At this point in time I am testing these kind of ouds and must admit that it is not nearly compatible to arabian oud perfumes. The most of the western oud perfumes I have tested smells very syntetic, too medical, not heavy enough, what means that you can just smell it a bit in the background and the other ingridients are the dominant in the composition.
From all these perfumes I would say that the Tom Ford Oud Wood is the only one which can be considered as authentic oud scent!

| Christian Dior - Leather Oud |
Jo Malone - Oud & Bergamote
Juliette has a Gun - Midnight Oud
L'Artisan Parfumeur - Al Oud
Pure Oud by Kilian
Tom Ford - Oud Wood
There are even more Oud called perfumes from popular western parfumeurs and by and by I am testing them to compare them with the original arabian scents. I was asking myself if this trend is good or bad for my upcoming business?! It shows that there is the demand about oud but also it shows that these Oud perfumes are diminished and adapted to the western customers taste so that they still smell french and not arabic.
