Does this fragrance smell strongly of oud?+−
No, the oud in this composition is used as a complementary woody base rather than a bold or medicinal centerpiece. It provides structure and depth to the coffee and amber notes without being overpowering.
Is this a safe blind buy for coffee lovers?+−
It is considered a polarizing scent. While the coffee note is present, the heavy influence of peach and blackcurrant in the opening and the specific woody-oriental base means it may not be the "pure" coffee scent some expect. Sampling is recommended.
How long does the fragrance typically last?+−
True to the reputation of the house, this fragrance is known for its durability. Most wearers find it lasts most of the day on skin and even longer on clothing, with a noticeable presence for the first several hours.
Is Aoud Café more masculine or feminine?+−
It is classified as unisex. The fruity top notes and sweet amber cater to feminine preferences, while the dry woods, coffee, and musk provide a darker, more traditionally masculine foundation.
