Oud Abramad

Oud Abramad by BDK Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum from 2019 in the niche price tier. It opens with saffron and ginger, moves into rose and cumin and dries down to oud, guaiac wood, labdanum, incense, patchouli and castoreum. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.

Dry-down

Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Castoreum Leathery, smoky and warm. Adds depth and a bit of danger.
