Fragrances with well blended Oud notes

[Granola]

I have come to like Fragrances with Oud notes well blended and not too obvious. I have some nice designer scents with oud notes hidden deep down somewhere and I am not a big fan of the funky and real Oud scents. Here are some of the ones that I have either tried, love and own.

YSL M7 Vintage and reformulated (Love)
Fahrenheit Absolute (Love)
Halston Man Amber (Love)
Nasomatto Black Afgano (Like)
Montale Black Aoud (Like)
Le labo Rose 31 (Love)
Ferrari Essence Oud (Like)
By kilian Amber Oud (Love)
Creed Royal Oud (Like)
Tom Ford Oud Wood (Neutral)
Amber Oud by Rasasi CPO (Neutral)

Based on the above can you guys give me recommendations? Would like to add more well blended Oud fragrances. I have already placed an order for 24 Gold (blind buy) and would like to add 4 more (Niche or Designer).

I'd highly recommend Aftelier's 100% natural Oud Luban, whilst it's natural oud, it's smoothed and rounded into something not at all challenging or animalic or dirty - it's buttery soft, subtle and really beautiful.

m7 is my favorite oud fragrances, and it's probably in my top 20 fragrances of all time

[JiveHippo]

Some of my favorite ouds are..

Dior Leather Oud
Ormonde Jayne Man
Xerjoff Mamluk
Amouage Opus V
Mona Di Orio Oud

[forfreddie]

+1 Ormonde Jayne Man, I think that suits what you're after perfectly.

A good sleeper is 24 Gold.

[hednic]

Would recommend LM Parfums Black Oud Parfum

[MonkeyBars]

+1 Mona di Orio

The new CK Encounter has a subtle oud accord. Not terrible, but certainly cheap smelling

Songe d'un Bois d'Ete (Guerlain) is the most interesting and original 'oud in an ensemble piece' I have come across so far. The oud works as part of a three dimensional composition - my guess is that Wasser has tucked the Leather Oud 'wood chips' accord into the base and it serves as an interesting and quite seamless extension from the more 'cedar-ish' wood in the heart.

Love love love M7.

Halston Man Amber has a nice subdued oud note.

[John E Buoy]

Halston Man amber
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud
Creed Royal Oud

Ferrari Oud
Montale Black Aoud
Juliet has a gun Midnight Oud

Love them all.

I tried Dior Leather oud and it was too funky and harsh for my enjoyment. Not a fan of Amouage fragrances too

Great. Keep em coming

[Shiny Beast]

CdG Wonderwood
Amouage JXXV
Amouage Interlude
Nasomatto Pardon
Nasomatto Duro
Montale Dark Aoud
Montale Aoud Musk

[onethinline]

Habit Rouge EdP (in the red leather jacket bottle)
Portrait of a Lady (reportedly sneaks some oud in there)

[mgrigoriev]

L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh - with just a slight dose of oud

[Diamondflame]

Have you tried the other By Kilian oud series - Incense Oud, Pure Oud or Rose Oud?

Or how about MFK Oud?

Also +1 on Ormonde Jayne Man if you don't have longevity issues that I have with it.

[bamboogrrrl]

In addition to the ones already mentioned, these two tangentially remind of me M7:

10 Corso Como
Saffron, Cardamom, Amber by Korres

[Granola]

Bought Al Oudh and didn't like it at all. It's since been sold to someone that will appreciate it.

Ormonde Jayne keeps popping up, will have to order a sample.

I like 10 corso como a lot

tried Rose Oud liked it but Montale Black Aoud satisfies the rose and Oud need. Will try incense Oud in Saks over the weekend

[Andyjreid]

Montale Dark Aoud
Montale Aoud Lime
Montale Aoud Musk

[Granola]

Saffron, Cardamom, Amber by Korres

sounds interesting

[bamboogrrrl]

Oh, one more I thought of:

Opus VI from Amouage (there is no oudh note listed, but I'd swear there's a fabulous one in the drydown)

You can get the Korres frag easily on Ebay...

Ordered the Korres blind. Let's see how that goes

[bamboogrrrl]

I'll be curious to see what you think...

[Primrose]

Another vote for Habit Rouge in the EDP. This also came in the limited edition chrome bottle covered with stirrups.

[Transmeta]

Hajar al Aswad by Surrati, cheap as chips, gorgeous oud, musk, vetiver and spice mix.

One can make real finds in local islamic bookstores and corner stores...

[LOST!]

Montale Wild Aoud - A golden, well blended, spicy and woody aoud... great stuff!

[knightowl]

L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh - with just a slight dose of oud

This and Leather Oud are my faves so far.

[silentrich]

I'm not a huge fan of raw unadulterated Oud so I enjoy fragrances like M7, M7 Fresh, Aoud 1, and Royal Oud.
