Comptoir Sud Pacifique presents their new collection inspired by Aoud as the central ingredient and theme of the line of Voyages to the Orient.
Four fragrances of the collection arrive in flacons of 100 ml (3.4 oz) EDP and will be available on the market from April 2009. Each of the fragrances has a small palm-shaped pendant on the neck of the bottle, which represents the brand of CSP and is featured on exotic logo of the company.
Aouda is a fragrance which represents traditional woody accord of Aoud, which functions temperamentally with earthy patchouli and Moroccan cedar. The fragrance opens with rose, geranium and chamomile; a heart encompasses amyris, Copahue balm, cedar and Niaouli accords. A base includes tolu balm and patchouli.

I bought this blind at the start of my fascination with Oud. Oh dear ... no Oud in it!!! Ah well ... at least the Cedar rescues this one and the rose is done magnificently!! I find it undeniably unisex and very unique ... on me at least! This is my go to fragrance when I don't want to smell like a mall rat :).
I'm scratching my head. Why name a perfume Aouda when it contains no Aoud???
So I'm thinking this 'interpretation' is really the Diet Coke of Oud. If you are put off by the oily, tarry accord of hard core oud, then this may appeal. And just like Diet Coke, this can be taken every day -no problem.
The patchouli/resin accord gave me a surprisingly uplifting feeling. No dark here. Just a likeable woody perfume that can be used year round, summer included.
A woody, spicy, resinous scent with no perceptible oud note. Initially there are some floral notes that seem more “masculine” than “feminine”, and then there’s the note that I can only describe as “golden” that’s produced by the combination of geranium and patchouli. That note is loud, it’s bright, and it’s the olfactory equivalent of a jazz trumpet. Aouda has this note at first, and it may be off-putting to some, but I like it.
As it dries down it mellows, becoming more woody. After about 3 hours it’s just a slightly sweet shadow of the opening notes. I was not particularly impressed by Aouda, especially trying the other perfumes in this series, several of which are quite good.
I bought this on spec as I love oud and it wasn't too expensive. Whether because of my skin chemistry or because it wasn't a top of the range perfume, it only lasted about an hour on me. That hour was really pleasant and I couldn't stop sniffing my arm. Oud and chocolate - yum. Am going to try Night Aoud and hope for more longevity.
I love the fragrance, it's warm exotic and fresh and it also carries my name !
Aouda is more fresh, not as sweet as Night Aoud. Very pleasant but not as spicy or dark as some of the other Aouds in this line. Perfect for men I would guess.
