I like this fragrance. Good longevity and moderate sillage that fades gradually (having applied 8 sprays). It’s quite original, I haven’t tried anything similar. At the start, which didn’t excite me, I recall a distant memory of Lalique Hommage, although brief and punchy; it has that rubbery smoky point, which I also felt in Ferrari Uomo. To explain the dry-down, the best part, I’ll copy a description of church frankincense scent: pure, mysterious, dry, with a sweet and smoky point, and that’s how it smells until the end. I don’t feel the oud anywhere, although it’s logical that it’s there if it’s called that; I don’t feel anything similar. I think it’s ideal for autumn/winter, mornings/afternoons (not nights). Cloudy and rainy days are its domain, it has melancholy. A different fragrance, with good performance, masculine and to differentiate from current proposals.
What a good one. Thanks, Bofifa. It smells clean, of resin, of soft frankincense. It could be unisex at a given moment. What a great discovery. And even though I still smell like Kouros, and it’s been two showers since my last attempt with it yesterday. Best regards to everyone.
The interpretation of oud in this perfume is peculiar; it’s perceived if you look for it with imagination, but for me it’s a milestone in the dry frankincense triad alongside Gucci pour Homme and Comme des Garçons Avignon. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the low price: Oud pour Lui plays in the champions’ league regarding components and ingenuity. The opening is special, sparkling, with lemon and saffron that tickle, giving way to a cathedral, monastic frankincense, more cut than CDG but with that feeling; not so urban as Gucci either. In the dry-down, with woods and resins (I suppose that’s where the oud comes in), the magic happens and it draws dreamed landscapes. It recreates a night walk in the mountains, surrounded by trees, with a clear and starry sky. Projection is discreet, but noticeable, and the good concentration keeps it on the skin for many hours, like a relaxing balm, almost hypnotic. A masterpiece, timeless, and generously beautiful.
Oud pour Lui has left me speechless; I expected something else, but this fragrance is spectacular for its price. The opening is sweet and woody, featuring saffron, cumin, and lemon, with a wonderful balsamic and spicy touch, although it doesn’t last long. Then frankincense arrives and overwhelms everything with its indescribable scent, a true sensory delight. Afterwards, cedar, vetiver, and sandalwood blend with the frankincense to create an illusion of oud, intense, resinous, and warm. Amber and benzoin round off a dizzying dry-down that reminds me of Monotheme’s Amber Wood, though with more frankincense. For me, it doesn’t smell ecclesiastical, but rather like incense sticks burning in Hindu temples, a treasure for lovers of the note. Longevity is excellent, exceeding nine hours on skin, although projection is moderate to low, which is notable for its cost. Highly recommended if you enjoy frankincense. P.S.: It’s almost identical to Perris Monte Carlo’s Oud Imperial.
Oud pour Lui has surprised me immensely; I didn’t expect this quality and spectacular aroma at this cost, but sometimes the miracle happens and we find little gems. The opening is sweet woody, with saffron, cumin, and lemon; balsamic, spicy, sweet, and woody, lovely, but short-lived because the frankincense soon floods everything, a pleasure. Then cedar, vetiver, and sandalwood mix, offering an interpretation or illusion of oud, with an intense woody, spicy, balsamic, resinous, and warm accord. The resinous warmth comes from amber and benzoin, rounding off a dizzying dry-down. It reminded me a lot of Amber Wood by Monotheme, although this has more frankincense, but it vibrates similarly. I can’t find the ecclesiastical frankincense; it’s more smoky and woody, like sticks in Hindu temples, but lovely for lovers of the note. Longevity is very good, exceeding 9 hours on skin, although projection is moderate-low, notable for this cost. Highly recommended for frankincense lovers. P.S.: It’s almost identical to Oud Imperial by Perris Monte Carlo.
The Perris group, founded in 1981 in Monaco, includes legendary brands such as Houbigant and Alyssa Ashley. Although there are similarities between fragrances from both houses, it’s hardly possible to accuse them of plagiarism since it’s the same family behind them. This Oud pour Lui shares notes with Oud Imperiale, which I’m unaware of, but Gian Luca Perris himself admitted that he was relaunching old products using high-quality natural ingredients instead of synthetics due to Alyssa Ashley restrictions. And here lies the problem: the synthetic components in this Oud pour Lui are the reason I don’t like it. Alyssa Ashley’s Oud pour Lui is called ‘oud’ by name, yet I perceive nothing resembling oud in any variant, whether leather, medicinal syrup, or black olives with spices and tobacco. For me, it is fundamentally frankincense, but I’m confused and displeased by a note that doesn’t fit: a blend of very dry and harsh vetiver and geranium that clashes with the frankincense, giving it an artificial air. The fragrance is quite linear, although its trail and longevity are acceptable for its economical price. That artificiality is what doesn’t excite me, being frankincense one of my favourite notes.

Frankincense, frankincense, and more frankincense, very luminous. I love finding affordable lines dedicated to this unpopular note. If you like frankincense, either splash out 150€ on high-end or you’ll be singing with joy. That’s why this Oud? by Ashley is already worth it. It could be dry wood without the oriental stuff, because the frankincense shines without being smoky or exotic, but rather woody and urban. Sometimes dry, other times sweet and oily; it lacks potency, but at this price, I don’t ask for more. It smells wonderful, it’s versatile: it has a church and bank tone, but it doesn’t teleport you to a Gothic cathedral on a normal day. It sits between the liturgy of Comme des Garçons and the woody frankincenses of the new millennium. It’s luminous, exotic, and mystical, but it makes you think of fresh air and spring light. If Encre Noire is an ode to vetiver, this is it to frankincense: wearable, Italian, woody, and transparent. I loved it, I want the bottle. The only drawback is that the potency is minimal.

I agree 100% with Darkbeat. I won’t bore you: I tried Oud Imperial and Bois D’Oud by Perris, and this smells 90% the same. I do perceive the oud here, although the frankincense covers everything. I loved it; more expensive perfumes leave a lot to be desired, and this delivers without any complex. Of course, there are those who don’t like the church smell or gourmands, but it’s not disrespectful. Houses like Serge Lutens are difficult but have thousands of followers. I have no regrets about the purchase, I recommend it wholeheartedly, and it makes me think about buying by brand. Smelling good is the minimum acceptable quality; a little bit of judgement helps. Best regards.
I use it occasionally, but with care: I apply it from a distance because it’s incredibly potent and gives me a headache if I overdo it. The longevity is good, although sometimes that’s a bit excessive. It doesn’t smell of oud to me, but rather of frankincense and a brutal resin, almost like dammar varnish; they might be similar. In short, if they toned it down, it would be gold. That said, the price is a bargain.
The opening is strange for me: lots of geranium, citrus, pencil shavings, dust, a light incense, and old soap. It’s a smell that puts you off at first, but over time it’s addictive. It smells good, lasts, and isn’t expensive. To summarise, it reminds me of the Imperial Chip soap from the Portuguese brand Confiança.
I can’t find lemon, saffron, jasmine, or amber. There’s just a very dry, astringent incense: the opening leaves your eyelids so dry they creak. There’s only wood and varnish, perhaps vetiver and a turpentine-like oud. It’s completely linear, with no trail (a success here), with acceptable longevity. For me it’s boring because I’m not a fan of dry incenses, but for those who like it, it’s a must-try.
Oud? It’s incense in torrents, but… oud? I’d been wanting this perfume for years and got it yesterday. It’s not what I expected, but it’s good, though not a masterpiece. Upon spraying, it smells like Montale’s Full Incense, but less invasive and more woody. It’s frankincense smoke and more incense. I see no trace of oud, surely it doesn’t have it or it’s not as I know it. When it settles, it becomes moderate and subtle; that’s where it falters. The good thing is that it’s affordable and you can reapply to get a trail.
I don’t detect lemon, saffron, jasmine, or amber; here there is only a dry and astringent frankincense that leaves your eyelids crinkling. Accompanied by wood and varnish, it seems like vetiver mixed with turpentine-like oud. It’s totally linear, with no trail (a success) and acceptable longevity. For me, it’s boring as I’m not a fan of dry frankincenses, but if you like that scent, it’s a must-try.
The closest thing I’ve found to Tom Ford’s Oud Wood, but with rose, less smoke, and much less intensity. I detect wood, amber, incense, and smoke. It’s slightly feminine and holds up. The cost is incredible; it’s a valid oud that competes with perfumes ten times more expensive. The weak point is the intensity: with 8 sprays I have no trail and the scent on the skin lasts 4-5 hours. The blend is diluted, but for the price it doesn’t matter. With 10 sprays and reapplication, it will be fine for close contact. Less than £7 for 30ml, incredible. Without imitations, it’s the best oud option for men I’ve tried.
It comes out rich with pine, incense, and lemon. It stays fresh with a light incense, but projects very little and requires a lot of reapplication. The price is good, but the final phase on my skin is horrible; it smells of dry saliva. I ended up giving it to a colleague; the final phase and the lack of longevity were decisive.
I did a blind tasting this afternoon. Although I’m not a fan of incense, I had a lot of fun. It comes out very citrusy, but in two minutes you notice the cumin, the incense, and an oud similar to Aqua di Parma. The oud flirts with the incense while the sandalwood, cinnamon, and amber give a creamy and sweet touch. After an hour, the incense dominates and stays linear. I never thought I’d take to an incense so ‘churchy’, but it’s not synthetic. The oud is well-executed, though not my favourite. They cost £8 for 30ml; the price is good but doesn’t guarantee everything. It’s a perfect gift for lovers of the note. The main note is incense, not the ‘frankincense’ listed on the sheet.
I bought it blindly for my husband and we both loved it so much that I’m thinking of buying the women’s version. I’m not sure if it smells of oud, but it’s full-strength church incense. The opening is citrusy and blended, but soon it’s pure, hard-hitting incense. I love it, especially after a few hours.
What a gem; I’m lucky enough to smell and touch this metallic blue bottle. It stands out for using frankincense, a rare note in cheap perfumes; we thought it cost a fortune until trying Oud Pour Lui. I got 30ml for less than £7, a brilliant investment. Upon application, it smells citrusy, sweet, and creamy, as if sandalwood were at the forefront, but that lasts a short while. Ten minutes later, it changes 180 degrees and stays that way. The frankincense rises, first green, dry, and resinous, then creamy and spicy. It accompanies a smoky scent, a dense grey mist that envelops everything. Some see it as ecclesiastical; I’d say it’s more oriental due to that spiced and creamy sensation, although I understand the church side. I clarify that I don’t feel real oud; perhaps there’s a dirty nuance after hours, but it’s more in the name than in the scent. Longevity is moderate, around six hours, although on an exceptional day I reached nine. The trail is weak and stays close to the skin, which I see as an advantage: by not being invasive, it becomes mysterious and intimate. Ideal for cold or mild weather and for evenings, for intimate encounters. I urge you to try it and discover its essence.

What a jewel this metallic blue bottle is. It’s a great budget perfume that treats incense, a note that usually costs too much. I paid less than £7 for 30ml, a brilliant investment. When applied, it smells citrusy, sweet, and creamy, as if sandalwood were in the front, but in 10 minutes it changes 180 degrees. The incense rises to the top: first it’s green, dry, and resinous, then creamy and spicy. It’s wrapped in a grey, dense smoke. Some see it as ecclesiastical, but I feel it’s more oriental due to that spicy touch. I don’t notice real oud, just a dirty nuance at the end. It lasts about 6 hours, sometimes 9, but the trail is weak and stays close to the skin. This makes it interesting and mysterious, ideal for cold weather and night. Give it a try, it’s a marvel.

Total surprise with this Oud pour Lui. I liked it more than the women’s version, despite the claim of cumin which I hate, but it’s barely noticeable, how well done! The oud isn’t felt either, perhaps just wood, but the protagonist is there: the incense. It lasts the life of the fragrance. It starts citrusy and quickly the incense dominates, with an ecclesiastical touch at the beginning that becomes oriental and sweet, like cinnamon gingerbread, at the end. It’s kind and not tiring, with 8 hours of longevity and a moderate trail. The best thing is that for little money you get a well-executed incense. Edit: on blotting paper the next day the oud is noticeable, though softened.
Agreed, the notes are there. Imagine a bike ride along a dry, Mediterranean dirt path, just as you light a church incense burner. It doesn’t smell of specific pine, but rather of the whole mountain with its dry herbs like broom and rosemary. The incense smoke mingles with the road dust, giving way to a potent resin of stone pines and a soft, dark oud base. In the end, I’m not sure whether to shower or drink a cold Aquarius. It would be interesting to see how it evolves in the cold.
