Ard al Zaafaran Midnight Oud Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.4 Ounce (Unisex)

Absolutely a YES!
I have the oil roll-on version of this fragrance from when I first began buying ouds, then learned that if you want sillage the spray works better. As a woman, I tend toward fragrances marketed toward men, because I highly prefer spice, incense, resins, and woods over fruity or floral scents. The attar didn’t enchant me immediately. All I could smell was the oregano. After a few months though, I found myself going to it more and more, then adding the blue bottle to my collection. Ard al Zaafran’s Midnight Oud, to me, has the green notes which are evocative of ozone in the air after a rain, piles of wet firewood, and a subtle vanilla background that makes for a complex, unidentifiable fragrance from a faraway place. If you are looking for a strong oud base note, however, you’ll not find it here. But I love it. And an additional note, Intense Oud’s customer service is absolutely impeccable. If you can choose them as your seller for your oud fixation, do so.Midnight Oud fits a perfect fragrance niche among my others:Swissarabian Shaghaf Oud- with its gourmand praline-saffron richnessLattafa Awraq al Oud- spicy, creamy and aldehydicLattafa Raghba Wood Intense- all campfire, burnt marshmallows, leather and spice bazaarFranck Olivier Oud Vanille- exactly like the nameSwissarabian Dehn el Oodh Malaki- dry woods, oud all the way-and several oils by Al Rehab and Al Haramain

Expensive smell
If you like and own Swiss Arabian ( white bottle of Shagaf Oud) , you will love it . Does not need to be maturated. Perfect niche perfume. Very good longevity( at least 8-10 hours). Good seliage. Very happy with this perfume.

I bought this fragrance because ei had some money left over from prior Amazon purchases so it was a Blind Buy. The incense note it advertised drew my attention though I’m partial to Santo Palo, Sandlewood and Myrhh. I’m a bit iffy with Frankincense as this note is heavy, dense smoky and deeply resinous…It IS heavy.I’ve read where it will last for many hours which I don’t doubt. I have sprayed it on my forearm and the dry down seems to smell slightly better than the initial top note layer. I’d wear this as an everyday spritz but not to anywhere fancy or elegant…but to go to the grocery store or errands I can see myself wearing this…they say this is the closest you will get to Amouge Interlude. Very heavy smokiness. Very dense. As far from flowery or fruity or “sweetness” or citrusy zingyness or light hearted airy as you can get…Would I buy this again ?Probably not.There are scores of better crafted olfactory compositions utilizing more skillfully blended incense notes than this heavy linear sledgehammer.

Good product
Lasts for long , very strong. Now don’t go crazy with it cause people will tell you your perfume is suffocating

Very nice fragrance for a great price. Must buy all the time. Top notch product that would compete tow to tow with Tom Ford products.
