The Whispering Oud
The Whispering Oud by Kajal is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with plum and tobacco, moves into rose, leather, oud and honey and dries down to tonka bean, peru balsam and white musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
