  I’m not quite sure how to define this fragrance… The opening is extremely light, citrusy with a very subtle touch of tea, which disappears in 15 seconds to give way to suede and oud. It’s profoundly linear, it doesn’t evolve, it always smells of vanilla, suede, and oud. One could say it’s sweet but without reaching cloying levels. I find an enormous similarity between ‘Save the King’ and ’24 Gold’ by ScentStory, almost identical. The longevity is a bomb, over 10 hours and it still smells; sillage is heavy to moderate for over 6 hours, then drops to skin-level. It’s a perfumed, quite oily scent, so be careful, it stains clothes.

  ‘Oud Save The King’ by Atkinsons is brilliant and is one of the latest to surprise me. To me, it smells of chocolatey wood with suede and vanilla, slightly smoked by the tea, but very balanced, creamy, sweet, with a tremendous presence. I think the name is suggestive; I’d say the oud saves the king, but of the night and seduction. It’s not just elegant, but rich and tasty, perfect for a date. The only ‘but’ is that it can result in being very ‘strong’, but I think it’s a virtue for excellent performance; when close, it simply rounds out the components and needs little evolution. I think it’s more masculine than feminine, certainly for cold weather, and of excellent quality. Fortunately, I was able to try it and I think it’s worth it; I’ll go for a bottle. Note: 9.5/10.

  Although it’s good, its aroma tends to repeat a bit with Arabian luxury fragrances; the formula is somewhat repetitive, a bit of 24 Gold HR, a bit of Spice Bomb, and a bit of toasted oud like Ragba… I stick with the other varieties because they shine more and are a little more original.

  A non-invasive oud; it’s an embraceable fragrance, hard to imagine anyone not liking it. It’s perfect to wear with a jumper and casual trousers.

  This is good, seriously. It shares some traits with the ScentStory version (which I love despite the reformulation), but this is a couple of steps superior in aroma and longevity. It smells round, without sharp edges, very attractive and of high quality. The difference with 24 Gold is the iris (which gives it a powdery touch, making it flow lightly and fluffy) and a very evident chocolatey tone that combines brilliantly with everything, very well balanced. If you’re not an oud fan, don’t worry: here the oud is stripped of its animalistic edge and works perfectly for Western noses; then let the sandalwood take over to become a sweet, fragrant potion. In this phase, it smells wonderful; after a few hours, ‘Oud Save the King’ shines like a star. For me, it’s not linear; it has multiple evolutions, starting unusual and refreshing before moving to a finer oud. It’s gourmet without being cloying, easy for both sexes, perfect for cold, drizzly days with a dark sky and a coat collar turned up. Approved.

  A very balanced fragrance. Although named Oud, the oud is so subtle it’s almost imperceptible; woods and sandalwood reign supreme with a sweet touch. It begins with a cheerful green tea and quickly settles into those sweet, slightly powdery woods. To me, it smells like delicate suede in the dry down, which disappears as it fades. I find it very distinguished and unisex, with moderate sillage lasting 9-10 hours. Compared to the ‘Oud Save the Queen’ from the same house, both share the same woody base, but the men’s version lacks her florals, is less sweet, and more unisex. I’d keep the ‘Save the Queen’ for dressing up, but this one again seems of very high quality. Sample review courtesy of @Jerry Drake. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 6/10, Versatility 8/10, Packaging 8.5/10. Would I buy again? No, I didn’t purchase it.

  It has a sweet note that becomes more apparent as it dries down; it reminds me of ‘This is Her’ by Zadig & Voltaire, though this Atkinsons scent has a much more pronounced leather opening. To me, it feels like a blend of ‘Ombré Leather’ by Tom Ford and ‘This is Her’ by Zadig & Voltaire.
