About Oud Wood
Oud Wood Al Fares: A Refined Woody Oriental with a Warm Edge
Oud Wood, from the house of Al Fares, is a unisex woody oriental that launched in 2024. It sits between shadow and light, with dark oud softened by glossy fruit and incense.
The composition opens with leather and oud wood. Incense, fruits and citrus sit at the heart, while cinnamon, amber and musk form a comforting, slightly smoky base.
There's an immediate tension in Oud Wood. The top notes are dusty leather and oud wood, dry rather than animalic, with a subtle smokiness. As the scent settles, incense brings a quiet, almost church-like aura.
Fruit and citrus appear next, but they don't turn sugary. Instead they add a glinting brightness that keeps the blend transparent and airy. It's a clever way to make oud easier to wear.
The base is where the perfume gets its lasting warmth. Cinnamon adds a gentle spicy kick, while amber and musk wrap everything in a soft, skin-hugging veil. Projection is considerate, not loud.
Accords include amber, warm spicy, oud, musky, leather, fruity, citrus, cinnamon, fresh spicy and a touch of animalic edge. The result feels luxurious without being heavy.
No perfumers have been named for this release. Al Fares seems to have focused on a balanced formula that suits both daytime wear and evening occasions.
A good fit for lovers of woody orientals and soft spices, particularly those who want a unisex oud with a polished, contemporary feel.
Oud Wood earns its place as an approachable yet characterful oriental. It's warm, versatile and easy to enjoy, whether you're new to oud or a seasoned devotee.
