Swiss Arabian Inara Oud - Luxury Products from Dubai - Long Lasting, Addictive Personal EDP Spray Fragrance - Seductive Signature Aroma - 1.8 oz

I think I found my favorite oud scent; does not smell cheap at all. The oud is pretty on-point IMO. It is a relatively easy and feminine oud perfume, which opens with very subtle but noticable lychee note but I didn't smell peach. On my skin, the oud is definitely the dominant character here. When it starts to dry down, I get the classic rose oud combo, again, bring the feminine side of oud. Then I get a hint of smooth vanilla, which plays beautifully with all the other notes and bring everything together into a cozy yummy aura.I love this one more than my Juliet has a gun midnight oud. Even both of the main note is the oud+rose combo, this one gives me more smooth and groumand vibe. JHAG one is way more rosy and oudy.However, this is not a perfume for everyone. The main note is still oud which is strong and projectory. Although it is a pretty easy and intro oud scent, it still may give people who are not used to woodsy note a headache. For oud lovers, this is such a harmonious fun blend. I feel so warm, cozy and fluffy wearing this perfume.I cannot believe it's under $30, such a steal.

This and Shaghaf oud were big disappointments. This smells so strong and it's straight cough syrup. Shaghaf oud has the exact same cough syrup smell as this one.Musty air in an old Robitussin bottle. So strong, so medicinal, so gross. Dry down was no different.

Smooth oud with a somewhat cola-y scent

First let me start off by saying I really do like this fragrance. That being said, it is definitely NOT a safe blind buy and definitely NOT for someone who is unfamiliar with with oud scents. It is bold and punchy with the lychee (litchi) right from the initial top notes. It'll tickle your sinuses for sure. The middle notes give heady rose and sweet juicy fruit from the raspberry and peach and then the depth from the rich resinous oud and woody teak rounds out the base notes. Definitely needs to be sprayed with a light hand. This bottle will last you ages and there is certainly no need for over-spraying. The sillage and projection are beastly (everyone will know when you've arrived and where you've been!) and the longevity is 10-12 hours on my skin. Be careful with spraying this on your clothes as you will still smell this fragrance on cloth even after washing. I took away a star because I already have Rose Oud Elixir from Hayatti NYC and I prefer that fragrance more as the notes are blended a bit better and it doesn't have that screechy lychee top note. However, Inara Oud is a lot less expensive for the baddie on a budget.

Perfect fragrance for the cozy weather approaching.

Ordered twice. Both times the bottle arrived with only 10% left in the bottle. The cellophane was intact so I believe it is a question of poor packaging and storage; perhaps stored upside down for many months? In any case it appears that Swiss Arabian's packaging is inferior and I won't buy any more SA products in the future.

Very strong smell of oud. Would be good for a smoker if they’re trying to cover the smell of cigarette smoke. I wouldn’t wear this everyday, very strong very musky, I like it, even though it kinda smells like old lady. Probably wouldn’t buy again once I run out.

The bottle leaked and was missing quite a bit upon arrival.Aggressive up front but has a nice dry down. Use sparingly it could be headache inducing.
