Let’s talk about that omnipresent oud that seems to be the base of every perfume today. I’ve never smelled pure oud oil; they say 1ml is worth $40, and on other forums, people comment that Kilian’s and Le Labo’s 27 are the most authentic, while others, judging by the price, are less so. As I have no real reference, this adapts to what my olfactory imagination expects from a good oud. I have a sample of Kilian’s, and this resembles it quite closely, so it’s a realistic note. However, if the first is clear and clean, Perris’s is more wild: it combines the nobility and exoticism of the oud with a mossy, green, and damp forest-live sensation, which is my strong suit. No exhausting rose notes; it’s dark and elegant. As it develops, another wood seems to enter, such as rosewood, patchouli, and cedar, creating an undergrowth sensation, while the incense accentuates that darkness with its smoky touch. As it dries down, something sweet gradually appears, like tonka bean, but subtle and not always noticeable. In summary, it’s a top-quality gentleman’s perfume, with good concentration, elegant and serious yet darkly attractive. The price is high, but it’s worth it. For lovers of longevity and kilometre-long sillage, it delivers everything.

An oud and incense already much discussed. Top quality, but personally it makes me hesitate: do I really want to smell like this? I’m not sure of the answer. It’s not the same, but by the sensations it gives, it reminds me of parts of the drying phase of Nasomatto’s Black Afgano, Tiziana Terenzi’s Laudano Nero or Amouage’s Interlude, though less dry, sweet and spicy. It smells great, but I stick with Bois d’Oud from the same house. Scent: 8 Longevity: 10 Sillage: 9 Value for money: 7 Versatility: 6 Overall: 8
A well-discussed oud and incense blend. Top quality, but personally, it makes me hesitate: do I really want to smell like this? I’m not sure of the answer. It’s not quite the same, but given the sensations it evokes, it reminds me of parts of the drying process of Nasomatto’s Black Afgano, Tiziana Terenzi’s Laudano Nero, or Amouage’s Interlude, though less dry, sweet, and spicy. It smells fantastic, but I’ll stick with the Bois d’Oud from the same house. Scent: 8 Longevity: 10 Sillage: 9 Value for money: 7 Versatility: 6 Overall: 8
What an initially hostile aroma, reminding me of Mancera’s Wild Leather. A hard, potent, dry, and unusual opening. At first, it smells of dry woods, resins, and incense. As it dries down, the vetiver and dusty cedar become very prominent. The oud blends wonderfully, though it’s hard to identify as the star because the dry woods and that trail of incense dominate. Good longevity, with a moderate sillage in my opinion. It certainly won’t win you compliments for being complex, but if you like it, you’ll be smitten. Dark, elegant, and mysterious, perfect for suits and those over 30. Scent: 4.5/10 Sillage: 7/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 7.5/10
A very potent fragrance that makes you feel powerful. It’s immediately noticeable due to its strength, leaving you breathless. Dry notes, wood, and lots of incense. It lasts forever; I’d even wear it through a shower. Ideal for men who know what they want, have personality, and don’t put on an act. They simply are where they want to be.

It lasts forever; I could even withstand a shower. Ideal for men who know what they’re looking for, have personality and don’t act foolish. They simply are where they want to be.
The mix of oud, incense, and patchouli makes it unique. Love at first sniff. After a year of waiting to get it, I can say: it was worth the investment. Worth every penny. Scent: 9. Longevity: 6. Projection: 6. Versatility: 5. Complexity: 10. Blind buy: 3. Price: 5. Total: 8.

I found it a truly charming perfume and a fairly easy-to-liking oud. Very incense-heavy, it opens with a slightly animalic jasmine note that, to be honest, feels more in the background alongside an incense-dusted earthy patchouli. This use of oud reminds me a lot of Amouage Interlude; the Perris Montecarlo one is much more incense-heavy and the Amouage one more spicy due to the oregano, but that’s another story. As it develops, I detect more resins playing very well with the main wood. The incense and sweet facet reminds me of a Hindu meditation temple where woods and resins were lit. In the dry down I like it more because it becomes more unisex, sweeter; the rosewood gives it an oriental feel that goes very well with the oud. It’s quite acceptable in all seasons (remember that oud is used a lot in Arab countries where it’s hot). It’s formal wear for women and quite imposing; a friend told me it smelled like an Arab boss. The longevity is medium-low: about 5 hours on the skin, and on clothes there are permanent traces of sweet wood, incense, and resins, though with a noticeable lightness compared to other proposals. It’s high-priced for an “Oud 101” and not as versatile as other interesting options. Personally, I’ve found it very charming and suitable for cloudy days where an animalic oud might be intrusive. Definitely recommend it for those starting with this multifaceted note.
Given the price, I don’t think it’s natural oud, but it pulls off the trick very well. The same perfumer created Oud pour Lui by Alyssa Ashley, where the incense is more noticeable at first, before the wood of the Oud, but it doesn’t even come close to the excellence of Perris Montecarlo. I see it for people interested in a mid-to-low-level oud. Although the opening is powerful, the floral note makes it more wearable, taking away that powerful, omnipotent character that, for me, this wonderful note must have. If you want to start in oriental perfumery or seek unusual aromas without being too rare, Oud Imperial is a good starting point before moving on to the jewels of Frederic Malle, Amouage, Xerjoff or in Spain, Santi Burgas with his Oud or Mallo con Hoz. Its opulence is more for autumn and winter, though I don’t think it’s so cloying that it can’t be worn in spring; it depends on your taste. For those who abuse Arab notes, a good oud in summer is a delight. Longevity and sillage are very good. One of the best value-for-money options for a decent oud.
For the price, I don’t think it’s natural oud, but it does the imitation in a very honourable way. The same perfumer made the Oud pour Lui by Alyssa Ashley, where the incense note is more apparent in the opening before the woodiness, but nothing that can reach the excellence of Perris Montecarlo. I consider it for those interested in mid-to-low grade oud: although the opening can be potent, the floral note tames it, making it very wearable and taking away that omnipotent character that, for me, this wonderful note must have. If someone wants to start in oriental perfumery or seek aromas outside the commercial sphere without being too tangential, Oud Imperial is a good starting point before moving on to the jewels of Frederic Malle, Amouage, Xerjoff, or Santi Burgas. Its opulence suits autumn and winter more, although I don’t think it’s so heavy that it can’t be used on spring nights; it depends on your taste. For those who abuse Arabic notes, a good oud in summer is a real delight. The longevity and trail are very good. One of the best quality-price options for a decent oud.
It’s a clean, dry, balsamic, and very woody natural oud. I don’t know how they gave it this character without the slightest hint of those varied smells that different types of oud usually have: stable, damp, sweet, smoky, leather… Here the oud adds depth and power without dirtying anything. Some say it’s too potent or elegant for daily use, but I don’t feel that way. As a collector I have to rotate, but I could perfectly wear it as my signature scent. Luca Maffei’s work has been exceptional.
You can tell there’s a lot of quality in this beautiful wood-loaded scent. The opening is spicy and balsamic, anticipating a parade of woods with a stylised oud, nothing aggressive. The incense accompanies the dry down in just the right measure. It’s not a challenging perfume; like the Oud by Acqua di Parma or the Mistery Oud by D. Josier, you can wear it successfully in many situations. I’ve found the memory effect is very good and, in my circle, it’s very popular. I’m not sure if I’d wear it in summer, but it’s clearly a three-season EDP. The performance on my skin is moderate. It’s one of those perfumes that create a bubble around the wearer. It’s not a bomb, but I don’t mind reapplying occasionally to experience that delicious opening again. Overall, it’s an extremely addictive scent. There’s controversy because several perfumes from Perri Ellis are replicated in the Alyssa Ashley brand, from the same group, at a much lower price. I haven’t tried the A.A. ones, but with this original I think it has more than enough quality to deserve a try.
It’s a super potent scent of oud wood and caraway. I find it too dark, although I recognise it’s very natural and pleasant, I just don’t feel identified with it. One spray fills a room and leaves a huge trail, which I find fascinating in a perfume. Very good price for the high quality you get. Definitely worth trying.
The first time it left me dazed and I thought I wouldn’t like it. But once dressed, things change. It’s a dark scent loaded with woods, but relatively wearable. The opening is spicy with a very noticeable damp wood; I don’t sense the floral note. As it dries, the patchouli leaves the spicy tone to become woody with plenty of breadth. I’m not sure if it’s oud, but it smells like it: damp woods, vetiver, and sandalwood, with a typical powdery touch from the house. Being wearable doesn’t mean it’s versatile; I see it for serious occasions because it commands attention. The name Imperial holds a lot of meaning. It’s more masculine and suited to cold weather, a very enjoyable option that lasts and projects, conveying a distinctive and important presence. Brilliant.
It’s a deep, dark woody medicine in which you can get lost. A painting of very dark earth tones, with incredible chromatic richness within that smoky, magnetic darkness. Elegant wood, with a deep, dry, and natural voice, without any frills. It’s a clear representation of oud: deep, forest-like, rough, and attractive because of that magical medicinal character. A purity that takes you to landscapes full of wood under the moon, the warmth of the fire, and nature. Wild oud.
Yes, I absolutely love it. Very prominent wood notes, good projection and trail, and it lasts all day. 10/10.
If you’ve tried Amouage Interlude or Tauer L’Air du Desert, this will sound like home. It’s a classic masculine scent: woody, dark, smoky, and spicy. It lasts for ages, though it’s not the most versatile. If you like the style, it’s an alternative with a very competitive price.
