If you happen to observe me on the ‘gram (and in case you don’t then please do – right here I’m!) then you definitely’ll know that I acquired a gorgeous supply from Kayali, introducing the brand new Oudgasm assortment, which is principally a love letter to Oud from Mona Kattan, that includes 4 attractive fragrances which can be out there as wearable fragrances in addition to fragranced Oud wooden that creates a smoke to fill your own home with stunning scent. I’ve been having a implausible time attending to know the fragrances and understanding a bit bit extra in regards to the Kayali model; I’m not the important thing demographic for Oud fragrances as I like mild, sparkly florals – principally the other to Oud – however making an attempt out these scents has been a complete eye-opener, and I’ve truly discovered a perfume that I really like a lot, I’ve been sporting it each day! Don’t get me flawed, the Oudgasms are massive, daring, unashamedly horny scents that smack you within the face with their sultry smokiness, however don’t be scared off in case you like issues a bit lighter, as every perfume is so totally different that I’d be shocked in case you didn’t discover your excellent Oud.
Since I’ve a lot to say in regards to the Oudgasm assortment, I made a decision to create a bit mini-series devoted to every particular person perfume, so I can waffle on to my coronary heart’s content material. I’m kicking off with a evaluate of the Oudgasm Cafe Oud 19 perfume, which, as you’ve in all probability guessed by the title, is all in regards to the espresso. Kicking off with vibrant and punchy notes of Bergamot and Mandarin, these are shortly overtaken by the important Cappuccino that hits good; candy however not overly so. On the coronary heart we have now Geranium and Rose Damascena that add a delicate floral contact, then the bottom will get creamy and woody with the Madagascan Vanilla, White Musk, Patchouli and Oud.
Out of the 4 fragrances, I might say that is the second most “Oudy” because it’s fairly intense and woody, with a drydown that, for me, was largely a mixture of espresso, patchouli and oud. This isn’t for you in case you’re not a fan of thick, heady scents, however one of many many issues I really like in regards to the Oudgasm assortment (and the entire Kayali vary, it appears!) is that they’re all layerable, so you’ll be able to tweak them with different fragrances to create one thing that’s extra to your liking. I believe there are two fragrances within the Kayali Oudgasm vary which can be for the diehard Oud lovers and two which can be extra for individuals who need to dip their toe into a bit little bit of Oud-laced water; the Cafe Oud is unquestionably one for the present Oud followers.
You will discover Kayali Oudgasm Cafe Oud 19 right here and right here. Costs begin at £33 for 10ml and go as much as £122 for the 50ml bottle pictured.
