Polished saffron over sweet damp pud mostly cambodi. No animalics at all. I can smell soapy taif rose as well. The musk in the drydown resembles the magnificent Kasturi Deer Musk from India. Loved it.

An amazing, oud blend.
The oud is not anamalic but instead is aged and has a dry myrrh/amber type of scent. A multifaceted blend, the notes are constantly shifting. This is not a boring, single note, linear fragrance.
Though this blend’s royal scent can definitely be worn to kingly or black-tie events, I feel that it can be worn comfortably in slacks or jeans as well. Rouh Al Oud just has this “easy-going” feel to it. Definitely easy to wear daily and can be worn year-round, at parties, events, the office, at home and as your own signature scent.
Sillage is Very large and trails nicely while you are moving. This oil blend is long lasting.
Blind buy worthy and great for people new to oud.
9/10

I had this from a friend as a gift now like it so much and want to buy another one. Does any one know the price and where to order from. Thanks

Another winner from Abdul Samad Al Qurashi.
Rouh Al Aoud is pretty different from most of the fragrances I’ve tried from this firm as it’s probably one of the *easiest* to like in their range. It’s quite a complex and multifaceted blend that, while being supposedly made out of only pure oud oil, it’s definitely not. It’s a proper composition…and a very good one, I would add.
I get four different phases here. It opens with a catchy spicy-oud accord that feels somewhat clean. There’s the freshness of the spices (which might include some saffron) and the smooth leathery-woody aroma of oud. The oud here is of the sweeter / softer kind as opposed to the barnyard-y one. Mind me though, sweeter as in slightly fruity. No sugar.
The fragrance then slowly starts to morph into a super radiant rosy / waxy / sparkling middle phase that clearly winks at classic / old-fashioned western perfumery. This phase goes on for quite a while until the oud note re-starts to remark its presence giving birth to the classic middle eastern *rose-oud* theme. WOW! This would be already enough to declare Rouh Al Aoud a big winner but it’s not over yet…
With time, the oud takes over the rest again and, together with smooth musky undertones and spices, opens the door to an endless and superlative woody drydown that’s definitely more similar to the opening. What a ride!
Now, the nature of Rouh Al Aoud would make of this fragrance one hell of an option for both oud-novices interested in exploring classic arabic oils and oud-aficionados looking for an everyday type of oud without giving up on the complexity of these kind of blends.
Versatile, immediately likable, entertaining and even educational but, most of all, very very good.
Rating: 7.5-8/10

I applied this in the morning, and it is an excellent light daytime oud scent. No fears wearing this to work. Very people-friendly with beautiful oud notes, but without the usual 2-hr required waiting period before being seen/smelled in public. I put this one on and walk right out. No mystery here, straightforward yet gentle, and not in your face. Nice mid and long drydown on me but still seems to keep changing notes like typical ouds. So it’s essentially letting me wear oud without the “mess”.
This is nothing like ASAQ’s pure ouds or even Sadine and Heritage, which are excellent but heavier incense-rose fragrances for nights and for more serious oud lovers.
Unlike @Adam’s Oud, I thought this would be a great oud for beginners. Very light and with no harshness at all. I wear this one out with my friends without fear. Nice long drydown but still seems to keep changing on me.

i smelled it once, just from the stick. i liked it very much. if you tried other rooh al oud attars which are very famous in india then you have an idea… hard to explain, it consist of oud mainly with some indian spices. the only problem is that most of those attars are very cheap and of a very bad quality. Rood al oud by Qurashi is a good example of how Rooh al Oud suppose to smell.
ps
those new to oud may find this attar to be a bit tooo much for them , so
i would recommend it to those who are familiar with oud ( yet this is not pure/high quality oud )
