A sad story about a pushy SA at Barney’s in Chicago, and my happy ending. While visiting my daughter I wanted to visit Barney’s to see if they had anything new. The SA was snide and had a superior attitude to go with her botoxed face. While monopolizing my time with her non stop questions and paper samples, the SA said that “I probably didn’t know what kind of perfume I liked”. As I tried to get away she thrust a paper under my nose and insisted I spray the top of my hand.
I thanked her and we left. As we trekked through the city, my nose kept sniffing out my hand. It was glorious! I had no idea what it was though. My daughter remembered it was Atkinsons and had Queen in it. When I got home I searched for it and bought it on the spot. I had grown very tired of Oud fragrances, but this one was so different I fell in love with it. You will have to experience it yourself to fall in love, just don’t go to Barney’s.

First off… I must commend the name of this fragrance – creative!! The SA at HR in MTL is a big fan of Atkinson and introduced me to the house in the cold winter months during on of my stops at the counter. This fragrance is a beautiful oud. It is not overpowering nor is it overbearing; it is classy and regal. The tonka-oud combo is dreamy. It does have a bit of a grapey-vibe happening, but it is not off-putting. This fragrance is well crafted and is obviously made of fine, hand picked ingredients. A little pricey but the quality is definitely there. Beautiful for a night out or an event – I wore this to a formal and felt like a queen. Oud save the Queen in all of us. xx

WOW. I found this when sorting through my decants/samples given to me from others. I don’t think I even tried it before. THIS is in the top five of my favorite oud fragrances. With tonka beans, agarwood and jasmine as the top three loudest/longest lasting notes, you just cannot go wrong in my book. I think that this is another oud fragrance for those afraid to try them. Its base is soft, but still so very fragrant!! Powdery oud….just WOW. I have had one spritz from the sample, and 4 hours later it is more than a skin scent and am certain others could still smell it on me if I was moving around them. Phenomenal….I must have some!

I loved the notes on paper, but disliked Oud save the queen..
I imagined a feminine jasmine and oud mix.
To me it’s like Lush’s Vanillary with some white florals and coconut and a fine oudy trail in the drydown.
The oud was very subdued, and the overall feeling that of a very sweet perfume. I really dislike Vanillary and the resemblance was quite prominent so the search for the elusive jasmine oud perfume continues for me , this wasn’t it sadly.

Oud Save the Queen – Atkinsons! You are luxurious, classy, cool, sensual, brave and mysterious.
Everytime I’ve sprayed this perfume on me, I get a lot of compliments. A friend of mine once told me that my scent makes her feel like she’s inferior. And it was Oud Save the Queen that I was wearing. The comment cracked me up, but I totally get what she meant. This scent truthfully is regal! No aldehydes, no super soapiness or powder – not that I love those scents any less! But this is so hard to describe…Imagine you’re in a high end boutique in NYC. It’s that scent that just draws you in and captivates, makes you feel like you are “someone” or in some case might make you feel like you don’t belong there. But that’s not me.
The opening is huge blast of earl grey tea and bergamot and sparkling florals in the background. As the scent dries it gets more and more sweet but not sugary. Lots and lots of tonka bean on an oud-woody base. The tonka bean + jasmine reminds me of Dior Addict (edP)! But not an actual vanilla bean here in the mix at all. Often I actually like to add some vanilla into this by layering some vanilla perfume like Comptoir Sud Pacifique or Lavanila over it. (Lavanila’s Pure Vanilla + Oud Save the Queen is pure Heaven for me!)
For 2 years today, this scent has been one of my three most favourite scents. I have about 30-40 scents that I love a lot and use semi-often, but Oud Save the Queen I use at least once a week just like the other 2 of 3 of the most favourites.
I pray this never gets discontinued!

Notes listed here has nothing to do with reality. Smell is awful and just like some knock off at the back street. Raspberries and tart.

My first Oud and a fantastic one to begin with.
Begins with a massive hit of Oud and warm wood. I swear I can get Amber in there somewhere too. There are many other scents in the background, tantalising and waiting to burst through.
On dry down a jasmine sweetness comes to the fore, silky smooth and creamy. Perfectly balanced with this is the earl grey, providing a crisp note to offset..

Lovely, warm, spicy. Feeling of something found that was lost, not knowing it was lost, untill i found it again in this smell.
Absolute fall and winter favorite.

I tried both Save the King AND the Queen and preferred the Queen.
I am male and think this could be worn by men too even though it ststes that it is a female fragrance.
Not quite worth adding to my collection as I have other ouds but definately worth looking into.

This is an excellent perfume – really smooth, floral and rich; and a delicate oud makes it a winner. My immediate association was (it’s very silly) grape juice mixed with oud. Oud lover should really check it out!
