Oud Damascena by Katana Parfums: Dark Rose, Smoke and Oud

Katana Parfums presents Oud Damascena, a unisex scent from the Oriental Floral family, launched in 2021. It brings together Damask rose and oud in a smoky, animalic blend that is both elegant and daring.

Perfumer Alp Veliogullari is behind this creation, which dances between light and shadow: the citrusy zing of yuzu and the softness of May rose are countered by oud wood, smoke and ambergris.

The opening of Oud Damascena feels fresh and sharp, thanks to the yuzu, but the roses quickly take over. Damask rose and May rose lend a rich floral depth, while a darker, smokier undertone lingers beneath.

At the heart, the perfume becomes more intricate. Oud wood, smoke and animalic notes intertwine with Damask rose and ambergris, giving the composition a sensual, almost hypnotic texture. This is the core of its mysterious appeal.

The base is all about smoke and woods, with rose and Damask rose never far away. The trail is woody, slightly animalic and smoky, leaving a lasting imprint on the skin.

The main accords include animalic, oud, smoky, rose, woody, amber, musky, citrus, floral and fresh spicy notes. It's a complex profile that will appeal to those who appreciate perfumes with real depth.

With an average rating of 3.7 out of 5 from 40 reviews, Oud Damascena clearly splits opinion. Some love its bold character; others find it a little too intense or animalic for everyday wear.

Oud Damascena suits wearers who enjoy bold, characterful fragrances – especially lovers of rose-oud combinations, smoky woods and animalic undertones. It's perfect for evening events or for making a statement.

This is a confident, uncompromising fragrance from Katana Parfums. Oud Damascena demands attention but offers a rich, rewarding experience for those who are drawn to its dark floral heart.

    The start is devastating, and not in the good sense of the word. Very vinegary, strong, almost unbearable, although curiously after a few hours it becomes pleasant, but it’s not worth enduring 2 hours for that.
