Omanluxury Oud Aquilaria EDP

Description

Omanluxury Oud Aquilaria EDP is a spicy-aromatic amber by Dominique Ropion, the Frédéric Malle and IFF master perfumer behind hundreds of major releases, from the brand’s original 2020 collection. Despite the oud-referencing name, reviewers consistently note it wears more spicy-and-rose than oud-forward; several draw a close comparison to Ropion’s own Frédéric Malle “The Promise.”

FAQ

Does Oud Aquilaria actually smell like oud?
Not primarily: despite the name, reviewers consistently describe it as spicy and rose-forward, with oud playing a supporting role in the base rather than dominating the scent. We can’t confirm whether the oud note is natural agarwood or a synthetic accord, as the brand doesn’t disclose raw-material sourcing.

What does it compare to?
Many reviewers note a close resemblance to Frédéric Malle’s “The Promise”, also composed by Dominique Ropion, at a more accessible price point.

Is it unisex?
Yes. Designed to wear equally well on men and women.

What's the projection like?
Strong: reviewers describe the performance and projection as immense, among the brand’s most powerful releases.
