Pearl Oud a gem formed within the shell of a pearl Rose and Iris. Pearl Oud is an homage to Doha, to its ancestral culture of the pearl and a wink to the magnificent mall where Kilian opened his first boutique in Qatar: THE PEARL.
Perfumer: Christiano Provenzano.
Opening: a cocktail of spices, of saffron and black pepper, powdered by iris.
Heart: a rich and opulent bouquet of jasmine, turkish rose and ylang ylang.
Drydown: indian oud and castoreum come together to give an intense animalistic personality to the perfume.
The rose and iris smell are strong in this one but the leather and castoreum make this fragrance dirty, animalistic and give its base a unique character that surrounds itself with rose and iris. The opening is beautiful, opulent, exotic and dangerous. The black pepper and the oud make the opening very aggressive, but that aggressiveness quiets down quickly and it becomes a very classy and expensive smelling scent. Unfortunately, the longevity of this one is not a beast mode, it becomes a skin scent after 4 to 5 hours. Projection on opening is phenomenal, it definitely fills up the room and the price of it empties your bank account.

Smelled it today
IT smells exactly like King’s Road by Boadecia the Victorious
In short: Unique and elegant scent

I have a hard time describing this one. To my nose it is both dirty and clean at the same time. Like a very dirty Oud note gently wrapped in clean linen, fresh from the dryer. A great twist on the over played Oud note.
I get great projection and longevity on my skin. I can see this one in either casual or dress clothes.
Bottom line: This one is worth a sample

Ehhh I just found out Kilian is ripping the American dollars hardcore…
This one and the Middle-East Exclusives are only €355 worldwide (roughly $380, which is only 73.2% more expensive than the regular €205), yet the price is somehow $475 here (82.7% more expensive than $260) -_-
Why the hell would anyone buy these in the U.S. and spend $95 more??

This perfume is interesting in that it is acrid in a way that is shared by very few ouds I have experienced.
The classic ‘oud’ note, the medicinal/band-aid like scent is there, but so too are a number of other notes, including an interesting intense salty note that I cannot account for. Perhaps that is the way I interpret castoreum?
The ouds are supported by a mild floral composition that contains saffron and possibly rose. This aspect is relatively unimportant to the overall fragrance.
While a fascinating fragrance, this does not give any easy openings to the wearer, and would probably pose a challenge to many people unfamiliar with oud and/or middle-eastern fragrances.
I did not enjoy wearing it, and over-sprayed with Kilian’s Rose Oud at about the 5th hour, which rendered it a bit more pleasant.

By Kilian Pearl Oud is perhaps the most provocative fragrance I’ve tried from their house–a brilliant, dirty, lovely oud-dominant fragrance that is floral but never truly sweet. A very pungent opening of black pepper and saffron dries down into a mix of roses, with the base notes of oud and (hopefully synthetic) castoreum providing the oud and leather scents throughout the entire experience. The main evolution of this is from the spicy opening to the rosy heart.
Truly a powerful experience, Pearl Oud is one of the best-performing fragrances I’ve ever tried, as it’s on the extreme of both projection and longevity.
To that effect, surely this should have mainly cold weather usage, and probably for more important occasions at night as opposed to everyday wear.
The main downside is–like many other oud-named fragrances from By Kilian that are also excellent, such as Incense Oud and Amber Oud–Pearl Oud too is significantly overpriced, and to an even greater extent. Its pricing of $475 for 50ml is greater than the typical oud pricing of $395 for 50ml and well above the other city boutique exclusives at $295 for 50ml. It’s just a tough sell, which is a bummer, because it’s such a great scent.

First impression, this is the most beautiful oud I have ever smelled. Only time will change my mind or make that statement better. It’s a little medicinal in a perfect way, not cloying but very strong. A little on my skin is projecting hard. Perfect balance of notes and sweetness. Niche at its finest!!
Ok so I have been playing around with this fragrance for awhile now. It’s amazing. We have all had our fair share of oud now. It’s in everything. Rose oud is a combo that is really just over for me. But this composition somehow was able to blend the two notes tog In such a well done way that on skin I feel I just discovered the note of oud all over again. It’s got a sweet undertone and a slight tinge of medicinal oud which here it works perfectly. It’s masculine but still has that rose. It’s very well done and I highly recommend one to pick up the kilian exclusive sample pack to get your nose on these not so common compositions . Art.

This time Kilian stepped out of his comfort zone and created an Oud that’s not completely westernized; with an animalic edge that sets it apart, it feels authentic (Middle Eastern) and organic although the rose is a bit too sharp.. I still like Eternal Oud the best.

A beautiful addition to the oud power lineup by kilian. It smells…well, to me it doesn’t have a discerning note…it smells like all the other ouds smashed together…I pick up rose and incense and some musk and then just plain oud…medicinal and roses on the top to a heart that is darker and smoker…I really like this one. When freshly applied it has a very dank animalistic rankness that is heavenly.
Smell 10/10…beautiful and potent and so different to the others…more akin to an Arabian release from by kilian.
Projection 8/10…room filling when wet, it dries down a bit closer
Fortitude 10/10 one of their best….still smell it on my skin, faintly, after 24 hours
To me a mishmash of all the other ouds that somehow finds it’s own particular spot on the shelf…The best of the bunch

oh wow…
sharp, acrid rose punctuated by faecal-strength animalic elements. yeesh — this doesn’t feel right. i can’t smell any black pepper but there is saffron in the mix…
that rose is cloyingly sweet and headache-inducing. my goodness…
