Description
Comptoir Sud Pacifique presents their new collection inspired by Aoud as the central ingredient and theme of the line of Voyages to the Orient.
Four fragrances of the collection arrive in flacons of 100 ml (3.4 oz) EDP and they are presented to the market in April 2009. Each of the fragrances has a small palm-shaped pendant on the neck of the bottle, which represents the brand of CSP and is featured on exotic logo of the company.
The fourth fragrant traveler of the Voyages to the Orient collection is Oud Intense, with its accentuated and intensive combination representing heart of the East. Top notes of the fragrance incorporate currant buds and leaves; a heart is composed of rose and patchouli, while a base encompasses amber, cedar, pine needles and musk.

“Intense oudh” makes you think of a very heady oud, so this is a quite misleading name description. This scent is actually the opposite, It’s light and airy and I do think that it could be used all of the seasons. A very nice and inoffencive oud blend as it is a good “beginners oud”.
Classy and elegant:)

Got this at a Sephora in the Middle East a few years ago and I’m so sad it’s almost gone! It’s an intoxicating spicy/woodsy scent that I ALWAYS get complemented on when I wear it.

This is my second from CSP Oud series and I must say I’m not impressed. Ok, I’m not saying that this is not good, but as Doc Elly already said – there is no oud, so what’s the point of calling it “oud intense”?
About the smell itself – on my skin it appears very masculine, the first and dominant note definitely is pine tree which is not my favorite note, but I like to smell it on other people, after the first intense burst of pine tree lemon appears and mingles for a moment to fade away and leave me with shy, woody/aromatic scent, which for me is rather disappointing.

I don’t know why this is called Oud Intense because it’s not really oud and it it’s not particularly intense. It doesn’t even have oud listed in the notes. It’s just plain woody with cedar, pine, and some teak-like aroma chemicals that give it a strange, almost motor oil-like note at first.
As it dries down it actually becomes stronger for a while, adding aromatic herbal notes, possibly lavender, to the wood. The fairly unremarkable woody-amber drydown lasts for about 5-6 hours. This is a nice enough fragrance, but it’s my least favorite of the CSP Oud series.
