White Oud Attar Oil by Dukhni | Alcohol-Free Arabic Perfume for Men & Women | 30ml Pure Abyad Roll-On | Authentic White Oudh Fragrance | Vegan Islamic Scent

The rollerball bottle makes it easy to apply just the right amount to pulse points, and even a small dab on my wrist lingers gently on the skin without feeling heavy. The fragrance itself feels soft, warm, clean and slightly mysterious with a calming depth to it that feels tranquil rather than overpowering. After around half an hour, I could still catch gentle whiffs of it on my skin, which makes it perfect for those who prefer subtle scents that sit close rather than shout across a room.

Every body perceives smells differently and I have been professionally using essential oils for 27years, for cote t I’ve visited the French perfume houses, and smelled so many synthetic and natural essential oils over the years that I have come to the point where nose cannot stand the fake scents out there, especially body sprays and cheap perfumes. I actually hold my breath walking past people who use them or I end up gas[ing and sneezing. Hence I don’t do much shopping! I do love attars, incense, and oud is my favourite. I have oud chips I burn on charcoal and the smell is divine. I will say if you aren’t used to or don’t like the deeper heavy scents of the Middle East then there is a possibility these will be to strong for you. Personally I love attars and wear them more than perfumes. I get compliments everywhere especially in a medical setting. This white oud is a blend of rose geranium, oud and sandalwood. If you have smelled rose geranium before it’s similar but different to geranium. I personally am not fond of geranium as it’s very overpowering, where as rose geranium is more subtle and has depth to it. Of course oud and sandalwood together and I’m transported to eastern regions. Smell is ever so subjective so please understand my nose will smell different scents to other people’s, and what suits me might not suit another. I love attars as they linger and lighten as the day and body heat mingles with their scents. The opening smell of this white oud is geranium and a light sandalwood scent, as I rolled it on my wrist the scent changed slight to a more rose and wood smell with a deep undertone. After an hour or so the smell was still noticeable and the wood scent outweighed the rose smell to sit beautifully like an aura around me. The next day the smell still lingered in my clothes and bought a smile to my face as the scent is beautifully captivating.

This oud fragrance comes in a convenient roller bottle, making it easy to apply on the go. The scent itself is rich, warm, and undeniably luxurious—perfect for those who appreciate deep, woody notes with a touch of spice. It smells amazing upon application, offering an elegant and captivating aroma that feels both timeless and bold. However, while the initial scent is impressive, it doesn't quite last throughout the day. Within a few hours, the fragrance tends to fade significantly, requiring reapplication to maintain its presence. This might be a drawback for those seeking a long-lasting oud experience, but for short outings or layering with other scents, it still serves as a beautifully crafted option.

This fragranced oil is nicely packaged and comes in a small bottle with a roller ball applicator. Sadly I was a bit disappointed, the information on the box says that it is made from rose geranium essential oil and a ‘proprietor aromatic oil blend’, however I was unable to detect the notes of rose, geranium, sandalwood or oud which it say it has. The scent isn’t unpleasant but does have a bit of a synthetic back note to it. It is also extremely strong, I applied the tiniest amount to my wrist and rubbed it together with my other wrist as I would with any perfume, but even this very tiny amount was completely overpowering. After about half an hour it was giving me a headache and I had to wash it off, which took four washes with soap and even then I could still smell it on my skin, I also had to change out of the top I was wearing as it had transferred on to the sleeves. The fragrance lasts a very long time and even the next day I could smell it on the top I had been wearing, by this time it had mellowed and actually smelt quite nice so I will have to find a way to use this without it overpowering me.

This attar is gentler on my skin than others, I don't feel that same harshness with it. The longevity is great too, it lasts maybe 8 or so hours, and develops nicely through that time. It has a smooth, woody scent, it's not medicinal like I thought it would be, its more natural, warm and refined. I use it on my clothes mainly and it doesn't stain and washes out easily.

This Dukhni branded white oud attar oil arrived securely packed inside its branded box. Firstly, quantity is fairly decent (30ml bottle) and it comes with a roller ball for easy application. The oil is transparent on the skin and also feels pleasant when applied. The scent itself is quite lovely and not too strong which I like. It also lasts quite a few hours easily (maybe up to 4 to 6 hours) when applied generously. The scent is fairly rich and feels luxurious and I've had good compliments too. It is also free from alcohol which I prefer personally. Price wise, given the quality and the small amount needed for a long lasting scent, it is fairly reasonable in my opinion (around £18 with a promotion at the time of writing this review), so you get good value for money too. All in all, pleased with this lovely scent and would definitely recommend. Rated 5 stars.

I obtained four fragrances to trial from this range of oils of attar; the Rose, the White, the Khaleeji, and the Ibtisam. Straight away my Moroccan Arab father in law was transported back to memories of growing up in Chefchouan, and of his sisters, while my wife, too, vividly recalled visits to see her extended family there as an 8 year old. These are all strong, complex fragrances; a little goes a long way. As essential oils you can apply them to your skin, or fragrance clothing or drawer liners, or you could use them to fragrance rooms via diffusers or reeds. Our favourite was the Ibtisam, with its notes of sandalwood, while the Rose is quite simply a classic. They're £20 each, but they will last you a long time. Highly recommended.

I use oil perfume but this one not smell good straight to the bin not for me
