I smell the Rose of Cafe Rose.
I smell the Dusty Book accord of Tobacco Oud.
I smell the Patchouli & Black Truffle of Black Orchid.
I smell the Sandal Wood & Vanilla of Oud Wood.
Oud Fleur is a beautifully bizarre fragrance. Its very pungent & enchanting.
Imagine a tryst in a damp garden with a coven of beautiful Witches
EDIT: Day 10 of wearing Oud Fleur. In the Mid, heading into the dry down i get subtle wafts of Noir De Noir..
This fragrance is insane. You have to really enjoy the Art of Tom Ford perfumery to enjoy this fragrance, & i love it..
FernandoXZzz – :
It’s been a while since I have worn this so I decided to get a bottle a revisit it. It’s really not a good blind buy. I love it, but it’s so carnal and almost choking for a while. You really gotta dig that. I do and many do. It’s a beautiful composition honestly with all the notes. Only a half maybe even 1/4 spray is necessary. Just a suggestion, but if this gets on your clothes it becomes more difficult to smell it’s evolution. It’s so strong the top will stick around on your clothes until you wash them. That could be good or bad depending on how much you love the carnal rose opening.

Norlektis – :
Forget the fleur, there’s a very strange rose accord in the opening. The fleur in here is not the point at all, five minutes later it fades and gives place to an amazing blend of woods, patch and spices. Very complex, very austere, very Tom Ford.

Middle age male review.
Not a TF fan FTR; but am trying his private blend line, one at a time, to see if there’s anything I can like since it’s a fairly unique line.
Tom gave me some flowers this time. Showed up via a cute delivery boy, whom I tipped well, and who left me with a dozen roses; pronounced scent throughout the room via the test strip sprayed.
But I’ve been down this road before with Tom.
He wants me, but whooing me with roses…especially very photo-realistic yet strangely intensely synthetic-smelling rose…is not the way to do it.
Already tried with Cafe Rose, which was entirely absent the alleged “Cafe.” I couldn’t find even a hint of coffee, or any other cafe-related scent anywhere in that one. I think the cafe closed. Cuz it was all ROSE.
HOWEVER: In THIS case, I wasn’t entirely put-off by Tom’s advances.
The oud side is *not bad.*
Hence me having fairly good things to say about Tobacco Oud, and then trying this one to see how he meshes his oud with flowers.
I was hoping for flowers beyond his rose; any flowers. I’m a guy who *will* rock the right flowers.
But rose is what I was given most distinctly. And it is just not a very pleasing rose to my nose.
Rose to my nose.
There will be no second date.
Hell, there wasn’t even a first one.
I appreciate his attempt, I appreciate his effort. I don’t hate him for it, nor do I hate the fragrance.
But I don’t really like it either, and I’m not going to go all the way with him unless I’m in love.
He needed more oud. A dominate-me, throw-me-over-his-shoulder, in-my-face oud.
I can take it Tom. Give it to me. Take my breath away.
(After I sniff).
But he went a bit too beta male for me.
Forever friend-zoned, I will not be wearing this frag.
Roorneesy – :
I am a huge fan of several of Tom Ford’s Private Collection perfumes, in fact his Plum Japonaise is one of my all-time favorites, and Tobacco Vanille is an epic game changer. I like Ouds, so I had high hopes for this one. This should be named: Basic Oud. That is it. I do not smell the floral, anywhere. It is like someone said, “Let’s make the basic Oud”. Done. I have an oud fragrance made by Les Senteurs Gourmandes, bought at the BHV store in Le Marais in Paris. The two scents are identical, and the Les Senteurs Gourmandes perfume was a fraction of the price. Maybe this is the re-formulated version, because honestly there is no “fleur” in this scent in the least. I like the fact that it is so very basic. It’s like an all-clove scent, just what it is. But for the price, I would have expected a more complex and interesting oud. Not much projection, okay staying power, and it has no drydown, no changes, just one thing, oud.
a19s69 – :
@phenomenal… pretty sure TF has done this with all the private blends across the board, aside from the recent releases. NDN, TL, TV, Oud Wood to name a few have all been weakened I’ve noticed. It’s especially noticeable in the recent batches of Tuscan Leathers I’ve tried. Sad and I absolutely agree, it’s ridiculous they can charge the same price when the quality and potency are constantly being diminished.
Den4ik9988 – :
@Phenomenal – totally agree with you. If they’re reformulating it then they should rename it.
One thing that confuses me though, don’t vintage/older batches of perfumes go off?
bykina.jana – :
I have a flacon of batch A83, I compared it to the current batch at Nordstrom. This fragrance has without a doubt been reformulated. The new version seems like a diluted version of the old stuff; to the point that I cannot recognize it or really even smell it. The older batch is potent. It should be illegal to reformulate an item and sell it as the same… this is the same experience I have had with Dior’s Oud Ispahan.
RxonTTqa – :
Heavy on the rose, less on the oud side. Maybe it should be called Fleur Oud instead. Blending rose and oud is one of the most difficult things to do in perfumery because too much oud overpowers anything that it comes into contact with. Oud Fleur is a good blend of some of my favourite notes, I can see how it would react differently to different people’s skins. Overall, a great unisex fragrance, but if you don’t like rose then stay away.
loki83 – :
Just purchased a 50ml bottle & I absolutely love this fragrance & cant get enough of it. I never imagined myself wearing a rose fragrance but this is incredible. Its only the second scent Ive ever smelled or owned that I just cant get enough of, Bleu de Chanel being the other. I get a beautiful rose opening that quickly turns to a tobacco type of note for a while (I know theres no tobacco in it) before I start to get oud & sandlewood. The rose is still there but more in the background. I get great longevity & projection is good without being too out there. My other fragrances will struggle to get my attention for s while I think as I want this on me at all times. Not sure I can afford it as a signature scent but as It is definitely falls in the expensive fragrance category.
Meattyopity – :
I fall in love with this perfume. It’s magical blend of oud and rose. TF never disappointing us. This perfume is the best of all perfumes that contain oud and rose. It’s better than dior oud ispahan.
delanamapel – :
I’m no rose expert nor do I find it to be my favorite note amongst men’s scents but this Oud Fleur fragrance has a nice kind of rose.
The oud is soft while the rose is not the usual dry red rose kind.
Have you ever walked around a rose garden and noticed the difference between various rose bushes? Have you ever smelled a rose, a darker rose where the aroma is fuller, juicier and seems more complex?
That’s what Ford seems to have here in this scent, a little incense-like and, yes, like the name implies-floral.
Projects very well and lasts a good amount of time.
43evgen – :
If you’re into rose and oud then this is your best bet.. it’s beautifully made. Way better than oud ispahan.
liviz – :
An initially bright floral frgrance which soons morphs into a patchoulli drydown….
I applied 6 heavy sprays.
0 -1 hours 6 inch projection. This fragrance starts of very promising and has an appeal with fresh florals and is quite youthful, but quite quickly turns into a more of a tobacco scent(tobacco is not listed) I don’t see this as a heavy oud fragrance
1 hours- 3 hours – 4 inch projection. Patchoulli takes over and this fragrance becomes very mature
3 hours – 6 hours – 1 inch projection. Close to skin, its pretty much just patchoulli now. This fragrance has low performance
The best thing about this fragrance is the opening but it goes down hill from there
Not for me

What a great warm and spicy scent and almost close to perfect type of oud fragrance!
TF Oud Fleur is listed among Woody Chypre types and has a great balance in representing a pleasant dominant bitter musky oud with a flavor of spicy rose.
This stuff stays on your skin and specially clothes quite long and it is exactly what expected from a high quality expensive fragrance 🙂
The scent is clear, unique and pretty linear to its base dry-down and is accompanied with resins, patchouli and sandalwood.
I will cost you a fortune and you’d better be a rich guy with a elegant classy look and be over 40 years old 🙂
In my opinion:
Scent: 10/10 ***
Projection: 9/10
Longevity: 9.5/10
Price: expensive
Overall: 9/10
SABAKA EBAKA – :
Smoky wood and boozy rose….little bit of cedar and small dose of patchouli.Quite like out in the nature, the smell of bonfire that’s what this reminds me of. Man could pull this one of quite well, lumber jack, country type a guy. Or if you simply like to smell like a bonfire with touch of classy style this is it. Hangs around for half a day and it does not changes, one dimensional.
mariomf – :
Oud fleur. The initial blast is awesome but it’s very misleading. This frag goes a totally opposite way from beginning to end. I have a few rose scents in my growing collection and this is my least favorite. Will I sell or spilt this, no. An abundance of Mr fords in the arsonel is never a bad thing, granted this will get worn maybe twice in the year. What I don’t like is the dry down. It has this old lady stinky rose funk. Imagine a batch of roses in a vase, that sat there for a month with no fresh water added to them. 2 out of 5 is my rating for this. Looking for a crisp rose try declaration dun soir or a rose with personality oud ispahan. I can’t see someone stopping me with this to throw a compliment my way.
tmcylh – :
Im a sucker for all Tom Ford fragrances and this is no exception. It has a perfect balance of bitter musky oud with fresh but spicy rose. Might smell good on a woman, but oud always runs masculine to my nose. I only wish it lasted a little longer, especially for the price. Still a fantastic scent. I love it.
orestrudnik – :
I’m deeply suspicious of all Tom Ford private blends, because of the asking price. Are we being ripped off, or sold genuine masterpieces? This I can never tell. My opinion swings backwards and forwards. At any rate, there is no way I am paying that sort of money until I find something that I consider out-of-this-world spectacular. This isn’t it. I like it… I’ll come for the ride. But ultimately it’s another rose / resin concoction with a dash of oud. Colour of the “Fleur” would be amber. Not bad. I’d buy it under $100. But that will never happen.
Bigos – :
I gave it to my hubby as I found it way too masculine for me.
ALEX_UA_ – :
This is a nice spicy rose scent, very well done.
malidemons – :
This is a more refined, less sweet version of Estee Lauder’s Amber Mystique. The cloying sweetness of the red berries and synthetic rose mixed with the warmth of amber was too much for me in Mystique, however, Tom Ford’s Oud Fleur is a more balanced, smooth fragrance. Three sprays lasted me all day and perfumes do not last long on me at all. The oud really dominates in the the drydown, as the afternoon wore on I could catch whifs of exotic oud every now and again. I plan to purchase a full bottle at some point 🙂
kosssssss – :
I’m female and I think this stuff is mesmerizing. It is a little manly and spicy but there is a softness to it. A little goes a long way!
nait – :
For me, it’s a beguiling scent. I get rose and the oud immediately and I can see the similarities to this one and the exclusive TF London scent. Whereas TF’s London has a lot of spices and woods in it; this does too but Oud Fleur with the floral aspect is even more satisfying than TF’s London scent. I did buy a big 8.4 oz bottle of Oud Fleur so I will have many many years of enjoyment of this fragrance. It’s a very formal scent even though I will wear it to work day to day because why should one wear a fragrance “just for formal occasions” only nowadays; every day is a formal occasion if you think about it. Live now, smell good now.
Back to the fragrance, the rose and the patchouli continue to commingle in this scent to the dry down and also another thing, I have worn this one with TF’s Black Orchid and the two together are GORGEOUS! That’s what I love about the TF lines, you can mix and match the scents and create a really beautiful personal scent of your own liking.
They say it’s more masculine than feminine and vice versa but honestly, it’s all about confidence when it comes to fragrance. Anyone with enough confidence can pull this one off by itself.
traforet – :
I wear this on days I want to feel sexy. It’s that plain and simple. I smell the balsamic as well as as the oud as well as rose, but not as much as when I wear Oud Wood. This one is much more acidic which makes it alluring and sensual . It’s not for little girls and that’s what I like about it. A dirty mistress would wear this perfume and every woman has a dirty mistress in her.
yanush – :
I regret giving my sample for someone else, I miss this smell 🙁
hds028Unlogrere – :
To my nose, a dark, smokey (slightly), musky, rose. I think it’s unisex for sure, but leans a bit masculine. …. not for little girls. Layers well with TF oud wood imo. I love it. Probably better to non frag people in cold months, though I’m looking forward to hot Temps for this one. Get a sample or decant, I think you’ll not be disappointed if you like dark rose.
peteraskonty – :
UPDATE: actually I don’t like this.
It smells way too masc for a femme
to own. I can say, borrow this from
a dude, but there are far way better
choices in accompanying much more
beautiful bottles than to have to put up
with this second choice. My bottle is up
for a swap. I’d want anything from Creed
(Women’s) or Chanel exclusifs line. Peace
роса72 – :
I have been searching for a good Rose Oud
because I love Rose and I love Oud but find
Oud to be masc, sO since Rose is femme I’d
thought the combination would render Oud to
be wearable for me, but others I have like the
Aerin Rose although has a promising opening
ended up smelling like a DUDE, and same w/
the Kilian Rose Oud sadly. This is supposed
to be Oud Rose & then later got changed to
Oud Fleur – both appealing names to me, &
the opening is rather masc I find that as it
settles it turns wearable for either gender.
Not sure if it disappeared (I put 4-5 sprays
wrists, armpits, back of neck, and neck/ear
regions) and not sure if it’s still here. Peace
valv22 – :
I love thisss. A boosy, caramel, floral with oud, resin, and sandalwood. Just gorgeous. I think I even smell cinnamon. Reminds me a little bit of the sunscreen smell in shanghai lily and cafe rose. I do smell beer but beer smells good lol. I’d love to add this to my collection but, I’ve already bought two Tom Fords. A third is a reach :L
koritza73 – :
Mildewed manure fertilized with rose, Tom Ford can sell anything.
kulak005 – :
The opening of this was very alcoholic and harsh to me. Soon it settles down. The first image that came to mind was a stereotypical image. A big granma with a big hairy head and a furry coat. I can smell the flowers, a dominant rose, but the mix with this and the oud turns in something very familiar. The alcoholic opening wasn,t just the opening. This smells like beer. Wearing this is equal like you,ve spilled beer on yourself. Not good
DepBinapere – :
A strong woodsy bittersweet cousin to declaration d’un soir intense ,especially once this parfum drydown, longevity about six to eight hours on the skin and 24 hours on cotton shirt,got a bottle of this parfum for the colder months ahead,very nice.
allo4ka1601 – :
I think I have to try this one again, the opening was just so off putting I didn’t give it a chance… it was stuffy and dirty ;( but maybe I would’ve liked the drydown? :/
kalian-g – :
This is magnificent, very similar to mona di orio oud, just a little less skank., which brings it from meh, to oh my. Dark and heavy, even tasting it at times (two sprays).
9/10 all over the board, the oud is more representative of the real stuff, not synthetic even if it is really, probably is. If that makes sense
nokia71 – :
A truly wonderful masculine/feminine vibe with this one…I get a fair amount of rose and spice on the initial blast, and as it warms to the skin the oud steps forward. For me, the patch balances everything nicely. This is not for the weak of mind nor the feint of heart, this is a big bold fragrance, almost akin to the Fendi and Paloma Pocasso of the 80’s genre. I can see why SAs suggest this to people who love Black Orchid, it has a similar headiness but for me without being overbearing.
Гоша56 – :
Just sprayed, so strong! Smells like old coridor, like someone just burned some incense. Wow, like mid ages, and resembles to war. I wear this right now, it’s interesting, from black orchid family. I would like to have one perfume like this, something interesting, but it’s very expensive, so maybe I would buy something cheaper with similar vibe. On hair it smells better.
Mad_max – :
Classica combinazione rosa/oud che io amo molto.
Ma di bellezza molto fragile.
Questo profumo è identico a As Sawira Penhaligon’s, uno skinscent privo di prioiezione, affascinante ma troppo evanescente.
Oud molto ammorbidito da una rosa pallida, elegante e fievole.
L’austerità del flacone contrasta la debolezza della fragranza, che resta gradevole… Una femminilità remissiva, forse rassegnata, timida.
Like but not love.
Lestat-85 – :
A nice stinky resinous rose oud with hints of sandalwood. I like this one quite a bit. Very rich in rose/sandalwood dry down.
Edit: I wish it wasn’t so resinous/powdery. I don’t smell much rose, more Oud/Sandalwood/Resin… I like it, for me its not FBW, but at any rate it’s still…
Top 10 Tom Ford
eryslan1 – :
not what i was hoping for.
on me this becomes a sweetened black-pepper scent with powdery overtones. it keeps alllmost going to this amazing place, but hasn’t yet. good for my wallet, though.
krasin63A – :
For some reason Fragrantica has very limited details about this fragrance.. I don’t know how to “suggest” my research or to fix it myself, but this is a very complex and sophisticated fragrance (I just bought one yesterday!), more smokey and less warm than most rose/oud combo.
“Private Blend Oud Fleur is composed around an oud wood core, amplified with additional woody notes: patchouli, sandalwood, incense, styrax, cistus, a leather accord, ambergris and castoreum.
The Middle East’s Damascus Rose heritage is evoked with a blend of Rose Bulgaria ORPUR, Rose Absolute Morocco and Rose Absolute Turkey ORPUR, said to combine fresh petal, nectar and stem-like scent signatures.
This floral heart is enhanced with ginger CO2, cardamom seed oil ORPUR, cinnamon bark Laos ORPUR and pimento berry. The composition is completed with a touch of Geranium Egypt ORPUR, tagette, osmanthus, davana oil and a date accord.”

This is truly a unisex fragrance. I was a little worried how a fleur oud could be masculine and feminine, but this fragrance was blended well.
The scent is great and i am normally not a fan of fleur scents.
The Longevity is good as well. I have no complaints in this department, this fragrance has good staying power.
Sillage is moderate.
I got a complement on it by two women.
My marks..
Scent: 7.5/10
Longevity: 7/10
Sillage: 6.5/10

Oud Fleur
———-
I had a tough time with this stuff.
I expected some smooth flowery oud (just like the most beautiful oud wood) out of this fragrance whereas it turned out to be a stink. There is surely some improper testing done before releasing this fragrance. I mean why would someone like to smell like a granpa when there is still a whole life ahead and hell lot of great perfumes to smell.
This is by far the worst oud I have come across. Totally confused on what does this frag contains. I can smell a serious mismatch of oud and resins. flower is trying to sneak in but the other two notes are murdering it.
this is a highly confused fragrance which is self obsessed of being a Tom ford creation but however does not have any self identity.
Pass for me.
Blade009 – :
I’m not a huge fan of “flowery” perfumes and I wasn’t in a real hurry to try this offering from the Tom Ford machine. After tobacco ouds dense richness I figured this would be light. Was I wrong…
More woods than flowers, Oud Fleur, is a dark and deep perfume that has thankfully toned down the rose that most rose/oud combos seem to celebrate. I have several, Rose Oud by kilian, Montales powerhouse Black Oud, and Mr fords Noir d Noir, and this is my favorite of all of them precisely because the Rose is less promenent. The oud accord is very heavy handed and to my nose, dominates. More so than in the other oud perfumes from Tom Fords private label. If I were to spend money on a full bottle of oud centric perfumes from this line, it would be this one.
Performance is above average
Scent 7/10 initially….8/10 on the dry down as the Rose takes a further backseat to the woods
Projection 7/10…wafts in and out
Fortitude 8/10…hangs on like a wino to a bottle
ansej – :
Luckily, I hate this. As if I loved it there would be no way I can justify spending that much money on a fragrance.
Far too strong on the incense and not enough of the fleur.
The second Niche I tried and diskiked, not just me but my entire family wanted to retch.
I am sorry to anyone who loves this scent and carries it off with aplomb but it is not for this white floral, sweet, lover.
I hope there is a Niche one out there for me, but this is not it!
lyv902bedyWelty – :
Not your typical rose and oud fragrance. This has a strange note blended in this that’s not listed. A bit sour, cinnamon resembling note. Perhaps geranium? Whatever it is it really brings this fragrance to life for me. Solid addition.
kniazone – :
A solid fragrance. Feels very substantial. Firm and well crafted.
Seems best for evening or dress wear. Or luxurious casual wears (leather and fur).
Manly balance of the notes. Rich.
snake161 – :
This is a rather lightweight oud for me, but that may be a plus for those who are not crazy about Oud. Initially, it’s rather strange and a bit frightening as all Tom Fords seem to be to my nose. They all have this ‘odd’ note which then morphs into something amazing!
The opening is floral and resembles Atelier d’Orient Plum Japonais, but then the genius in this scent lies in its ability to metamorphasize into something else, resembling burnt flowers and wood. It’s main appeal to me is the presence of a really dirty patchouli!! Heaven!!!!
The smell starts to change constantly and I admit that I found myself inhaling deeply at different times of the day enraptured with this gorgeous aroma.
Very very beautiful and clever perfume, I love it!!
For me I prefer Oud Wood, which is a little fresher and where oud predominates, but this is a fabulous perfume and well worth the price tag. I will be adding a bottle to my ever increasing collection of TF’s.
Longevity is forever, silage is about 2 feet
weernexmen – :
Well, I hope I won;t be courting any controversy with my ramblings; Initial sensation is a soft, warm and slightly ‘sticky’ oud/resin that I love on my skin. I almost get a slight warm amber in there too. No medicinal or sharp tones – it’s a very cozy, approachable oud! BUT… wait 20 minutes and this juice undergoes a metamorphosis! It has become a predominantly geranium/soft rose concoction with maybe the slightest hint of wet earth (from the patchouli?) I’m getting the slightest hint of something like violet (?) too – this is a beautiful and interesting scent but too floral for me. I can’t think of any other scent that I’ve recently sampled that changes character is such a beautiful way. It seems to become ‘cooler’ as it drys-down. This is something I haven’t experienced before. Most scents seem (to me at least) to release their warmer tones as time passes – this turns that idea on its head. I do not find there to be a dominant ‘heady’ rose scent here, and it’s all the better for it. A very interesting scent.

CAPTIVATING
I LOVE the rose sandalwood -resin -patchouli combination.
This is a fragile softer, side of oud. Much more delicate than most ouds.
A warm fuzzy fragrance that smells exactly what the notes suggest. Yet there are more notes in here , just not listed on fragrantica. Absolutely love it , very fresh due to rose and oud and sweet and warm due to resin and sandalwood. There is a hint of soft suede in here , really great. Wears close to the skin , my favourite of his oud collection. The sandalwood is creamy and fuzzy and milky and fresh and soapy, it fills all my needs and wants in one perfume. Its magnificent !!!!
It layers beautifully with a few other TF fragrances.
Cafe Rose
Patchouli Absolue
Oud wood
Santal blush
This is an amazing fragrance. It has many different levels and personalities throughout its wear time. The dry down is my very favorite part. Warm sandalwood , very unusual and milky. It goes through different stages. Incredible perfume. Genius !

@Patzaidan…
“Terrible” is not a review, it is a statement.
A review would be elaborating on why you personally believe this is terrible.
Even though I don not agree with your opinion on this fragrance, it is entirely valid, as fragrance is most definitely a subjective realm. However, it would be informative to hear the reasons behind your dislike….
BignTeliKeede – :
This should be called Oud Spice. Very spicy, which overwhelms the floral more than I like. Cinnamon is strong, also something like clove and cardamon. It bends toward a gourmand oud, which makes it very seasonal for me. I’d wear this only in the late fall and holiday season, as I generally do with other gourmands (like Daim Blond). To its credit, the oud is very, very nice– long-lasting, smooth, and doesn’t become medicinal. After about six hours, the spices have receded, and the ambergris and incense come forward while the oud shimmers in the background. It’s quite exquisite at this point, and not faint, but I still wouldn’t make the journey often. I’ll keep with other rose/oud combos that don’t remind me of a holiday candle (a nice holiday candle!).
Insurgent – :
I am enjoying this fragrance! It gave me a reaction to make an impulse purchase and there is only one other fragrance that made me have that same kind of reaction and that is memoir woman. So I was very pleased to find that this fragrance did that. I didn’t buy it. Not yet. But it will soon be in my collection and I can’t wait! Tom Ford is going to have me broke by the time I’m done getting the fragrances I love lol!
mgeladze – :
am new to ouds so i can’t testify to its strength. but i really like this scent. just the right amount of intensity. sophisticated. individual. something to flaunt.

@Jack Hunter: I’ve ALWAYS ALWAYS enjoyed reading your reviews. You do such a fantastic job…. Thank you…..!
VKmasterS – :
This opens with a strong sweetened rose with a lot of patchouli coming through. The oud note is a bit subdued within this blend and does not really stand out.
Eventually the scent becomes woody and tames the sweetened rose.
This is a very nice fragrance but there are so many like this which this is not the best.
Mezfa408JeomiWogkig – :
Very interesting! Maybe I am biased since I’m a little new to oud notes, but I like this one. It is a mysterious and dark dirty rose and wood scent. The floral note is so delicate and pretty underneath the rich woods and spices. It feels a bit ghostly because of the dry, pleasantly musty oud. It makes me imagine attending a seance in an old, haunted Victorian house. Very long lasting, but has soft projection and sillage.
Aerohopleneribir – :
“Oud Fleur”? More like “Fleur avec un peu de Oud”.
Upon hitting the skin – I got a lot of a dirty, deep rose, with incense and some oud. Fast forward about two minutes and we’ve got cardamom, spices, and something of a chocolate sweetness in there along with… more rose. Pleasant but balmy, intriguing, and leans ever so slightly towards the “feminine” side of the unisex scale. But really, what is feminine and masculine these days anyway?
The balmy element fades and throughout the dry down remains the rose and sweet resins, with some of the oud coming out to play here and there. The sandalwood also makes its way forward, balancing the field, with subtle patchouli adding more depth to the scent.
This certainly isn’t an oud-lover’s paradise. However, it’s a pleasant, sweet and spicy rose to be enjoyed by those who appreciate their florals – but long for something beyond your typical, mundane rose fragrance. Oud Fleur goes beyond a rose’s beautiful flower, and makes its way down the stem, taking the thorns with it. Not what I was expecting, but definitely enjoyable in its own way.

The following review is really for my notes only, its very brief and leaves out a ton of details. Im just typing something that I remember each by. Im sure I will disrespect someones favorite fragrance too.
Opens with a lot of dry rose and oud and then later on dries into a dry rose only. No…

Tried this again today.Slightly disappointed as I sense a been there done that sampling of Cafe Rose,Frederic Malle’s Lipstick Rose (the initial squirt has a real waxy lipstick note in my opinion which lasts quite a while) and to a much lesser extent the spices of Dior’s Oud Ispahan.No oud here either.The title is misleading.
Pleasant but hardly groundbreaking.
On the podium of the latest Tom Ford Ouds,it gets the bronze medal behind Tobacco Oud and Oud Wood.

WOW, this perfume is stunning!! After about an hour, Oud Fleur starts to resemble Cafe Rose but without the coffee note. This fragrance is a must have for rose lovers. I am skipping the Cafe Rose and going straight for this one!!

I absolutely adore this dirty rose. Le Labo Rose 31 has a similar vibe but Oud Fleur seems to have more depth, that little something extra. Feminine? I don’t agree, this is for a confident man who is comfortable with who he is and his own sexuality, hetero, gay or otherwise. I am besotted.

No discernible oud note to me at all, real or synthetic, even through the drydown. Not even much of a rose note,
