Oud Forever by Moulvi: A New Woody Oriental Scent

Oud Forever is Moulvi’s newest scent, a woody oriental creation designed for men and women. It arrives in 2025 as a new addition to the range, with a fresh opening, a fruity heart and a warm base.

The perfumer behind this composition is Abdul Karim Khalil. He brings together bergamot and lime at the top, fruity notes and apple in the middle, and a base of oud wood, vanilla, amber and musk.

The opening of Oud Forever is notably fresh. Bergamot and lime provide a zesty lift, reinforced by fresh and gently spicy accords. This citrus introduction is clear and energetic, setting up a contrast with the heavier base notes that follow.

As the scent develops, fruity notes and apple come forward. This middle section turns the composition softer and rounder, giving it a pleasant sweetness that makes the transition to oud wood feel smooth rather than abrupt. The apple note, in particular, adds clarity and a crisp edge.

At the base, the character becomes warmer and more enveloping. Oud wood is supported by vanilla, amber and musk, and together these materials create a sweet, powdery, musky drydown. The vanilla softens the wood, the amber provides warmth and the musk adds a polished finish.

Oud Forever stands out for the way it combines opposites: freshness and depth, fruit and wood, sweetness and warmth. Its profile fits comfortably in the woody oriental family, but the bright opening gives it a contemporary feel. The result is a versatile scent that moves from an energetic start to a calm, cosy finish.

This scent is a good match for those who like woody orientals with a softer, sweeter touch. It also works well for newcomers to oud who want a friendly introduction to the material. Because it is designed for both men and women, it can suit many tastes and occasions.

Oud Forever is a promising launch for Moulvi. Abdul Karim Khalil has created a woody oriental that feels balanced and accessible, with enough complexity to keep the oud interesting. It is an easy recommendation for anyone seeking a warm, modern scent with a bright start.
