REVIEWS

Fragrantica - This is breathtaking rose "oud" perfection in my opinion (heavy on the rose and very light on the oud, but the star of the show is saffron). The dry down is so incredibly beautiful that it makes me almost want to clear out the rest of my collection. Rose Oud ages on my skin like a fine wine and the rose grows richer and sweeter and more "rosy" and beautiful with each passing hour. Loads of the most fantastic saffron, too. It lasts a solid 10 hours on me with only a tiny touch up spray needed to get me through the rest of the day. Longevity is incredible.

Fragrantica  - Rose Oud is a stellar, stunning beauty. Captivating, addicting, lush, deep red boozy rose & saffron perfection with just a slight touch of an oud feel (but I don’t smell any actual oud)....Rose Oud transports me to another world. Makes my eyes roll back in my head.  My favorite from the Arabian Nights collection and also my favorite from the entire by Kilian line (surpassed Back to Black, my previous favorite).  Rose Oud is magnificent.

Fragrantica - This is an orgasm in a bottle IMO.  
One of the best rose oud combinations I've tried, and and my 2nd favorite from house of Kilian. Lush, fruity, and rich. There's a slight powdered finish that reminds me of a similar facet of rolling in love, although they share no other similarity, just that one facet. On my skin it 30% saffron, 40% rose/lychee, and 30% woods. Barely any oud here. It's unique from others because of the lychee, and woods (2 types of cedar) combo which smells INCREDIBLE . It's so well blended I wouldn't have guessed it has cinnamon because it smells wet and juicy.

I don't get any leather from my bottle and hardly any cypriol. I only own one other rose oud from penhaligon's, but I would consider this is more gender neutral and better. I also own Gold Oud which is similar to this but less fruity and more oudy. This is much easier to wear and smells a bit better IMO. Longevity is outstanding, as is sillage. 9.9 only because it's slightly feminine, but I don't care - It's fantastic 🌹

Fragrantica - This rose perfume is what I always was imagining rose perfumes to smell like. Petals, wood, warmth, it’s masterfully blended and I can’t pick out a single scent that is dominatn over the others exept of course rose. No hint of soap. No green. Not dry rose, nor wilted, nor freshly picked.  A rose with DEPTH...Super sad it was discontinued honestly. It’s exquisite...A real masterpiece.

Fragrantica - I'm addicted to the fragrance. It's quite amazing and I want to bathe in it. That's a little crazy! Don't you think?

But overall this goes way up to the top of my Top 10 Favorite perfumes now list. It's classy, sexy, sophisticated, unique and man I'm so in love with rose perfumes lately I can't get enough of this!

If you haven't smelled this go, get your nose on this beauty because It's quite amazing! Make friends with the sales associate so they'd give you a sample to take and home to try. Once you do you'll be addicted like me.

Fragrantica - One of the problems with sampling perfumes as a hobby is that you get 'bored' and need bigger and bigger findings to get the perfume high.
Out of every twenty or so that i try, only one will really work for me. The rest are just OK or downright irritating.  But every once in a while... maybe a few times a year... I hit the fragrant jackpot. Rose Oud is one such pot of gold.

The opening is so amazing that i started berating myself for every other oud I thought I liked, how could I have settled? This is such a pure, smooth and glorious rose/saffron mix.
