Santi Burgas Oud is a perfume of OUD, so, with a capital O, because that is what it is, nothing more and nothing less. It’s not an unpleasant oud but rather of the dirty and slightly animal type; the quality of the oud is excellent, surely coming from the Carbonell factory. I was more surprised by Gao with this style of bare wood oud without many adornments because it’s a perfume that can be worn perfectly in the heat, and this one doesn’t. The price of 295€/100ml is ‘not expensive’ in quotes, for talking about a niche quality oud perfume, in my opinion of course, but I miss a bit more distinction like Al-Khatt or Hayat, or versatility like Gao. I mean, I wouldn’t go for it blindly, but it’s recommended to try it if you are an oud lover. Rating: 7.5/10.
This is one of the true fathers of oud; I stand up before such a creation by Carbonell. Instantly upon smelling it, a big ranch boss came to mind, owner of a ranch arriving in his pickup truck with two girls on either side. He gets out in his leather boots, kicks up dust as he walks, his hat covers his face, and every step he takes, you feel terror. The truth is, it’s an incredible perfume with apocalyptic longevity, quite complex although it’s not an unpleasant oud; it feels animalistic and a bit dirty. If you feel like buying a bottle, let me tell you that unless you’re a madman, you’ll never finish the bottle; you’ll have enough to leave for your descendants.
Oud divides opinions and can sometimes seem pretentious. I admit it takes experience to appreciate it; it’s an acquired and addictive taste for those who enjoy it. I’ve tried many pure oils and creations, and this smells like shit, utterly unpleasant. It’s not the elegant barn note found in some Indian ouds, but something invasive and excessive that fills the room with an unbearable scent from a single spray.
Oud is a material that generates much interest and diverse opinions. I don’t understand how many enthusiasts are capable of holding certain opinions that sometimes cannot be understood beyond pure snobbery. I agree with those who say that to appreciate it, one needs a certain ‘experience’ in the sense of smelling various types of oud and compositions with the note. It can be said that in most cases, or at least in the Western world, it is an acquired taste and that for those who like it, it is very interesting or even addictive. After having tried several pure oud oils from different regions and considering some creations with a marked oud note as the best I’ve ever smelled, I can say that this perfume seems simply unusable, to the point of being completely unpleasant. A very pronounced faecal smell that I had never detected to that extent before. We are not talking about the pleasant and elegant barn aroma (I always think of the nonsense of these words, but that’s how it is) of some Indian ouds. No, this is something truly invasive, totally excessive, and capable of filling a room with an aroma practically impossible to tolerate with a single spray. Greetings!
If you don’t think of the stable, it’s a fantastic fragrance. But if you think of the stable throughout the various stages of the perfume, it’s even nauseating. A young poet mentioned below that this fragrance enjoys apocalyptic longevity, and yes, it does. It fills rooms with a single spray. Winter, summer, autumn, and spring, day and night, very versatile (if you don’t think of the stable). High-quality oud! During the first few minutes, something reminded me of the smell of tequila barrels. It would be my perfume in the apocalypse. Very interesting.
It’s an intense, rustic oud with animal nuances and a slightly faecal opening, but it softens over time to reveal spicy notes. I appreciate it for being different from typical ouds with combinations like rose. It sits at the bold end of the spectrum, evoking wood and countryside, reminiscent of an authentic fermented Laotian oud oil. While it won’t be to everyone’s taste, for special occasions or even personal intimacy, it’s a distinctive choice. In the end, perfumes are for whoever wears them, and if you have the courage and elegance for this one, it’s yours.
I absolutely love it; I can’t quite explain what I feel when I smell it. It brings back memories of my childhood in the countryside, in the stables with the animals, and above all, of my father. I really like this scent and hope to get the full bottle soon, as I’d wear it until I die. I’m not sure if I’d use it beyond my personal enjoyment, but it’s something that has to be in my collection.
I bought it a day later, and it’s definitely the most exquisite oud I’ve tried. It was worth the 210 USD, perfect for layering, boosting other perfumes, appreciating it on its own, and having it as a reference to understand oud. A masterpiece.
Brutal, potent Suify oud, groundbreaking, reinforced by cypriol. It’s total for waking up and receiving an energy boost. Anyone I’ve let smell it has the look of someone suffering from the seven plagues. If you’re going to wear it in society, you need some balls.
I agree with JPC: the Burgas Oud is frankly disgusting and can only be explained by snobbery. Debating whether a fragrance should be pleasant when it smells of fermented raw meat and faeces makes no sense; it shows we’ve become so refined that we accept anything if told it’s good and expensive. I don’t understand how he dared to create such a nauseating perfume for the sake of originality. As the saying goes, some tastes deserve a beating.
When you seek oud for pleasure, it becomes an addiction because you only aspire to smell as animalistic as possible. This perfume delivers exactly that. Frederic Malle’s The Night doesn’t even come close (it’s oud + rose, animal yet subtle). Even Azman’s Risk falls short (and that one has seven ouds). Burgas Oud is a piece of art: it doesn’t seek to please, aiming to be as animalistic as possible. It succeeds. It opens like a stable, so easily. It smells of leather, skin, and animal. After half an hour, that tone drops and it becomes woody, formal, and elegant. I also accidentally layered it with OIKB from the same brand, and it complemented the iris beautifully. I deduced it helps add an oud note to other perfumes that have it subtly. Is it uncomfortable? Yes. I didn’t tolerate it the first time, but I kept searching and realised I would never try anything similar again. So I returned and got it as a trophy from my journey into the most challenging oud. Do I use it? Very little, only for myself when I’m alone, and occasionally in moments where I need a fragrance that terrifies me and gives me the security that only earth and the material can provide. If you have an office/study, this scent will accompany you without bothering, like a guilty pleasure. There are scents for every moment, and this is for the difficult or intimate ones.
I tested this on blotting paper and it repulsed me, literally. I’ve smelled oud before, but this is bizarre. It reminds me of the invisible suit story: snobs selling quality and refinement even though it smells like vomit to you. You wear it proudly, thinking it’s unique, until a child tells their mother, ‘Mum, that man smells like cat poop’.
I tested this on a test strip and it repulsed me straight away. I’ve heard of and owned fragrances with oud, but this is bizarre. It reminds me of the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes, except here it’s the snobs who claim it smells of quality and refinement, even though to you it literally smells like vomit. You wear it with pride, thinking someone will find it exquisite and unique, until a child tells their mother: ‘Mum, that man smells like cat shit’.
I’m used to ‘faecal’ Ouds, ‘stable’ ones, or those smelling of ‘blue cheese’. So for me, this Burgas isn’t a challenge; rather, I’ve managed to see, or rather smell, through that hard, initially impenetrable opening to sense its heart and base notes. Returning to its opening, this Oud will touch on the three nuances mentioned, giving us a brown shock in its presentation. If you aren’t accustomed to Oud, or those who have tried others that don’t appear with such rawness as this (Oud For Greatness, Ombre Nomade, Oud Wood…), it will probably seem a hugely unpleasant and practically unwearable fragrance. For those already used to it, what you’ll notice aside from that initial aggression is a very woody base (logically) well-loaded with cypriol and guaiac, providing a damp, earthy aroma, very slightly sweetened by this timeless warmth of cloves, which don’t demand space forcefully but timidly contribute to keeping the composition from going off the rails, so after the initial jolt, we get a caress. The nasal assault drops significantly after 15-30 minutes, and although it will still be noticeable, it will be in a more formal and composed way. With notable longevity and moderate projection. A good Oud.
It’s like being in a stable at a trade show. Only for traumatised freaks who love excrement. Looking at the ‘perfumer’ wearing its name, I imagine he’s playing at being something he isn’t. It’s like those who boast about being niche perfumers but the result is a mess, while the freaks in this world try to find the artistic side. A resounding NO.
It’s like being in a fairground stable. Only for traumatised freaks who love scatological things. I look at the ‘perfumer’ who wears his name and imagine he’s playing at being something he’s not. It’s like those who boast about being niche, yet the result is a pile of rubbish, and the freaks in this world will try to find the artistic side to it. It’s a resounding NO.
@nanox7 I respect your review, if it can be called that, and I’d say that perhaps you don’t understand the perfume, or simply you’re not accustomed to the oud note in perfumery. In the Eastern world, it has been used for centuries, and Western society finds it difficult to understand these fragrances that step outside the mainstream. For me and for most perfume lovers, both artistic and Oriental, this perfume is a true work of art that must certainly be learned to value, and it takes time to do so. When people spray these oud perfumes, they stick only to the opening, and one must know that the accords of this agarwood have an incredible evolution, ending up taking spectacular woody, citrus, and floral nuances. Depending on the type of oud and its maturation. I understand that people may not like oud, but I certainly encourage you to give it a chance and try it; surely if you love perfumery, you’ll end up loving Burgas OUDs, a beautiful scent that will delight any lover of this note.
A masterpiece, that’s all.
I respect your review, if it can even be called that. I’d suggest you might not understand the perfume, or simply aren’t accustomed to the Oud note in perfumery. In the Eastern world, it’s been used for centuries, while Western society struggles with fragrances that step outside the mainstream. For me and most perfume lovers, both artistic and oriental, this is a true work of art that needs time to appreciate. When people spray these Oud perfumes, they only catch the opening and fail to realise the Agarwood accords have an incredible evolution, finishing with spectacular woody, citrus, and floral nuances depending on the Oud type and its maturity. I understand some may not like it, but I encourage you to give it a chance. If you love perfumery, you’ll end up loving Burgas Ouds, a beautiful scent that will delight any enthusiast of this note.
A masterpiece of simplicity.
@Nanox7, unlike @jordiPA who was politically correct, I don’t respect your review. Reviews are for criticism, not for being a spiteful idiot. I don’t like Burgas’ oud, but not because I couldn’t handle oud; this perfume is simply bad. I can assure you it has more quality in one bottle than your entire collection. Your vote is worth just as much as someone who smells 200 things and thinks they know about perfumes just because they own 50 at home. Do yourself a favour and before criticising as if you know, go smell raw materials and learn to decipher what you’re smelling.
@Nanox7, unlike my politically correct colleague @jordiPA, I do not respect your review. Reviews are meant to critique, not to be spiteful idiots. I don’t like Oud by Burgas, but not because it’s bad; it’s simply that I can’t stand Oud. I can assure you that in a single bottle, it has more quality than any collection you might own at home, and I say this with authority. However, your vote counts just as much as anyone else’s. The problem is that someone with absolutely no idea about perfumes believes something just because they’ve heard of 200 scents and have 50 in their house. Do yourself a favour and, before continuing to criticise as if you know everything, take the time to smell raw materials and learn to decipher what you’re smelling.
