’s so many cheap fragrances, which describe that note much better – Jacques Bogart One Man Show Oud Edition, Ferrari Essence Oud and so…Again, do not blind buy this, you’ll be very disappointed.

This smells like a pumpkin spice candle..it doesn’t smell bad, reminds me of Autumn and baking. I saw this at Marshall’s for $6.99

Starts off with an odd B.O. vibe, but oud can be tricky, it often reminds me of burnt tires or petroleum at first. Once this on the skin, it quickly becomes what most would recognize as oud. A little watered down and a little too soft, but over all its a nice resiny and dark woody scent. I have an extensive collection of expensive oud fragrances and I didn’t feel the overwhelming urge to get this (even though it was a steal for $7.99 at Marshall’s) but for someone just starting to wear oud fragrances, its more than decent. I could also see one using this to layer with other scents. Overall a thumbs up.

An Oud in Eau de Cologne…
I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. I was expecting something harsh and medicinal but this is almost like an ambery, sweet type of oud… which is lovely. I do like it very much.
So far I’ve been very impressed by Demeter and I find the quality very good. Good value for money considering that they are in Eau de Cologne concentration. I can spray considerably with this one and not worry about it being overpowering to others, which you can’t say about every oud fragrance!
I can see this blending well with other Demeter fragrances, and can see this working well if you choose to layer it with other fragrances. For what you get, this is good value.

Soft, sweet spice, tame and safe. I personally get vanilla rather than cinnamon and maybe a little bit of sandalwood but with very little wood. It’s surprising how little wood – never mind oud – there is in what’s supposed to be a woody scent.
With the above caveats, it’s… nice. For me it evokes the idea of, NOT the actual scent of creme brulee or zabaglione, or Sauternes or Muscat desert wine.
I suspect it would layer OK. Spraying it over my currently worn Tea Rose (extreme rose soliflore from Perfumer’s Workshop) made it, strangely, less puddingy and a little more masculine to my nose.
Pleasant and cheap and thus 6/10, but not quite what it says on the tin.

As something of an amateur fragrance cocktail mixologist, I often find that I want simple, earthy base notes to anchor and round out other fragrances I might find too sweet, fruity, or floral on their own. Demeter Oud fills this role for me and provides a somewhat more complex alternative to my standby sandalwood, mahogany and leather base fillers. I’m pleased with the light, some might say imperceptible, impression of oud in this frag, as I have always found other scents with strong Oud notes to go rather dirty and fecal with my chemistry (looking at you, Terre d’Hermes). As a stand alone fragrance, I would say this pulls masculine, though soft rather than aggressive. Projection is good, longevity middling but better than many Demeter pmu colognes. If one were looking for the concentration of oud typically found in expensive designer and niche scents, this fragrance would disappoint; but if you enjoy a subtle, earthy skin scent that’s a bit darker and richer than sandalwood, Demeter Oud is very pleasant.

Good luck finding any oud in this! I couldn’t smell any of it here. If you’re prepared to overlook this glaring omission, this is quite a nice, uncomplicated sandalwood cologne for the price. The longevity isn’t very good, but that isn’t too surprising.

This is a spicy fragrance, balmy. I would definitely wear this in winter. It is certainly a unisex scent. It is slightly sweet. It does not have a strong wood note. This one lasts and has projection. And even though it is spicy, it is soft at the same time. Great purchase for the price!
PANrus – :
disappointing and weak….demeter…put some damn wood in this shit…its like oud lite lite……an insult..considering u can buy genuine oil oud easily n cheap online….take lessons from your arabian bros n sisters..this shits weaky weak…embarresed to admit that i bought this dung for 25bucks…rip off
marasin – :
i don’t even think they are using the synthetic oud accords the large chemical houses have available. This smells like someone trying to recreate a synthetic oud accord using a little spice, a little synthetic wood. Ultimately this smells like a harmless spicy sweet slightly woody combination, nothing like synthetic oud nor real oud for that matter. Don’t take this as I don’t like it because I do but its laughably not oud.

I got this mostly because I’m trying to help keep the store in business which is the only Demeter dealer in the state. And I’m the only one I ever see in there! And they recognize me instantly when I show up!
It’s good for layering. it’s a light, spicy, simplified oud that is easy to layer with other light scents to give some depth (not a lot).
I get the cinnamon scent, but it’s more than that. I layered this and it’s the one standing strong 4 hours later. I was actually surprised at the longevity.
This is not the ideal oud, but it’s yummy and approachable and a good place to start if you’re new to oud.

Good for the cheap price. If they start to charge more then $20, not worth it.
I’d rather stick to my $400 bottle of Cartier Oud
langford214 – :
This is a light, spicy oud, a bit creamy, more like you would expect from a sandalwood. The spiciness is distinctively an oud property but this treatment of it lacks the rotten, oily quality that is present with most oud. Good for people who would like a cleaner oud note. Probably not the best for people looking for that rich oily quality that oud usually has. A very light, clean treatment.

This fragrance smells like absolutely nothing. Perhaps a hint of spice such as cinnamon. I bought it with the expectation of smelling somewhat like oud. The company , demeter , is known for it’s unique and wacky library , which do smell like something but this is their most mediocre fragrance ever released . This fragrance is a complete dud . Do yourself a favor and save your money .

this is baby oud. if you like oud, but traditional designer ouds tease but are just too much, this is for you. soft and friendly.

Oh, now don’t be so hard on Demeter you guys….it is super cheap! You shouldn’t expect high end niche or exotic oil performance from a $20 bottle of cologne. For this price, you can’t expect to get a high dose of precious agarwood oil. What you get is the “essence” of smelling oud. I think it smells nice and it does have an oud-like smell to it. It doesn’t last too long but it is a very inexpensive cologne so I expected as much.
Demeter Oud is NOT that bad at all, especially for the price. I have tried expensive stuff that was much worse and smelled even LESS like oud because it is buried under a million other notes. I was just curious to see what Demeter’s interpretation of oud would be like and I got a sample for little of nothing. I didn’t expect anything like what you would get from a $300 bottle of an oud EDP – since it is a $20 bottle of cologne – so, I pretty much got what I expected and I enjoyed trying it.

Smells nice but with a little amount of oud, just a bit of anisse/cinnamon.
The oud is a much stronger and complex.
I thought this perfume would be the closest thing, since it is the main ingredient that supposedly has, is that artificial, but at least similar, no?
Has a remaining oil in the skin, unfortunately the smell is very mild and does not project.
Fragance: 6/10
Sillage: 5/10
Longevity: 5/10
The good news is : You can open the bottle and add a little bit of strong oud oil, as I did it, so now the thing is different. I fixed my cologne for better.
